What are some common ways to celebrate your anniversary? What do people do, where do they go, and what gifts do they buy for their spouses?
“once in a blue moon” = very rarely
“We go on vacation once in a blue moon.”
“grab a bite (to eat)” = have a light meal
“I grabbed a bite before I got to work.”
A. Listen to the recording and answer the questions.
Husband: Happy Anniversary! Wife: Oh, thank you. They're beautiful. You shouldn't have . . . especially since our anniversary was last week. Husband: What? Oh, I completely forgot . . .
Wife: No! To Europe. I want to fly first class and stay at 5-star hotels. And no more places with broken heaters, leaky showers, and dirty bedding.
Woman: And, oh yeah. Next, I want to get a new kitchen stove. The old one took its last breath weeks ago.
Wife: And, NO, I'm not going to wear your grandmother's old secondhand pants again.
Wife: Uh, hmm, for now. So, why don't we grab a bite to eat before we start planning the entire adventure.
