회화는 읽고 또 읽고 하여 몸에 익도록 해야 합니다.
수학공부 하듯이 힘들여 한 방에 머리에 담으려 하지 마시고
느긋하게 부담없이 자주 자주 읽어서 몸으로 암기해야 합니다.

제일 좋은 방법은 전체를 하루에 한 번씩 습관적으로 읽는 겁니다.
절대 외우려고 하지 마시고, 몸에 익을 때까지 그냥 계속 읽으시면 됩니다.
이렇게 반복을 통해 몸으로 외운 것은 오래 오래 갑니다.
잘못하면 평생 갑니다.

A: It is delicious, especially with butter.
B: I think we should just leave after we fill up on the bread.
A: They probably wouldn’t like that.
B: I’m eating so much bread that I’m getting full.
A: Then stop eating the bread!
B: Okay, just one more piece. Pass the butter, please.

8. Bad Service
 
A: Have you seen our waiter?
B: Here he comes now.
A: We’ve been sitting here for almost 10 minutes.
B: Oops, I guess I was wrong. That isn’t our waiter.
A: We can give him five more minutes, and then leave.
B: I’ll go up front and talk to the manager.
A: That’s a good idea.
B: Maybe they’ll give us free drinks for waiting so long.
A: Maybe he’ll send us our waiter immediately.

A: He's old enough to be my father, yet he asked me out.

A: He should act his age.
B: But a lot of old people are still interested in dating.
A: They should find a nice hobby.
B: Just wait until you're 50 years old.

B: Oh. But that can be a curse.
A: Yes, because you can be too sensitive to odors.
B: I’ll say. My girlfriend has a nose like a drug dog.
A: Did she catch you using drugs?
