    1) Food-Ice Cream Contextual Story


    After the meeting, four friends went to the Dairy Bar.
    Tom planned to DEVOUR a SUNDAE because he was famished. He hoped he would not get INDIGESTION. Donna had little APPETITE and because she was LACTOSE intolerant, she chose a CONFECTION from the cookies. Sally wanted a PARFAIT with PREMIUM ice cream. Since she was so thin, she never worried about CALORIES. Sue selected GELATO, not SHERBET, because she liked to have a unique INGREDIENT in her dish.
