The intro 

(Listening Comprehension)

Hey, what's up peeps? It's Mr.Wong here. Before we talk about the phrase of the day, let me tell you guys about the National 7-11 Day. For those of you who don't know what 7-11 is, it's a convenience store for food, snacks, hot and cold beverages, but the most popular drinks are the Slurpees!

A Slurpee is a frozen carbonated drink sold exclusively at 7-Eleven stores. So on July 11th of every year, it is the National 7-11 day. You know, because July 11th, 7-11, uhh… you get the point.

Alright, so I live in a really poor and ghetto neighborhood. We have Mexicans, Somolians, African-Americans etc... 7-11 is the day where they give out free Slurpees, and you know what that means? Our local 7-11 is gonna be packed with all these kids and homeless people. It's like a war zone. You'll see kids running around trying to get Slurpees and they'll spill all the Slurpees on the floor, making the floor all sticky and wet, licking the Slurpees off the machine, be like *slurp *slurp *slurp, ewww… that's nasty, and that's the day I'm not going to 7-11. My friends were like, "Hey, maybe this year is different, maybe it won't be as bad." And I'm like, "Don't hold your breath."And.........speaking of "don't hold your breath", that's gonna be our phrase of the day, let's check it out!
