TEXT

Waiter: Good evening.

Steve: Good evening. I have a table booked for two under the name of Reeds.

Waiter: Yes, sir. Would you like to come this way? Can I take your coat, madam?

Clare: Thank you.

Waiter: Would you like this table by the window?

Steve: That will be fine, thanks.

Waiter: Would you like a drink before your meal?

Clare: Yes. A dry sherry, please.

Steve: Half of bitter for me. And could we see the menu?

Waiter: Certainly. Here it is.

Waiter: Are you ready to order?

Steve: Yes, I think so.

Waiter: What would you like for starters, madam?

Clare: I think I'll have a shrimp cocktail.

Steve: And a smoked salmon for me, please.

Waiter: Very good. And the main course?

Steve: Well, I can't decide between the steak and the chicken. What do you recommend? Waiter: Both are good, but if I were you I'd have the steak. It's the specialty of the house.

Steve: O.K. I'll have the steak. Medium rare, please.

Waiter: And for you, madam?

Clare: The chicken, I think.

Waiter: Fine, madam. What would you like your steak with, sir? Maybe some vegetables? Steve: Boiled potatoes and asparagus.

Clare: No asparagus for me. I'll have carrots and cauliflower. And do you have new potatoes?

Waiter: I'm very sorry, madam, but we've run out of new pota­toes. They've been very popular this evening.

Clare: Oh, dear... Well, I'll have fried potatoes then.

Waiter: Fine. Have you chosen your wine, sir?

Steve: Yes. We'll have a half bottle of white Bordeaux and then a bottle of St. Emilion.

Waiter: Certainly, sir. Will you want dessert?

Clare: Ice cream for me, please.

Steve: And I'd like some fresh pineapple.

Waiter: Will you have coffee to follow?

Steve: Coffee, Clare? Yes, two.
