Anything is fine with me. I don't want a [vocab word=fast food]fast food[/vocab], though.

"Fast food" is fast, easy, and cheap. Hamburgers and fries are examples.

(4) Noah: Listen
Me, neither. I don't want a fast food, either. It's our third [vocab word=date]date[/vocab], so, I want something special for us.

(5) Amy: Listen
How about some Chinese food?

(6) Noah: Listen
Nah. I just had Chinese food for lunch [vocab word=yesterday]yesterday[/vocab].

"had" means "ate" here. "had" is the past tense of "have".

(7) Amy: Listen
Okay. How about some [vocab word=spicy]spicy[/vocab] Korean food? I love the kimchi.

"Korean" is the adjective form of "Korea" (a country).

(8) Noah: Listen
Well, I don't really like Korean food. Is Mexican food okay with you, Amy?

"Mexican" is the adjective form of "Mexico" (a country).

(9) Amy: Listen
I don't know ... I ate some Mexican food [vocab word=last]last[/vocab] week, and my [vocab word=stomach]stomach[/vocab] [vocab word=hurt]hurt[/vocab] all afternoon.

"ate" is the past tense of "eat". "last week" means 1 week ago.

(10) Noah: Listen
I see. That’s too bad. I really wanted some tacos. What do you suggest?
(11) Amy: Listen
I feel like some sushi. I know a really good Japanese restaurant down the street. Their [vocab word=salmon]salmon[/vocab] and [vocab word=tuna]tuna[/vocab] sushi are really delicious.

"Japanese" is the adjective form of "Japan" (a country).

(12) Noah: Listen
I really don’t like sushi. Cold fish? Yuck! I know a nice Italian restaurant, "Mario's Pizza".

"Yuck" means "That's so bad!" "Italian" is the adjective form of "Italy" (a country).

(13) Amy: Listen
My friend said it's really bad. The [vocab word=pizza]pizza[/vocab] was too [vocab word=salty]salty[/vocab]. The [vocab word=pasta]pasta[/vocab] had no [vocab word=taste]taste[/vocab]. Even the water was bad!
(14) Noah: Listen
Oh, I see. So, you don't like Mexican food. And, the Italian restaurant isn't very good.
(15) Amy: Listen
And, you don't want any Chinese food, Korean food, or Japanese food.
(16) Noah: Listen
Well, there is nothing else in our [vocab word=neighborhood]neighborhood[/vocab].
(17) Amy: Listen
There's a McDonald's.

Right. There's a McDonald’s.
