July! Can’t wait for it to get here. We are going to spend our holiday on Bali.
Jennifer: Dream on!
It costs a fortune. Where will you get that kind of money?
Brian: You’ve got to be joking? I work hard and save every month.
Jennifer: Really? That’s laugh!
A dollar a month? Your paintings don’t pay the bills. Talent never pays the bills. It’s me who does! So grow up!
Straighten up and fly right!
You are not a student anymore. Find a better job and start earning some money.
Brian: Hold on!
I could borrow it from the Stevensons…
Jennifer: Cut it out!
You are talking crap. Who’ll pay it back then? My mother was right – you’re nothing, but a lazy bastard and I shouldn’t have married you.
Brian: Cut it out, will you! You and your mother are always having a go at me and my patience is wearing thin.
Jennifer: Bollocks! Don’t tell me I’ve insulted you? Go on! Don’t tell me you’re insulted.
Brian: Shut up! I’m off to paint another picture. Leave me alone!
Jennifer: Thick as two short planks. Don’t worry, genius, I’ll leave you in peace. After all, someone’s got to do the shopping and cooking, haven’t they?

3. IDIOM
My granny used to tell me she had to go to the market every day to buy fresh meat and vegetables for dinner. It was before the refrigerator was invented. Traditionally, eating was something that all family members did together because there was no chance to grab a bite or have a snack on the go like nowadays. In the past, most parents insisted that the whole family sat around the dining table at a certain time. They prayed and tried to act politely while eating. Even my mother used to tell me, «When my lunch is at its peak, I’m deaf and mute, so please don’t speak.» I can’t hear it today among my friends, and it is most unlikely that I will say it to my kids.
Technical inventions have dramatically changed our habits and behaviour. Usually we watch TV, smartphones or tablet PCs while we eat; we don’t share breakfast and lunch with our family and eat at different times. Microwaves have changed the way we cook and today it’s easy to do it in seconds without having to wait until your parents come back home from work. I know that it’s very rare for a lot of my friends’ families to sit at the table together and share their news over a good meal. Moreover, the thought of cooking for someone at home makes them nervous and anxious, for guests in particular. If it happens, the day turns into a nightmare and the hosts don’t feel happy at all. So, most prefer having snacks and lunch outside and ordering pizza or other convenience food has become quite natural. That’s why, times change, but not necessarily for the better.
· TIMES CHANGE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE BETTER / времена меняются, но необязательно к лучшему

? THE BIRTHDAY PARTY
The birthday was great, my mother helped me set the table and handed round
plates with snacks and salad. My brother poured out
drinks. As anyone needed a refill, he immediately came up and topped up
their glasses. I served the main dish and all my friends dug in to
pork and mashed potatoes. It was Daisy who didn’t touch her food.
«Why are you picking at
