Recipes
Shirley: Would you like some cookies? I
just made them.
Louise: Thank you. Yes, I would.
Shirley: These are chocolate, and those are almondflavored.
Louise: I guess I’ll try
a chocolate one first. Mmmm…this is delicious.
Are they hard to make?
Shirley: No, they’re really quite easy. Wait a
minute, I’ve got the recipe right here. See…these are the ingredients, and then
you just follow the directions.
Louise: That does look easy. I think I’ll make
some tonight. |
Conversation Notes |
- Would you like some cookies
- This is equivalent to Would you like to have some (of
these) cookies? It is a more courteous form than Do you want some cookies?
- just
- Meaning is very recently.
- a chocolate one
- Notice that the stress falls on chocolate, since one,
when used as a pronoun, is normally unstressed.
- Mmmm
- A sound denoting gustatory
enjoyment.
- Are they hard to make
- A useful pattern. Some additional examples: Is
that hard to do? Are these books difficult to read? Is that paper hard to write
on? My new car is easy to drive. These shirts are easy to wash and iron.
- I’ve got the recipe
- Alternative form: I have the recipe…
- just
- Meaning is simply; only.
- That does look easy
- The emphatic form of That looks easy. Note the strong
stress on does.
