Sorry.Mistakes are normal. Don't worry. The waiter will help you.Waiter: Good afternoon. Welcome to Green Garden Restaurant. Do you need a few minutes or are you ready to order?Um, I think I'm ready. What is chicken parmesan?Waiter: That's chicken with tomato sauce and melted cheese served with pasta or salad.Oh, that sounds delicious. I'll have chicken parmesan with salad, please. And water.Waiter: Great choice. And for you, sir, what would you like to order?I'll take the beef stew with rice and an orange juice, please.Waiter: Perfect. If that's all, I'll bring your food soon. Just some minutes.Wow, that was stressful and scary. I was so nervous, but I did it.You did great. You sounded confident. Well done, Sara.Really? My voice was shaking. This is my first time ordering food in English.Maybe, but the waiter understood everything. That's the point of communication.That's true. And the waiter was very kind. I felt good.Exactly. Most people want to help you. Don't be afraid to speak in English.Waiter: Here's your orange juice and water. Your food will be ready in 10 minutes.Thank you very much.See, even saying thank you makes the experience better.Next time, maybe I'll try to order dessert, too. I like to eat something sweet after lunch.Careful. If you order dessert, I'll eat half of it.No way. I'll order chocolate cake and guard it with my life.Waiter: Here you go. Chicken parmesan and beef stew. Enjoy your meal.Sara and Thank you.Oh, everything looks so delicious.Let's eat.Um, this is really good. Maybe ordering food in English isn't so scary after all.See, you can do it. You just need practice and a little courage.Tom's Doctor's VisitI don't like this, Dad. Doctors always make me nervous. I don't like the hospital.Son, it's not the doctor's fault. You're here to feel better, not worse.I know, but what if the doctor says something serious? I'm scared.Then we deal with it together. Don't worry. Everything will be fine.Hello, Tom. Hello, Mr. Davis. So, Tom, tell me, what brings you here today?Um, I've been coughing a lot, especially at night. Sometimes I feel short of breath.I see. Well, I need to ask you and be honest, please. Do you smoke?What? No, I never. No, I don't smoke. Never.Good. It's just a question. Do you spend time around people who smoke?Well, some of my friends smoke, but not me. I promise.He also eats a lot of fast food. Maybe that's part of the problem.Dad, please. That's not the reason. Don't say that.Well, food may not cause coughing, but healthy habits are always important. Let me check your lungs. All right. Now, take a deep breath and out.Your lungs sound fine. I think it may be allergies or maybe a small infection.Really? Are you sure, doctor? I don't want to be sick. Please.Yes. I'll give you some medicine. And I want you to drink more water, eat better, and rest.See, Tom, I told you it was nothing too serious. And you were worried.Yeah, you're right. I guess I was more scared than sick.That happens to many patients. Fear can feel worse than the real problem.Listen to the doctor, son. And remember, health is not only about medicine. It's about choices every day. Habits. You should remember that, son.You're right. I'll try to take better care of myself.Good. You'll be fine. Don't worry. Come back in one week for a checkup.Thank you, doctor. You know that maybe you should also eat less fast food.I like that idea. Maybe we both need a change. What do you think? Deal?I think that's a great idea. Then we start tomorrow.Tomorrow? I thought we were going to start today. Why not today?Because today is Saturday and Saturdays are pizza night.Movie NightFinally, we're here. I've been waiting all week for this movie.Are you sure this is a good idea? The reviews say it's 3 hours long.3 hours of action, explosions, and superheroes. That's not long. That's perfect.Okay, but if I fall asleep, don't wake me up. Do you hear me?Good evening. Welcome to Tangerine Cinema. Two tickets.Yes, please. Two for Galactic Heroes 5, the best movie. And one giant popcorn. We'll share. I don't have much money.Share? No way. I need my own bucket. Are you kidding?So, two tickets, two giant popcorns, and drinks.Large soda for me. Diet, please. I can't drink it with sugar.Are you serious? Water for me. I'm not crazy like him.Perfect. Popcorn, soda, water. That will be $28.Of course, worth every penny. You won't regret it. I promise.Wow, it was so dark in here. I couldn't even see the seats.You said, "I bet you $5." The hero says, "We must save the world in the first five minutes." And it happened. How did you know? Did you watch this movie?No, I haven't watched this movie before. But I knew that. I mean, I knew that was going to happen. It's typical of that kind of movies.Fine. But no more bets. Why was the villain always laughing like that?Because it's a villain rule. If you don't laugh like that, you're not scary.You're right. People were staring. We were talking too much.You were talking. I told you to shut up, but you kept asking questions.What do you want me to do? There were many things I didn't know.I told you to watch the previous movie, but you didn't want to.Fine, I will watch it. I liked it. It was different. It was interesting.See, I told you. 3 hours of pure happiness. Admit it.Or 3 hours of popcorn.All right, I admit it. It was a great movie.Okay, now let's watch another movie. Um, that one over there.Are you kidding? No, thank you. I can't handle three more hours. Bye.
