Hello from the U.S. state of Arkansas, where fall weather has finally arrived! Many people like the fall, but I like hot weather, not cold weather. Fortunately, it's only cool now, not cold. Here's another podcast episode from 2 1/2 years ago. I think I talk about my YouTube channel in this. Ignore it. I haven't done anything with my YouTube channel in a couple of years. I started a series called "Ask Miss Buswell", but it only lasted three days! I didn't follow up on it. I tend to procrastinate on some kinds of work. "Procrastinate" means to delay, to do something later.

Listen and Repeat: A simple dialogue between a customer and a cashier at McDonalds
A: Welcome to McDonalds! How may I help you?
B: Hi, I'd like a double cheeseburger.
A: Would you like the combo or just the burger?
B: Pardon?
A: The combo includes fries and a drink.
B: Oh, OK. Just the burger. And something to drink. What do you have?
A: The drinks are listed right here. We have Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite and Fanta.
B: I'd like a Sprite. A medium one. No ice.
A: No ice, sure. That'll be $2.75.
B: Here you go.
A: And 25 cents is your change. Here's your order. Have a nice day!
B: Thanks. Say, where is the WC?
A: The what?
B: Uh, the bathroom.
A: Oh, it's around the corner and down the hall.
B: OK. Thanks a lot.
