听力文本:

When we say we have "big plans," we are talking about something that would be exciting or interesting to do.

You may have big plans for your career or you can have big plans for building a new house - something big and exciting.

But I don't have big plans for this evening, so I say "yes" to Van's invitation to go to happy hour with him and my other coworkers.

There are eight of us in the group and we walk down the street to a bar called Steve's Cantina.
"Cantina" is a Spanish word used to mean a bar.

We find a table in the back of the bar, away from the door (far from the door), and we look at the drinks menu.

At this bar, Steve's Cantina, happy hour is from 4 to 7 and the drinks are half price.

When we say something is "half price," it's being sold at 50%, or one-half of the normal price. For example, a $20 shirt at half price is $10.

After we order our half-price drinks, I go to get some snacks and appetizers.

An "appetizer" is a small amount of food that is usually eaten at a restaurant before your main meal, or your entree.

It's usually something small like a cup of soup, a salad, if you at a bar, perhaps some chicken wings.

I go get snacks and appetizers while we're waiting for drinks to arrive.

I look at the food that's available and I see a lot of deep-fried foods and chips and dip.

"Deep-fried food" is food that has been cooked in a lot of hot oil for a certain time.
Usually, it has a brown color after it's been cooked and is crunchy or slightly hard on the outside.

Deep-fried food tastes very good, I think, but it can also be somewhat unhealthy (not good for your health - for your body).
