Lesson 20 A
Weighty Problem
【TEXT】
Eve and Adam are talking.
E: Do you know I've put on 5 kilos since going out with you?
A: Why's that?
E: You're always taking me to fancy restaurants.
A: Well, you don't have to eat so much when we eat out, you
know.
E: But I can't resist all the delicious food.
A: Besides, it's not cheap.
E: I guess you're right. Maybe I should start cooking again. (Adam
turns pale.)
A: Uh… Let's just forget about your weight problem, OK? I don't
care how fat you are.
E: really?
