    English We will be enjoying a barbecue on Saturday afternoon. The whole family is coming over.

    سنستمتع بحفلة شواء بعد ظهر السبت. ستأتي كل العائلة.

  2. Jenny
    English That sounds wonderful. She loves grilling vegetables more than meat, actually. The flavour is incredible.

    هذا يبدو رائعاً. في الواقع هي تفضل شوي الخضار على اللحم. النكهة رائعة.

  3. Mark
    English True. The meat was grilled to perfection at the last barbecue we attended. The chef is a real master.

    صحيح. اللحم شُوي بشكل مثالي في حفلة الشواء الأخيرة التي حضرناها. الشيف ماهر حقًا.

  4. Jenny
    English I have been thinking of buying a new grill for our garden. The old one is completely worn out.

    أفكر في شراء شواية جديدة لحديقتنا. القديمة بالية تمامًا.

  5. Mark
    English Good idea. If you grill outside more often, you will save money on restaurant meals.

    فكرة جيدة. الشواء في الخارج أكثر سيوفّر المال بدل وجبات المطاعم.

  6. Jenny
    English My husband said the same thing. He has been watching cooking shows on television for tips.

    English I might join you on Saturday if there is room. I have been craving fresh grilled chicken for weeks.

    قد أنضم إليك يوم السبت إذا كان هناك مكان. لقد اشتقت إلى الدجاج المشوي الطازج منذ أسابيع.

    English Absolutely come! We will have plenty of food. I am also making a salad with lettuce and herbs.

    تعال بالتأكيد! سيكون لدينا الكثير من الطعام. سأعد أيضًا سلطة من الخس والأعشاب.

  9. Mark
    English Brilliant. Should I bring some bread or dessert to share?

    رائع. هل أحضر بعض الخبز أم الحلوى للمشاركة؟

  10. Jenny
    English Bread would be perfect. Maybe some of that sourdough from the bakery on the corner.

    الخبز سيكون مثالياً. ربما بعض ذلك الخبز المخمر من المخبز في الزاوية.

  11. Mark
    English Done. I will collect it Saturday morning before I drive over.

    تم. سأستلمه صباح السبت قبل أن آتي بالسيارة.
