Diarmuid: You like them Yang Li?
Yang Li: Yes, they're so delicious!
Diarmuid: I'm glad you like them, Li. But today on Authentic Real English, we're going to introduce our listeners to another word which can be used to describe your noodles: yummy.
Yang Li: Yummy?
Diarmuid: Yes, yummy: Y.U.M.M.Y.
Yang Li: 我相信每个同学都知道好吃的 delicious 这个形容词,但是我注意到,在英国人们更喜欢用 yummy 这个词来表示同样的意思,也就是好吃的、可口的。 Mind if I have some more Diarmuid?
Diarmuid: Sure, go ahead, plenty of noodles.
Yang Li: Mmm, (slurp) yummy.

A: We ate out at that Thai restaurant last night.
B: Oh how was that?

A: Have you tried Jim's birthday cake?
B: Yes, it's so yummy!
