How to prepare for your IELTS speaking test

مینا و سامان در یک رستوران سنتی نشسته‌اند و وسطِ این همه غذای وسوسه‌کننده دنبال یک شام سبک و سالم می‌گردند. آن‌ها با حذف فسنجون و قورمه‌سبزی، به خاطر چربی پنهان و هضم سنگین، کم‌کم به انتخابی هوشمندانه می‌رسند: جوجه‌کبابِ سینه بدون کره، سبزی‌خوردن تازه، سالاد شیرازی با آب‌غوره و دوغِ پونه‌دار. 
!این گفت‌وگو یک راهنمای ساده برای انتخاب سالم‌تر غذاست، حتی وقتی منو پر از وسوسه باشد.


English Version:
Mina and Saman sit in a cozy traditional restaurant, trying to pick a light and healthy dinner from a tempting menu. As they eliminate heavy dishes like Fesenjan and Ghormeh Sabzi, they break down hidden fats, lost nutrients, and digestion problems. Their final smart choice? Grilled chicken breast without butter, fresh herbs, Shirazi salad with verjuice, and doogh with mint. A simple, thoughtful guide to choosing smarter meals — even in a restaurant full of temptations.

[前回より]   私は店員から二つのおにぎりとレシートを受け取ると自分のカバンに入れた。店内を見回すと客は私だけのようだ。それから店を出ると男が一人店の前の横に座っていた。


その男は気分が悪そうだ、顔を下に向けている。
そして、静かにゆっくり呼吸をしている。
私はその男が心配になったので、声をかけることにした。


私　「大丈夫ですか？」

男　「、、、、、」

私　「あの〜、だいじょうぶですか？」

男　「うっ、う〜ん。少しお酒を飲みすぎたみたい、気分がわるいけど、だいじょうぶ。あっ、ありがとう。　コンビニにあったレモン缶のお酒を500ml2本飲んだんだ。一気に飲んだから酔いが急に回ったみたいだ。おにいさん、水持っている？」

私　「　あっ、水ですか、これ新しいのがあるから飲んでください、あげます」

男　「お〜、助かるわ〜」

男は私が渡したペットボトルの水をゆっくり飲み始めた。それから、大きく深呼吸をした。

I took the two rice balls and the receipt from the clerk and put them in my bag. I looked around the store and I seemed to be the only customer. Then I left the store and saw a man sitting next to the front of the store.


The man looks sick, his face downcast.
And he is breathing quietly and slowly.
I was worried about him, so I decided to speak to him.


Me - "Are you okay?"

The man "、、、、、"

Me - "Um, are you okay?"

The guy "Ummm. I think I drank a little too much alcohol, I don't feel well, but I'm fine. Oh, thank you.　I drank two 500 ml bottles of lemon canned alcohol that I found at a convenience store. I drank them all at once, so I feel like I'm getting drunk too fast. Do you have any water?

I "Oh, water? I have a new one, please drink it, I'll give it to you.

The guy "Oh, thank you very much.

The man slowly began to drink from the plastic bottle I handed him. Then he took a deep breath.
