　　情境導(dǎo)讀

　　Bryan和Cherry今天打算一起包餃子，Bryan幫著調(diào)餃子餡兒，Cherry搟餃子皮，他們能吃上美味的餃子嗎?

　　英語情景會話

　　(以下B代表Bryan.C代表Cherry)

　　B：What's for dinner today, honey?

　　C：I'm making dumplings.

　　B: Wonderful. What would you like me to do?

　　C: You prepare the fillings. Chop the filling ingredients and then mix a variety of vegetables into the pork well. Don't forget to add some salt to the stuffing.

　　B: OK. Oh. you are rolling the dumpling wrappers. That is the tricky part. It's best to get them pretty thin, right?

　　(After the fillings and wrappers have been prepared)

　　C: We're filling the dumplings now. Just put a small amount off fillings on the wrapper and then fold the edges of the wrapper together to form a half-moon shape, and press the edges together well.

　　B: Oh, it's important to seal the edges appropriately. Otherwise, the dumplings may lose their fillings when you cook them.

　　C: You get it. So, let's be careful.

　　( While dumplings are boiling)

　　B: How soon will they be ready?

　　C: Very soon, please set the table.
