Now we are ready to start.
Speaker A: They say I looked as sweet as a piece of candy on my prom night. And why shouldn't I? My dress was actually made from thousands of bright multicolored Starburst candy wrappers. 18,000 to be exact. In case you're wondering how I got all those wrappers to make the dress, I didn't eat all those Starburst candies myself of course. My friends and family were very kind and considerate and they helped me to collect the wrappers over the past year.
→ Ключевая идея: для создания платья потребовалось 18 000 обёрток, и говорящий не смог бы съесть столько конфет в одиночку, поэтому помогали друзья и семья. Это соответствует утверждению 6. It was impossible to eat alone all the sweets needed. (Speaker A – 6)
Speaker B: Oh my God, the memories of raspberry hard candy. That's something, believe me. My grandmother always just always had them around at home. I loved them more than anything. I would sell my soul for one. You savour it slowly until you get close to the soft centre then crush it to the roof of your mouth. The gooey soft centre then oozes out with the most delightful and delicious burst of raspberry. Whoever invented those candies was a genius.
→ Ключевая идея: речь идёт о конфетах из детства, которые связаны с тёплыми воспоминаниями о бабушке и имеют особый, ни с чем не сравнимый вкус. Это соответствует утверждению 2. Candy from our childhood has a very special taste. (Speaker B – 2)
Speaker C: My favorite cookies to make are cinnamon doddles because I just love the smell of them baking. The sense of smell is powerful and when my kids smell cinnamon they feel warm and fuzzy all over because of the fun we've had in the kitchen. But you might be surprised to know that cinnamon was one of the first trade spices and in fact is even mentioned in the Bible. It was used to make holy anointing oil for the church.
→ Ключевая идея: корица, как ингредиент сладкого угощения, имеет древнюю историю, упоминается в Библии и использовалась в религиозных целях. Это соответствует утверждению 1. This ingredient of a sweet treat has a long history. (Speaker C – 1)
Speaker D: My first love when it comes to chocolate of course was Godiva. When I was a student I had a part-time job in New York and every weekend the minute I got paid I would go to a little boutique and buy a small box of the most delicious Godiva sweets in the shape of a half walnut with a half a walnut on top. The box was $14 dollars then and it was worth every penny. I would eat them all by the end of the afternoon and then dream about the next box.
→ Ключевая идея: говорящий тратил деньги на дорогие конфеты сразу после получения зарплаты и нисколько не жалел о потраченных средствах, потому что они того стоили. Это соответствует утверждению 7. I didn't regret spending money for those sweets. (Speaker D – 7)
Speaker E: Wedding decorations can create that special atmosphere you are looking for at your reception and can include anything you want. The choice is really endless when it comes to various colors and materials. For those young at heart sweets can be used. They can be added to vases or bowls either individually or to one massive bowl in the middle. For romantic souls a bouquet of chocolate lollipops can be made in one large vase or individual glasses.
→ Ключевая идея: сладости можно использовать как элемент декора на свадьбах и других торжественных мероприятиях. Это соответствует утверждению 5. Special sweets can be decorations for special occasions. (Speaker E – 5)
Speaker F: I wouldn't have remembered this except the time I was walking around waiting for a friend and had a hankering for candy. I thought surely there must be a candy store around here somewhere right? And then I saw this place. It was unreal. Awesome retro candy combined with fashion clothes and jewelry. I wouldn't buy any clothing there because of the high price. I was more interested in the candy though and there was lots of it.
→ Ключевая идея: в магазине продавались не только конфеты, но и одежда с украшениями, что является необычным сочетанием товаров. Это соответствует утверждению 3. This shop has an unusual mix of goods. (Speaker F – 3)
