Audio #14
Mari: I'm Mari from Japan and I'm here with Ron from Hawaii. Today we are
going to be talking about abilities so let's start with food. Can you cook?
Ron: I can't cook well, but I do cook, so I think the reason why I can't cook well is
because I can eat anything, so I don't try very hard to make it take good.
Mari: What do you like to cook?
Ron: I like to barbecue outside on the grill.
Mari: What do you put on your barbecue?
Ron: When I cook meat, I don't put much, only salt, pepper, and a little bit of
seasoning.

Ron: No, I don't think I'm a good dancer and I don't really try to be a good
dancer.

haven't been officially taught how to line dance.
Mari: So you don't dance at all?
Ron: No.
Mari: Next, are you a good singer?
Ron: No, I'm not a good singer but I do enjoy going to Karaoke.
Mari: What do you like to sing?
Ron: In Hawaii, when I go to Karaoke I enjoy singing Hawaiian music. If I'm in
Japan I like to sing other English songs that they have, usually country music or
80's or 90's music.
Mari: Good. That's good. Do you think you're a good student?
Ron: I don't know if I'm a good student. Growing up I was not a good student but
now I am trying harder to be a good student.
Mari: How were you not a good student growing up?
Ron: I didn't enjoy going to school and I didn't try very hard in school. Now I try a
little harder. I make an effort.
Mari: Can you talk more about your effort? What do you do to try to be a good
student?
Ron: I try to listen to the teachers now instead of doing my own thing, and I try to
complete everything with good quality.
Mari: That's good. And, last do you think that you're a good athlete?

any sports anymore because I'm old, but growing up I think I was a good athlete.

to the Audio, organize the following parts of the text correctly. Escucha el
Audio #15 (How to Make Spaghetti) atentamente y después ordena las
partes correctamente.
Audio #15
About a half of a medium onion,
Half a cup of chopped mushrooms,
One cup of tomato sauce, or peeled crushed tomatoes
(I prefer peeled crushed tomatoes)
And lastly, you will need one egg.
It’ll take a while but it will be worth the effort, because all of
the sugars will come out of the onion and bring a nice sweat
taste to your sauce.
Then, add your mushrooms (your chopped mushrooms), and
keep stirring it around until it gets nice and tender.
Hello, and welcome to our show.
Today, we’ll be making one of my favorite recipes.
It’s called the egg spaghetti.
Now, when you eat your spaghetti, I like to pierce the
egg with a fork so that all the yolk drizzles out and
becomes a part of the sauce.
The egg is quite alkaline, so it brings a nice mild taste
that counteracts with the acidic tomato.
First, what you will need for this recipe is:
About a hundred grams of dried spaghetti,
Two table spoons of olive oil,
Fifty grams of minced meat,
And enjoy!
Now, you can fry your egg on a pan sunny-side-up.
I like to leave the yolk nice and soft.
And then put the fried egg on top of your spaghetti.
First, let the water come to a boil,
And then lastly, you can add your tomato

your sauce.
Heat up the pan with the olive oil, and add the minced meat.
Brown the minced meat until it gets nice and brown.
Lower the heat to about medium heat, and then add your
chopped onions.
It’s important to fry your onions in lower heat so that you can
let it caramelize.
Your spaghetti should be ready by now.
So you can drain the water out and add a bit of olive oil
to your spaghetti, so that it won’t stick.
Put your spaghetti on a plate, and then pour some of
your sauce on top.
