Lunchtime 
In this new section, we’ll be looking at slang English in conversations. Read 
or listen to the dialogue and try to guess the meaning of the slang words 
and expressions. Then, check your understanding with the useful glossary. 
Warning
Many of the words and expressions from this section are used in informal situations. This language is useful to learn about and 
recognise, but we don’t recommend you use it unless you’re sure it would be appropriate.
Conversations to help you learn English slang. 
Do you 
fancy a bite 
to eat?
Nah, I think 
I’ll give it 
a miss! 
I’ve got 
a dodgy 
tummy!
