M: I just received my invoice from the gas company in the mail. I can't believe the cost.
W: Mine was quiet high, too. I think it's because I've been using my heater so much in this cold weather.
M: I have as well. However, I still believe it's higher than it should be. Maybe I should contact the gas company to see if their regular rates have increased.
W: Sounds like a good idea. Their customer service department is very attentive. Keep me updated on what they tell you.

MOM : Ethan, get ready. We're going to your grandparents' house for dinner.
ETHAN : Again? We went there last weekend.
MOM : That's right. Remember we go every Sunday evening.
ETHAN : But grandma's food tastes weird.
MOM : Don't be rude. She loves to cook for us.
ETHAN : I know. I love them. But she always makes the same dish, chicken pot pie.
MOM : Your grandfather likes it. It's his favorite, so we're going to eat it too.
ETHAN : Ok, Mom. Sorry for being rude.
MOM : Why don't we pick up a dessert on the way to their house?
ETHAN : Ok! Can we get ice cream?
MOM : Sure. We can make ice cream sundaes after dinner.
ETHAN : Mom, that's funny.
MOM : What's funny?
ETHAN : Sundaes on Sundays.
MOM : That is funny. This will be our new tradition.

KATHY : Hey Bill, are you hungry?
BILL : Oh, hi Kathy. Yeah. Let's have lunch.
KATHY : What do you want to eat?
BILL : How about pizza?
KATHY : We always have pizza. Let's try something different.
BILL : Ok. Do you have any suggestions?
KATHY : How about sushi?
BILL : I don't like raw fish.
KATHY : All sushi isn't raw.
BILL : I know. I just don't feel like having sushi today.
KATHY : Ok. Then what should we eat?
BILL : Maybe we should just order take-out. You get sushi and I'll get pizza.
KATHY : That's a good idea. But I think I want Chinese food instead.
BILL : Chinese food sounds yummy.
KATHY : Hey, we agree on something. Let's go out to a Chinese restaurant.
BILL : I'd rather eat at home.

📖 #Restaurant
I sometimes go out to eat at a restaurant if I don't have time to cook or I just want to relax. My favorite place is a Mexican restaurant downtown, and the decor and atmosphere are very authentic. You usually don't have to make a reservation unless you are planning to go during a busy time. The prices are very reasonable, and the service is great. Best of all, the portions are large, and the food is superb. I always make sure to leave a generous tip.

📖 #Study_abroad
Before I finish school, I would like to go study abroad to learn another language and experience another culture. I'm really interested in studying Japanese, so I might apply for a program in Japan. Of course, I need to earn enough money to pay for tuition and living expenses, but I think that I first need to pick up a little of the language and learn something about the country so I can adjust quickly to the culture. Such an experience should help me develop an understanding of others---the way they live, think, and believe--and this knowledge should help me in my future career.

📖 #dental_care
After every meal, I am in the practice of brushing my teeth. I use a toothpaste recommended by my dentist, and I make sure to floss to remove any food between my teeth. I am also using a special kit for tooth whitening, something that is becoming more popular now. I visit my dentist every six months for a dental cleaning and checkup, and fortunately, my health insurance covers the cost. For most people, if you take care of your teeth, you won't get any cavities.
