The intro

(Listening Comprehension)

Hey, what's up everybody ? It's Mr.Wong here. Before we talk about today's phrase, it's story time ! Here we go :

John was starving ! He was stuck in a small hick town, lost and hungry. He was happy when he saw a small restaurant coming up on his right. John quickly pulled over, parked his car, and walked inside. John noticed a blackboard with a sign written in yellow chalk, “Today’s Special: Vegetable Soup with Fried Chicken and Grilled Vegetables.” “I’ll take the special”, said John to the waiter when he came to take his order. A few minutes after receiving his order，John called over the waiter, he was fuming mad, "IS THIS THE SPECIAL !? It says vegetable soup, BUT THERE ARE NO VEGETABLES ! It says grilled vegetables, BUT THEY AREN’T GRILLED THEY ARE BAKED !? And it says fried chicken, AND THE CHICKEN ISN’T FRIED !?" The waiter was not used to city folks and their attitudes and frankly he was not going to put up with this behavior. “My dear man,” said the waiter looking down at John over his glasses, “that is what makes it so special !!!”.

Haha, ok guess what today's phrase is ? Yup, it's "put up with". Check it out !
