It was time to make dinner at Joey and Lucy's house. Lucy's mom was busy (make) dinner. She was cooking chicken, rice, mashed potatoes （土豆泥）, and salad for dinner it began to rain.
Lucy was helping her mom the mashed potatoes, and Joey was putting tomatoes in the salad. When dinner was ready, Lucy called for Dad to come to the dinner table to eat. To her surprise, she saw her father (sleep) against the window!
"Dad, dinner's ready," said Lucy. "Come and (join) us, please."
Soon they all sat at the table to eat dinner. Everyone finished all of their dinner except （除……以外） Joey, who wouldn't touch his salad. "I don't like salad," he said. "You should eat it." said Mom. "It's (health) for you." Joey tried not to eat salad first, but finally he had to finish the rest of his food without saying anything.
When dinner was over, it rained (heavy). Dad and Lucy were doing the dishes while Mom and Joey were (relax) in the living room. They had to wait for the rain (die) down so that Lucy and Joey could play outside.
