Conversation 1

Hank: This place is really nice, isn’t it?

Noemi: Yes, it’s lovely! I love the décor! Oh, and this wine is lovely too, isn’t it?

Hank: Yeah, it’s fantastic. The service is terrible, but the décor’s lovely! Would you like a breadstick?

Noemi: Oh, thanks.

Hank: So, what do you fancy? Apart from the fish, they do a really good steak here.

Noemi: Well, I’m trying to cut down on red meat at the moment.

Hank: Oh, yeah, of course. That’s a really good idea. What about something veggie?

Noemi: Hmm, well, let’s see. This couscous looks really nice.

Hank: Yeah, I’ve had that before it’s great.

Noemi: Or there’s an aubergine tart with onions and tomatoes.

Hank: Hmm, that sounds tasty! … Er, you know what? I might go for the chicken.

Noemi: Where’s that?

Hank: Here. Grilled chicken with sautéed potatoes and cabbage.

Noemi: Well, at least you’ve got a green vegetable with that, then!

Hank: Yeah, sure have! So, have you decided?

Noemi: Er, yeah, I think I’ll go for the couscous actually.

Hank: Do you fancy a starter?

Noemi: No, I’m OK. I’ll just have a main course.

Hank: OK, let’s call the waiter over so we can order.

Noemi: All right.

Hank: Excuse me! Can we order please?

Waiter: Yes, you certainly can. What would you like?
