Ques: Read the following conversation and answer the question. Chef Randall: Well, hello everyone, and welcome to today's show. And joining me today is my daughter, Ashley, who has had to endure my cooking experiments over the years. Are we ready, Ashley? [Ready to eat.] No, let's wait for a few minutes. We'll get to that. But as you know, my faithful listeners, I starting cooking and baking almost 30 years ago when my grandmother taught me in her humble kitchen. In fact, she taught almost me everything I know, and I've never attended cooking classes [You should have ...] Wait, wait, wait ... I know my daughter's going to mention to you faithful listeners that recently as I was helping the kids prepare for our kitchen for chicken meal, I forgot to take the chicken out of the oven, burned the bird to a crisp, and we ended up ordering pizza for dinner. Kids: We had to use the fire extinguisher. Chef Randall: But that's another story. So, anyway, today I'd like to share with you our favorite ... at least my favorite ... chocolate chip cookie recipe. Now, before you switch the TV channel, I know what you are thinking. "Another fattening cookie recipe." But wait. What makes this recipe great is that it offers a wonderful low-fat, low-calorie, low-cholesterol dessert for the entire family. Kids: We still like the fat though. Chef Randall: Well, I know we do. But let's see. We have all the ingredients, so we can start by mixing all of the ingredients, the sugars, the flour, the egg whites, the low-fat butter, vanilla, baking soda, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Then, we add the mini chocolate chips. Now, my kids would like me to add the big ones but we start with the mini-chocolate chips. And don't forget to preheat the oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit). And finally, when the cookies are done, take them out of the oven, remove them from the cookie sheet, and let them cool before their fingers get into them. Did I forget anything? Kids: Yeah, if you have college-age kids, be sure to make a few extra batches they can take back to school for their roommates. And... Question: What is the topic of the next cooking program? - fun cookies for teenagers - inexpensive meals - tips for cleaning your kitchen

Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Hi, Amy. W: Hi. M: You look great! Have you been on vacation? W: Yeah, I have. I was on the West Coast. M: Nice! How was it? W: Great. I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to get away from work. M: Where did you go? W: Los Angeles and San Francisco. M: How did you like Los Angeles? W: Well, it is cleaner than I thought it would be, and there are a lot of trees, so I like it better than I thought I would. But it's huge! It's really hard to get around. The bus service is terrible, and you know, I don't like taking the underground. We had to rent a car. M: And was the weather good? W: Oh, yes, it was nice and warm in Los Angeles. M: What about San Francisco? W: The weather? It was cooler than LA, but it wasn't uncomfortable. M: Cool in San Francisco? That's surprising. W: Yeah, it surprised me a bit, too. And it was a problem because we didn't take any sweaters or anything like that, but it's always like that in August. Anyway, I loved it. It's probably the most beautiful city in the US-all those hills, the bay, and those magical old Victorian houses. M: So, you like it better than Los Angeles? W: Absolutely! And there's much more that you can see and do on foot! It's smaller than Los Angeles, so it's much easier to get around. There are lots of buses and streetcars, and of course, minibuses, too. Question: What is the weather like in San Francisco according to the woman? - Warm and rainy. - Cool but comfortable. - Nice and windy.
Cool but comfortable.
