XV. Dramatize the situations.

Will we have dinner in this restaurant? They serve very good meals here, and the prices are quite reasonable.

Well, you lead. You should know better, Mr. Johnson.

In the restaurant.

What will we have? A full course, I suppose? I'm awfully hungry.

So am I. And I am thirsty, too.

Then let's have a glass of mineral water first or some orange juice.

I prefer ice with my juice.

Waiter! Iced orange juice and a glass of mineral water, please. (To Mr. Campbell) Now let's see the menu. And

here is the wine card, too. How about some hard drinks?

I wouldn't mind having a brandy.

So it's a brandy. And it's a whisky and soda for me. Now come the hors d'oeuvre. What do you suggest?

A salad would do, I think.

And I think I'll have shrimps. Now for the soup.

Will we have chicken broth?

I'd better take tomato soup. For the fish and meat courses they have broiled salmon, lamb chops and roast beef.

I won't have any fish course. I'll just try the roast beef.

And I don't want any meat. I'd rather order perch. Now what is there for dessert? (Reads) Apples, pears, strawberry ice-cream, rice pudding… What do you say to ice-cream?

Well, I don't mind.

So, that's settled: two ices.

After dinner.

Well, how do you find the dinner?

It was really fine.

Waiter, can we have our bill?

reasonable – умеренные

you lead – я доверяюсь вам

full course – полный обед

Good evening. Two for dinner?

Yes, that's right.

Where would you like to sit?

Could we have a table near the window, please?

Come with me, please. (He is leading Alex and his wife Susan to a table for two.)

Could we have the menu and the wine list?

Certainly.

Do you want an appetizer, Susan? Oysters, lox, smoked herring?

Does it come with the dinner?

No, it is a la carte.

Let me see… the dinner includes salad, an entree, vegetables and potatoes, a dessert and coffee. That's more than enough.

O.K. We'll order a dinner without an appetizer. What about the entree? What would you like – veal, roast beef, steak, or chicken?

As for me I'd like to have a steak.

So would I.

Are you ready to order now?

Yes. Can we start with the salad?

Certainly, sir. What kind of dressing would you like?

Just olive oil and vinegar for both of us.

And for entree?

Two steaks, please.

Rare, medium or well done?

Medium, please.

Is there a choice of vegetables and potatoes?

No, ma'm. We serve a daily special. Today you can have mashed potatoes. The vegetable of today is asparagus.

It's all right with me. What about you, Susan?

It's okay.

Would you like to see the wine list?

We'd like a carafe of Chablis.

Fine. Will you order your dessert now?

Can we order it later?

Of course.
