A: |

B: |
Well, you lead. You should know better. (In the restaurant) |
A: |
What shall we have? A three-course dinner, I suppose. I’m awfully hungry. |
B: |
So am I. And I’m thirsty too. |
A: |
Then let’s have a glass of mineral water first or some orange juice. |
B: |
I’d prefer orange juice with ice or iced tea. |
A: |
Waiter! Iced orange juice and a glass of mineral water, please. Now let’s see the menu and here is the wine list too. How about some hard drinks? |
B: |
I wouldn’t mind having a brandy. |
A: |
So it’s one brandy. And whisky and soda for me. Would you like any starters? |
B: |
A salad would do, I think. |
A: |
And I’ll have shrimps. Would you like any soup? As for me I’ll have mushroom soup and smoked salmon for the main course. |
B: |
I like your choice. I’d rather have the same. |
7. Lunch for Two
(Jane and Robert are out shopping. It’s almost 2 o ‘clock— high time to have lunch)
Jane: |
It’s nearly two o’clock and we haven’t eaten anything since breakfast. Let’s go and have lunch somewhere before we do any more shopping. There is no need for us to starve. |
Robert: |
That’s exactly how I feel. There is a small Italian place on the other side of the road. Shall we try that? |
Jane: |
Yes, let’s. (They enter the restaurant) Oh! It smells good in here. It’ll be lovely to sit down after our marathon this morning. |
Robert: |
There is a table for two in the corner. Sit down, Jane. Have a look at the menu and tell me whether there is anything worth ordering. |
Jane: |
There seem to be six different sauces to have with the spaghetti but they’re all in Italian and I don’t recognize any of them. Oh, here you are, there’s a translation as well. You can have spaghetti with mushrooms and chicken, with minced beef, or with lobster sauce. Mmm, I’m going to try that. |
Robert: |
Lobster sauce? That sounds horrible. It’s a constant surprise to me what strange things people eat. |
Jane: |
You’ll stick to fish and chips, I suppose, and apple pie and custard? |
Robert: |
No. Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and baked potatoes. |
Jane: |
It’s incredible to think that after all the effort I’ve made you’re still so conservative about your food. |

Mr. Smith: |
Hello Do you have a table for two, please? |

Good evening, sir. Sure. Would you like to have a drink in the bar first and I’ll bring you the menu. |

What a good idea. What would you say, John? |
John: |
I don’t mind. |
Head waiter: |
This way, gentlemen. Now, what would you like? |
Mr. Smith: |
Scotch for me, I think. What about you, John? |
John: |
I’ll have the same. |
Head waiter: |
So, two whiskies. Very good. Here is the menu. |
Mr. Smith: |
Now, let’s see. What shall we have to start off with? The prawn cocktail’s very good or the melon is not bad at this time of year. |
John: |
Yes, sir. I think I’ll have the prawn cocktail |
Mr. Smith: |
OK. And what shall we have to follow? |
John: |
You know what I’d like? Something typically American. |
Mr. Smith: |
OK, then. How about the roast beef? |
John: |
All right. I’ll try that. |
Mr. Smith: |
That’s settled, then. We’ll have prawn cocktails to begin with and roast beef to follow. |
Head waiter: |
Very good. What vegetables would you like? |
Mr. Smith: |
Oh, French fries and asparagus, I think. What about you, John? |
John: |
Is that what one usually eats with roast beef? |
Mr. Smith: |
Yes. |
John: |
I see. Well. I’ll have asparagus but I don’t think I’ll bother with the potatoes. Got to think of my waistline, you know. |
Head waiter: |
Very good, sir. Your table’s ready when you are. |
Mr. Smith: |
OK. We’ll be along in a couple of minutes, and would you send the wine steward over? |
Waiter: |
Any coffee, sir? |
Mr. Smith: |
No, thanks, actually. We are in a bit of a hurry. Could we have the bill straight away, please? |
Waiter: |
Sure. I’ll bring it immediately. |
John: |
Look, Mr. Smith. Let me do this. |
Mr. Smith: |
No, no. This one is on me. You can pay next time. Here you are, waiter. |
John: |
Well, that’s very kind... |
