Slick: – It is! Do you know what you want to order?
Ivy: – I’m not sure, everything looks so good. Do you have any recommendations?

Ivy: – That sounds good but I am in the mood for seafood.
Slick: – In that case, they have a delicious lobster.
Ivy: – Perfect! I will have the lobster.
Slick: – You won’t regret it! And for dessert you should have their Tiramisu.

Диалог во время обеда.
Slick – Следуй за мной, пожалуйста. Я предлагаю занять столик у окна.
Ты уже бывала в этом ресторане?
Ivy – Нет, впервые, но я надеюсь на твой отзыв о том, что сдесь еда необыкновенная!
Slick – Это так! Ты знаешь, что хочешь заказать?
Ivy – Я не уверена, все выглядит так хорошо. У тебя есть какие-нибудь рекомендации?
Slick – Я всегда заказываю их превосходные ребрышки с картофельным пюре и бокалом красного вина.
Ivy – Звучит неплохо, но я настроена на морепродукты.
Slick – В таком случае у них есть вкусный лобстер.
Ivy – Отлично! Я закажу лобстера.
Slick – Ты не пожалеешь! А на десерт тебе следует взять Тирамису.
Ivy – Объедение! Я люблю Тирамису. Я так возбудилась, чтобы поесть!
Парочка мило беседовала, с удовольствием поедая деликатесы.
Трапеза закончилась. Парень подозвал официанта.
Slick – Извините, официант! Можно мне счет, пожалуйста?
Waiter: – Я сейчас его вам принесу. Вот, возьмите.
Slick – Могу я оплатить картой?
Waiter: – Прошу прощения, мы не принимаем карты в данный момент. Только наличные.
Slick – Айви, что вы думаете об этой ситуации? Они не принимают платежи по картам.
Одолжите мне сто фунтов, пожалуйста.
Slick – Официант. Вот. Сдачу оставьте себе.
Slick – Айви, я заказал для тебя такси, чтобы ты безопасно добралась домой.
Я прощаюсь с тобой, пока-пока.
Ivy – Какой обходительный и заботливый молодой человек.
А мы даже не обменялись телефонами…
