Eating away from your desk

4:15

And then in my actual lunch break, I might have a nice long walk

4:15

or something like that,

4:17

but when I'm in the office, I don't want to eat at my desk.

4:20

No. Me neither.

4:21

I don't really like working lunches.

4:24

I would rather eat my lunch without working.

4:29

Yeah, I'd prefer the same, really.

4:37

Let's recap the language we heard during the conversation.

4:41

We had 'skip', which means not have or do.

4:45

For example, I never skip lunch.

4:49

We heard 'working lunch', which is when you eat your lunch while you're working.

4:55

We also had 'leftovers', which is when you don't finish a meal

4:59

so you have more of it at a different time, like the next day.

5:03

And we talked about which meals and food we 'prefer'.

5:07

If you prefer something, you like it better than something else.

5:11

Yes. And another phrase we can use to say this is 'would rather'.

5:16

For example, I'd rather have sushi than a sandwich for lunch.
