Тема: At the restaurant

Завдання 1. Read the dialogue.

At the Restaurant

Steve: Would you like to eat something?

Roy: With the greatest pleasure. I’m as hungry as a horse¹. I gulped down² only a sandwich and a cup of tea this morning.

Steve: How about having dinner³ at the new restaurant across the road? They serve good meals there. At present there isn’t a better restaurant in the city.

Roy: I’m afraid it’ll be too expensive.

Steve: The prices are quite reasonable. Beside that, there are few people there and the service is excellent.

Roy: Then it’s settled⁴.

(At the restaurant)

Roy: Oh, it’s very nice here, indeed. I’d like to sit at that table.

Steve: I’m afraid it is reserved. Here is another place at the window.

Waiter: Hello! What will you order, gentlemen? Here is the menu.

Roy: What shall we have? I’d like to have something substantial.

Steve: So would I. And I’m thirsty too. What do you say to a bottle of beer?

Roy: No beer, thanks. I prefer a glass of mineral water.

Steve: I don’t mind that myself. (To the waiter) A bottle a mineral water,

please. Now, let’s see the menu. Is there anything to your taste,

Roy?

Roy: Oh, yes, many things. I’d like some salad first.

Waiter: I can offer you sliced⁵ cucumbers with sour cream.

Roy: Very good. What would you recommend for the first course?

Waiter: There is chicken soup with rice, cabbage soup with meat, bean

soup and fish soup.

Steve: Let it be fish soup. How is it prepared?

Waiter: It is a soup made from several kinds of fish with white wine. It’s

our house speciality.

Roy: I’ll follow suit. A bowl of hot soup will do me good.

(Five minutes later)

Steve: How do you find the soup? It is delicious, isn’t it?

Roy: Really excellent. Please pass me the salt.

Steve: Some more bread?

Roy: Yes, with pleasure. Here comes the waiter again. What shall we

order next?

Steve: I’ll have a mutton chop with fried potatoes.

Roy: And I think there is nothing like⁶ a juicy piece of roast beef, just

slightly underdone⁷.

Steve: What shall we have for dessert?

Roy: I leave the choice to you, Steve. You are a sweet tooth⁸, I know.

Steve: I suggest black coffee, chocolate pudding and ice cream.

Roy: I like your choice. I’ll have the same.

Steve: The waiter is coming with our orders.

Roy: Our dishes look appetizing. Will you pass me the mustard, please?

Steve: Here you are. I never take mustard or pepper.

Roy: You don’t say! As for me I like both.

(Some time later)

Steve: Here comes our coffee. Do you mind is I pour, Roy?

Roy: Not at all, that will suit me perfectly.

Steve: The pudding is splendid.

Roy: So is the ice cream. What time is it, please?

Steve: Let me see. My watch is a bit slow. It’s half past two.

Roy: It’s time to go. Waiter, we are in a bit of a hurry. Could we have

the bill straight away⁹, please?

Waiter: Sure. I’ll bring it immediately.

Roy: What does the bill come to?

Steve: Look, Roy! It’s my treat today.

Roy: No, I won’t allow you to pay the bill. It’s my treat.

Steve: O.K. I’ll pay next time.

Roy: This place is excellent indeed. You were quite right. We really had

a good meal. I almost feel like a new man. What about you?

Steve: So do I… Everything was well cooked the service was excellent.

Newton’s Dinner

Isaac Newton was known as a very absent-minded¹ man. One day a gentleman came to see him, but was told that Sir Isaac was busy in his study and that nobody was allowed² to disturb³ him.

As it was dinner time, the visitor was invited to wait in the dining room. In a few minutes a boiled chicken under a cover was brought and placed on the table. An hour passed⁴, but Newton didn’t enter the room. Te gentleman feeling hungry ate the chicken, and covering up the skeleton asked the sevant⁵ to boil another one for Newton. But before the second chicken was ready, the scientist⁶ came into the room at last apologizing for his delay⁷. Then he said: “As I feel rather tired and hungry, I hope you will excuse me a little longer, while I take my dinner, and then I will be at your service.” With these words he lifted the cover, and without emotion turned round to the gentleman and said: “See what a strange set⁸ we scientists are! I quite forgot that I had dined already⁹.”

At this moment the other chicken was brought. When Newton was told everything, he began to laugh and then sat down to have dinner.
