Lukas: Mag ik u wat vragen stellen over de veranderingen in de nieuwspresentatie in de laatste paar decennia?

Nieuwslezer: Ja, natuurlijk. Ik heb het altijd leuk gevonden om me dingen te herinneren en over het verleden te praten.

Lukas: Wat is nu de grootste verandering tussen nu en laten we zeggen 25 jaar geleden?

Nieuwslezer: Dat is een leuke vraag die u hebt gesteld! En het antwoord erop is moeilijk... Ik denk dat de presentatie niet wezenlijk is veranderd, maar tegenwoordig kiezen regisseurs en redacteuren er vaak voor om iets lichtere dingen er tussen door te mengen. In ieder geval meer dan vroeger.

Nieuwslezer: Maar natuurlijk heeft de opkomst van computers en andere digitale dingen veel invloed gehad.

Lukas: Ja, dat begrijp ik, dus u denkt dat er, los van de veranderingen in de technologie niets wezenlijks is veranderd?

Nieuwslezer: Ik dacht het niet.

----Formal English----

Lukas: Could I ask you some questions about the changes in presenting news over the last few decades?

Newscaster: Well, of course. I have always enjoyed remembering things and talking about the past.

Lukas: What is the most important difference between now and, say, 25 years ago?

Newscaster: Nice question you asked! And difficult to answer... I think the news presentation hasn't essentially changed, but nowadays directors and editors tend to put in some lighthearted stuff, more than they used to anyway.

Newscaster: But of course the development of computers and all other digital things has had a major influence.

Lukas: Yes, I understand, so you think that besides the changes in technology, nothing essential has changed?

Newscaster: I would say so, yes.

Tina: Vond je het Nederlandse eten lekker?

Bill: Ja heerlijk! Hoe doen jullie dat hier met betalen?

Tina: Meestal delen we alles.

Bill: Is het niet gek als ik een vrouw laat meebetalen?

Tina: Nee hoor, in Nederland kan dat.

Bill: En hoe doen jullie dat met fooi, en service, etc.

Tina: Service is inclusief, maar fooi wordt wel van je verwacht.

Bill: Hoeveel ongeveer?

Tina: Ongeveer 15 procent.

----Formal English----

Tina: Did you enjoy the Dutch food?

Bill: Oh yes, delicious. What about paying? How do you go about it?

Tina: Usually we all pay together. We share.

Bill: Won't people think it's strange if I let a woman pay as well?

Tina: No, in Holland that's perfectly accepted.

Bill: And what about tips and service charges, and so on?

Tina: Service is included, but you're expected to tip.

Bill: About how much?

Tina: About 15 percent.
