A: good afternoon. “ginger’s restaurant”. May I help you?
B: yes. I’d like to book a table for Friday evening please.
A: certainly. For how many people?
B; we’ll be eight or nine people. Could we book a private room?
A: I’ll just check. At what time on Friday evening?
B: about 7:30.
A: yes. That’s fine. We can book you a private room for up to ten people at
that time. Could you give me your name please?
B: my name is Jenkins. My phone number is 75397382. that’s confimp3ed then.
7:30 on Friday.
A: yes. Do you intend to order a la carte or will you be having our seafood
buffet?
B: oh, we’d like the buffet please. We’ve heard it’s very good.
Intemp3ediate
A; how did you enjoy your family party at “ginger’s”? I hear that they have
a lovely menu and buffet.
B: oh, it was great. We had seafood buffet. They do one every Friday. The
waiters and waitresses are very good. They are very attentive, but don’t hang
around the table.
A: I like the buffets they have, but if often order a la carte, because I
don’t feel extremely hungry. I like the wine list there too.
B: yes, so do I. they have wines from all over the world. There is a good
range of prices to suit every pocket. We ordered some Australian red wine, which
tasted delicious and wasn’t expensive.
A: some restaurants allow you to take your own wine and just charge you
corkage, but the don’t do that at “ginger’s”. what was included in the seafood
buffet?
B: they had almost every kind of seafood. There were oyster, shrimp,
prawns, crabs, and fish. I ate a lot of smoked salmon.
A: did they have lobster?
B: no, they didn’t. you could order it from the menu. I think that lobster
is too expensive to be included in the buffet.
A: yes, it probably is. I don’t like ordering oysters in restaurants. You
never know whether they are fresh.
B: I know. I didn’t eat any, but a few people in our group did and no one
got sick.
A: when you eat out, do you usually eat from the buffet?
B: not usually. I usually just order a main course and have a dessert if
I’m still hungry afterwards.
A: oh, you don’t usually have a starter?
B: no, I might have a soup if it’s a cold winter day |
