UNDERSTAND

SPEAKING

Dan and Eric are talking in the breakroom at work.

Dan:

So how are you and Mina doing? Is she still mad?

Eric:

No, we’re okay now. Look, she even made me a lunch box today!

Dan:

Wow, that looks good! She arranged it really nicely. She must care about you a lot. When Yuri and I were first married, she made my lunch box carefully. Every day had a different theme, and it looked really nice. But now, she makes my lunch quickly because she’s so busy with that fan club. Look at it. It doesn’t look good at all!

Eric:

(laughs) Well, I’m sure it still tastes good. And you’re lucky that she makes your lunch!

TRIVIA

Lunch boxes are slowly gaining popularity in the United States, but many people still prefer the classic American brown paper bag for packed lunches. You can see them in schools and offices across the country.
