Ella : Do you want to make a smoothie with me, Joe? Joe : Mmm, yes, please! Ella : OK, so first we need some fruit. What fruit have we got? Joe : Let’s see … we’ve got some bananas, some strawberries, some apples and a mango. Ella : Let’s use one banana, ten strawberries and the mango. Joe : Seven, eight, nine, ten strawberries. Do we need to cut the fruit? Ella : Yes, let’s cut it into small pieces. Joe : What else do we need, Ella? Ella : We need some milk and some yoghurt. Joe : OK, I’ll get them from the fridge. Ella : The fruit’s ready. Let’s put everything in the blender with the milk and yoghurt. Joe : Is that all? Ella : No! We need two spoons of honey. Joe : OK … two spoons of honey. One … two. Ella : Here goes ... Now it’s ready! Joe : Can I put it in the glasses? Ella : Yes, go on then. Joe : There we are! Two lovely fruit smoothies. Ella : Mm ... mmm. Yummy.
