The Wedding Mini-Story Lesson
Hi. Welcome to the mini-story lesson for the conversation “The Wedding.”
Let’s get started with the story.
* * * * *
Freddie the fork and Sara the spoon lived together in New York. Freddie and Sara are getting
married.
Pretty much all of Sara’s friends came to the wedding. But her Aunt Patti didn’t make it.
Two days before the wedding, Sara’s mother and father flew to New York from London. Their flight
made it in on time.
Sara’s father is old-fashioned. He did not want Sara to live with Freddie before they got married.
Freddie and Sara did not have a lot of money so they had a do-it-yourself wedding. Freddie and Sara
cooked all of the food and Sara’s mother made the wedding dress. It was a lot of work but it was
worth it.
Freddie and Sara got married at the beach. They were worried it was going to rain but the weather
cooperated.
After they got married, Sara’s father was happy because Freddie had made an honest woman of her.
* * * * *
Okay, so that’s our story. Now I will read the story again and I will ask questions as I’m reading it. If you
want you can answer the questions out loud. If you need a little more time to answer the questions then feel
free to pause your player and, of course, if you just want to sit back and listen, that’s okay also.
Okay, now let’s get started.
