enthusiasric ữi high school. She was
a cheerleader, and she vvas alvvays
ỉaughing and making jokes. Novv she

Do you remember what Ted Rodgers
used to look like? He useđ to be so
athletic, with really big muscles. He
went to the gym aỉỉ the time and vvas
always carehil about what he ate and
drank. VVell, you wouldn't believe how
much he's changed. J'm sure he
weighs over 100 kilos now. It doesn't
look like he đoes any exercise at all,
and he eats jusl about anything.
Someone toíđ me he changed after he
got really rich from the stock market.
They saiđ that aíter he got rich, he
decided just to enjoy himseư.

On Saturday momings, I usually sleep
in and make pancakes. You pour some
flour and sugar in a bowl. Then you
a d d water, an egg, aiìd oil, and mix ii

together Then you pour it in a hot
í r y in g pan. I like to spread a lot of
bũtter õn the pancakès when they're
done. That^s what makes them taste
so great!
4.
Whenever there's a big game on TV, I
invite my buddies over and make some
burritos. pirst, you fry some ground
beef vvith spices. Then you get some
tortillas—vou know, Mexican flat bread
that looks like really thin pancakes.
Anyvvay, you put the beef on a tortilla,
plui tomátoes* cheese, and chopped
lettuce. Then you roU it all together and
eat it with your hands. ĩt's delidous!
5.
There's this Korean restaurant on
campus that serves an amazing đish
called bhbiĩTĩ‘ bap. You've got to try it.
They cut ali these vegetables into liítle
pieces, adđ some beef, and cook it all
together with this really spicy sauce in
a hot bowl. Then they put a big íried

egg on top of it.
6.
Well, I đon't know how to reữỉỊỵ make
ravioli. I bet it takes hours to maJce
pasta yourselí. So I just buy ỉt ừozen
from the store. You boil a pot of water
and pour in the little squares oí pasta,
VVhen it^s done, you drain the pasta.
Then you pour sauce over it and eat it.
My íavorite ravioU is the kinđ with
cheese insiđe il Mmm!

It's easy to make a Caesar salađ. Just
take some fresh romaine lettuce and
chop it into big pieces. Then put it in â
big bovvl, adđ the đressing, and mix it
aỉl together. Pinally, when you're ready
to eat ỉt, sprinkỉe some shredded
Pannesan cheese on top.
My granđmother is from Nevv Orleans,
and she makes the best gumbo. That's
a kinđ of soup. She poure broth in a
big pot, and she adds shrimp and
mushrooms. She adds a lot of spices.

The apartment I rent is okay. It's
