地道美語聽力播客:Staying In
It's Friday night and my roommate and I feel like staying in . We've both had a tough weekat work and decided to have a low-key evening. On my way home, I stopped at the video rental store and rented a couple of movies. I got a new release and a classic . I thought I had left my membership card at home but found it at the last minute . I like going to my local rental store because it doesn't charge late fees . That's handy when I don't have time to return the DVDs the next day.
My roommate and I were feeling too tired to go out to eat so we decided to order in . We mulled over the take-out menus from restaurants that had delivery service and couldn't decide which restaurant to order from. The trouble was that we had never eaten at the two restaurants nearby. Ordering from either one would be crapshoot . In the end, we just decided to order a pizza. I called the restaurant and placed our delivery order.
About a half hour later, the delivery person came to the door. I asked him if I could pay with acredit card and he said, "Sure." I handed him my card and he wrote down the number. Then, I signed the slip and I added a tip to the total. He gave me a copy of the slip as a receipt and then handed me the pizza. I was really glad to get it. I was starving .
With our movies and the pizza, we were all set . There's nothing like a night at home vegging out to get over a hectic week.
