When I was a kid on holiday, we once visited an ice cream parlor that sold over 200 different types of ice cream. At first it felt like I had died and gone to heaven. Until I was asked what flavor I wanted.
That was when my head felt like it had exploded as I studied all the different flavors available to me.
The problem was there was just too much choice and in the end I made the predictable choice of chocolate.
If only there'd only been 10 or so flavors to choose from. Then I may have made a more unusual choice.
- a soft, sweet frozen food made with milk and cream and typically flavoured with vanilla, fruit, or other ingredients.

I love ice cream, it is very nice when the weather is hot. My favorite ice cream is strawberry, however I also like chocolate, but I hate vanilla - it's very boring! My sister loves mint ice cream, and I like that too! We both eat a lot of ice cream in the summer!
Now listen to the slower version and type what you hear into the text box.
