a) Dinner with friends.
Ted: Hello!
Bob: Hello, Ted. Hello, Helen. Come in. Dinner is nearly ready.
Ted: Where’s Ann?
Bob: Oh, she’s in the kitchen. She’ll be here in a minute. Go into the dining-room, please. How about a drink before dinner?
Ted: That’s a nice idea.
Ann: Here we are! Dinner’s ready. Let’s start with salad.
Helen: Thank you, Ann. It looks wonderful and it smells delicious, too.
Ann: Shall I serve some roast meat?
Helen: No, it’s all right. I can help myself.
Ann: Bob, will you pour the wine, please? Ted, help yourself to vegetables, too.
Bob: Would you like some more brandy, Helen?
Helen: Oh, no, thanks… no more for me. I’m driving tonight. I’d better help Ann with the washing-up.
Bob: The washing-up? No, no, don’t worry. We always leave that until the morning.
b) Tastes differ.
- Are you hungry?
- Oh, yes, I am.
- And I’m awfully thirsty.
- Would you like a glass of orange juice?
- Thanks, I’d love one. I like orange juice very much.
- And I prefer apple juice.
- All juices are good for health: tomato, apple, apricot and, of course, pine-apple juice.
- What shall we have?
- A three-course meal, I suppose. I’m hungry.
- Well, you choose.
- Let’s start with salad, then chicken broth, fish and chips.
- I think, I’ll have green peas, fruit and a cup of tea without sugar.
- Are you on a slimming diet?
- Yes, I am. I don’t live to eat, but I eat to live.
- As for me, I enjoy good food. My motto is «Eat with pleasure, drink with measure, and enjoy life as it is».
- Tom!
- Yes, sir.
- I want an early lunch today.
- Yes, sir. What time?
- 12 o’clock, and, please, lay the table for six.
- Yes, sir.
- And, please, lay the table carefully. Put silver spoons, forks and knives. Don’t forget the crystal wine glasses Mary Brown has given us as a present. We’re having very important guests tonight.
- Yes, sir. Anything else?
- Be careful about Japanese plates. Don’t break them. They’re very expensive.
- No, sir, I won’t. I’ll be very careful.
- Hello, John. We are having lunch. Would you like to have lunch with us?
-No, thank you, Mary. I’ve already had lunch. I had lunch at half past one.
- Have a cup of coffee then.
- I’ve just had one. Thank you. I had a cup of coffee after my lunch.
- Have an apple then.
- No, thank you, I’ve just had one. I had one half an hour ago.
- Have a drop of brandy then.
- Oh, I’ve taken one but I’d do with one more.
-Thank you very much. The dinner has been delicious.
- I’m glad you liked it. I was so worried when I was cooking. I wasn’t sure if you would like Chinese food. Tastes differ, you know.
-Have you had your lunch yet?
- No, not yet.
- How about going to the cafe across the street? They serve good food there. And there’s a wide choice of cakes and ice-cream you like so much.
- OK! It’s a great idea!
- Waiter! These vegetables aren’t fresh.
- But they are fresh, sir.
- Well, they don’t taste fresh to me.
- I’m sorry, sir.
- And the table-cloth, it’s so dirty. Can you bring a cleaner one? And I want a napkin, too.
- I’ll get the manager, sir.
