(Ela is a student from Turkey.)
Zac: What's your country like, Ela?
Ela: Turkey is bigger and colder than Taiwan.
Jamie: Do you like living in Taiwan?
Ela: Yes. Life here is convenient, and getting around in Taiwan is easier than in Turkey.
Zac: How do you like the food here?
Ela: Well...my family and I don't eat pork, but people here love pork.
Cody: Do you eat beef?
Ela: Sure. Beef dishes here are more delicious than the ones back home.
Zac: I feel hungry now.
Jamie: I'm getting hungry, too. Let's go to that steak house near the school.
Cody: That sounds like a great idea.
(The students are reading the menu.)
Waitress: May I take your order?
Cody: Yes. I'd like the ham and cheese sandwich.
Zac: I'll have the cheeseburger, please.
Ela: May I have the steak with fries? It looks yummy.
Waitress: How would you like your steak?
Ela: Medium, please. How about you, Jamie?
Jamie: I'll have two hamburgers and one pumpkin pie with ice cream. The pumpkin pies here smell good and taste great!
Ela: Really? I want one, too.
Zac: You two have a better appetite than we do.

柴克:我要一個起司漢堡,謝謝。
艾拉: 我可以要牛排搭配薯條嗎?它看起來很好吃。
