LESSON 10: WHAT AN IRRITATION
Story
Addison
I was sleeping in after a very late Friday night and the phone rang. I
Felt absolutely rancid! I rushed to get the phone wondering who on
Earth would be calling at such an hour. Great, it was my mom. I asked
Her what was so important. She said, “oh nothing important, just
Wanted to say good morning”. I made an excuse to her that I really
Needed to go the bathroom, so I let her go quickly. What a relief to get
Back in to bed! 5 minutes after I was totally asleep, the phone rang
Again. It was my mom again. She forgot to mention to me that she was
Calling from her cell phone and was now in the driveway waiting for
Me so she could take me to breakfast. I guess that’s what I get for
Making an excuse!
Key vocabulary and phrases that are discussed in the podcast:
Rancid – rotten, bad, spoiled
Who on earth – a phrase that is used when you have no idea who the person could be.
Such an hour – a very early or late time
Let her go – finish the conversation with her and end the phone call.
Relief – a feeling of relaxation
Totally asleep – completely sleeping
Forgot to mention – forgot to tell someone
Driveway – a place where you park your car beside a house
That’s what I get for – is a phrase used when you do something that you shouldn’t have
Done and somehow you have some consequences for your actions or behavior
