Kitchens 厨房

【Beginner】step1：初级入门

A: Can you give me a hand with some things in the kitchen? I don’t think I can finish everything in time.

B: Ok, what do you want me to do?

A: First of all, I need you to do the drying up. I’m almost finished the washing up. I’m going to clean the cooker when I finish.

B: Ok. I’ll put the plates and cutlery away as I dry them. Where is the tea towel? Oh, here it is.

A: We’ll have this finished in no time with two of us working on it.

B: While you’re cleaning the cooker, I’ll wipe the worktop. That was a great meal, by the way.

A: Actually, it was just some leftovers from yesterday. I made far too much food to eat alone. I am glad you could come over to help me finish it.

B: My pleasure! This tea towel’s a little ragged. Do you have another one?

A: Yes. Look in that drawer. I should throw that old one out.

B: Keep it and use it as rag. You can clean your bicycle with it.

【Intermediate】step2: 中级进阶

A: So, what’s new in the kitchen? That refrigerator is new, isn’t it?

B: Yes. I needed a larger one. Before, I had a separate refrigerator and freezer, but this has both combined into one.

A: That’s usual nowadays. You’ve added a few shelves too.

B: Yes. You know I’ve been cooking more kinds of food recently and I needed some extra space for spices and ingredients.

A: Did you buy new cupboards too?

B: No, I didn’t. I gave them a really good clean, so they just look new. The worktop was in poor condition, so I had a new one added.

A: I see that you have bought several new pots and pans and utensils.

B: Yes, I have. I need them to help me with all these new dishes I’m trying to make. I need a little more practice before I invite guests over.

A: Looking at the spice rack, I’d say you’ve been learning how to make Asian food.

B: Yes. I’ve always like Indian and Thai food, so I’ve been trying to make dishes from those countries. I’m pretty good at making curries now, but I still need practice at making Thai food.

A: Both kinds of food are becoming popular. Nowadays, it’s very easy to pick up the ingredients at the supermarket.

B: I hope you can stay for dinner. I need a guinea pig!
