Let's Learn English - Lesson 30 : Rolling on the River:
| Anna | Hello! Washington, D.C. sits on the Potomac River. This river is important to the history and culture of the city. Today, I am at an outdoor seafood market near the Potomac River. Some say it is the oldest outdoor seafood market in the United States! I am here to buy seafood. Let’s see what they have! |
| Anna | Excuse me. Can you help me? |
| Pete | Sure! What do you need? |
| Anna | Pete! |
| Pete | Anna! |
| Anna | What are you doing here? |
| Pete | I work here. You know, it’s not easy to be a writer. |
| Anna | Yeah, I heard that. Sorry. |
| Pete | But this job is great. I work outside by the river. And I can eat all the free seafood I want! |
| Anna | That is great, Pete. In fact, I am here to buy some seafood for my dinner party. |
| Pete | You came to the right place. They have the freshest seafood in town. How much money can you spend? |
| Anna | I can only spend $50. |
| Pete | Okay. What do you want? |
| Anna | First, I want to buy some shrimp. |
| Pete | Sure thing. Follow me. How much shrimp do you want? |
| Anna | How much do I need for five people? |
| Pete | (yells to co-worker) Give her a pound of shrimp! |
| Anna | Ok, now I want to buy some crabs. |
| Pete | The crabs here are delicious! They are the best because they come from the nearby Chesapeake Bay! Walk this way. |
| Pete | How many crabs do you want? |
| Anna | I want a dozen crabs. |
| Pete | You should get the larger crabs. They have the most meat. |
| Anna | Then I want a dozen large crabs, please! |
| Pete | Is that everything you need? |
| Anna | Let’s see … I have shrimp and crabs. And a friend is bringing a salad and many ears of corn-on-the-cob. |
| Pete | Is that all the seafood that you need? |
| Anna | Yes. |
| Pete | That’ll be $49.95. Cash or credit? |
| Anna | Credit, please. |
| Pete | Anna, you love to eat seafood. Did you grow up on the water? |
| Anna | No, I didn’t. But I love the water. And I love being on the water. |
| Pete | You know how to sail? |
| Anna | Well … this afternoon I am going on a boat. |
| Pete | You are full of surprises. What kind of boat? Is it a motorboat or a sailboat? |
| Anna | It’s a special boat, Pete. Well, thanks for your help. See you later! |
| Pete | See you, Anna! Wow, Anna’s a sailor! Who knew? |
| Anna | Yes, rivers are important to the history and culture of Washington, D.C. And now I am part of this city’s interesting waterfront culture. Until next time! |
