Taro: Have you ever eaten turkey, Aki?
Aki: Yeah, I had it while I was studying in America. My host mother cooked it on Christmas Day.
Taro: Really? How was it?
Aki: It was really good. It tasted like chicken. We had it with gravy and mashed potatoes.
Taro: Gravy? What's that?
Aki: Gravy is a thick, brown sauce made from the juices of cooked meat. It has a salty taste.
Taro: Gravy makes turkey meat better, right?
Aki: That's right. It *goes well with turkey meat. As a matter of fact, it was so delicious that I asked my host mother to teach me how to make it.
Taro: Hmm ... You're so adventurous in trying new foods. I'm not sure I can do the same in a foreign country.
Aki: Aren't you going to study abroad this year?
Taro: Yeah, I'm going to Canada. I'm getting a little bit nervous about it.
Aki: But your English is great!
Taro: I'm worried about my host father. He's a turkey farmer. I'm afraid I'll have to eat turkey with my host family!
Aki: Oh, don't worry, Taro. I'm sure you'll like it! Trying new foods is a great way to learn about different cultures.
