  • Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm Lee and with me is Rob.

  • Hi, Rob.

  • Hi, Lee.

  • Hey.

  • It looks like you've been really busy.

  • I've just picked up some groceries from the local shop.

  • You know, milk, eggs, bread, flour.

  • I'm going to make a cake.

  • He has.

  • It was tricky in the shop.

  • I didn't want to say anything to him, just in case I mentioned his wife.

  • I only said, good morning, and he said, is it?

  • Hmm.
