Caty: Sabaidee Toui!
Toui: Caty, have you been to Alaska yet?
Caty: No, but I’d love to go there. Are planning a visit?
Toui: I’m just thinking about future trips. What is Alaska known for?
Caty: Extremely cold, long and dark winters! Plus beautiful landscapes and wild animals like grizzly bears, whales, caribou…
Toui: Oh nice… I would visit in the summer but not winter.
Caty: Me too. Have you seen this video about a Vietnamese family business in Alaska?
Toui: Not yet.
Caty: Great. Let’s watch.

Hien Tran owns Amelia’s, a restaurant in town… She says cooking didn’t come easily to her.
Her restaurant is a hit among fishing crews and members of the local Coast Guard like Sara, who provided only her first name.
Tran manages, even though she often can't get anything fresh except for seafood. When it comes to vegetables, she takes whatever arrives in the twice-weekly containerized shipments that come from the mainland by train, and then ship.
“The shipments that come in here sometimes can’t come because of the weather. And sometimes the weather causes delays, and when our orders finally get here, the food is spoiled.”
Toui: I think it is more difficult for restaurants there in the winter than other states. Can you explain provide?
Caty: Provide means to give. The woman provided, or gave, her first name to the reporter.
Toui: How about mainland?
Caty: It is the main part of a country or continent. Ohio is a mainland American state. Hawaii is a non-mainland American state.
Toui: And the last word is delay?
Caty: Delay means to cause someone or something to slow or be late.
Toui: Great. Now it’s time for pronunciations.
Toui: That’s it, Caty! Thank you.
Caty: You’re welcome!
