[00:04.18]3 Restaurants

[00:10.34]Are you hungry? Yes,a bit.

[00:15.07]Do you want to get something to Eat,then/

[00:19.15]Yes, OK.Have you got anywhere in mind?

[00:24.50]Well,there's a really nice plzza place just round the corner.

[00:30.85]Well,actually,I went for a Plzza last night.

[00:36.02]I don't really feel like another one.Do you know anywhere else?

[00:42.08]Well,there's a really nice thal place in soho.

[00:47.83]Right.Is it very splcy?I don't really like very hot food.

[00:55.88]No,it's not too bad.They've got lots of dishes to choose from.

[01:02.33]Honestly it's really nice food.

[01:06.87]I'm sure you'll like it.

[01:10.24]OK then,I'll try anything once.

[01:14.68]Shall 1 we walk or do you want to get the bus?

[01:19.83]I don't mind.It's up to you.

[01:23.88]Hi Hans,

[01:32.53]I just thought I'd send you a quick e-mail to let you know how I'm getting on.

[01:39.37]I'm studying at the scholl you told me about-the Oxbridge Centre.

[01:47.23]It's really nice and the teachers are very friendly.

[01:53.29]Most of the students are much younger than me,so we don't have much to talk about.

[02:01.44]Luckily though,there's a very nice Russian student in my class called Martina,

[02:11.47]who's about my age.

[02:15.31]A few days ago we went to Michelangelo's-that Italian place you told me about.

[02:24.25]Unfortunately,it was a disaster 2 from start to finish.

[02:32.29]When we got there,there was a huge queue 3.

[02:38.54]We had to wait half an hour for a table.

[02:44.41]Then we had to wait for ages for our food,

[02:49.87]and when it finally came,the waiter had mixed up our order!

[02:56.54]He brought me fish instead of chicken!

[03:01.68]Martina had ordered pasta,but she got a pizza!Unbelievable 4!

[03:10.51]By that time though,we were both so hungry that we decided 5 not to complain!

[03:18.69]Unfortunately,

[03:22.21]my fish was cold and Martina's pizza just didn't really taste of anything.

[03:31.15]It was horrible 6!

[03:34.67]When they brought us the bill,

[03:39.53]they'd charged 8 us for a bottle of wine we hadn't even ordered!

[03:45.59]When we complained about it,the manager didn't even apologise 9!

[03:52.15]He just said it was Saturday night and they were very busy.

[03:58.52]It wasn't very cheap either.

[04:03.07]It cost us abot 25 each and that ws without the service charge 7.

[04:12.21]When I got up to leave,I spilt 10 some coke all over Martina's dress.

[04:19.66]She wasn't very impressed,I can tell you!

[04:26.50]I rang her yesterday to see if she wanted to go out with me again,

[04:34.08]but she wasn't interested.

[04:38.33]What do you think I should do?

[04:44.29]Anyway,I hope you're well.See you soon.

[04:52.23]All the best         Enrico

[04:58.08]4  While you listen

[05:05.74]Good evening,sir.

[05:09.58]Hi,We'd like a table for two,please.

[05:14.83]Have you booked?No,I'm afraid we haven't.Are you very busy?

[05:21.49]Could you just wait one moment and I'll see what's available 11?

[05:27.76]Yes sir,we've got a table but it has been booked from half nine.

[05:33.82]I don't think we'd want to stay later than that.What's the time now?

[05:39.57]It's not quite seven o'clock.

[05:43.54]That'd be enough time then,wouldn't it?Yes,fine.

[05:47.79]Would you like to follow me? Here's the menu.Can I get you something to drink?

[05:55.16]What do you want to drink? Wine?Beer?

[05:58.92]Um,I'm not sure.Could you just give us a moment,please?

[06:04.38]Of course.Wow!What a choice!Can you recommend 12 anything?

[06:10.76]It's all nice really,

[06:14.41]but when I've been before we've usually just ordered one of the set menus here.

[06:20.47]They bring you lots of different dishes and then we can just share them.

[06:25.83]That sounds all right.Which one shall we get?

[06:30.27]I don't mind.It's up to you.

[06:33.82]OK.Well,how about menu D?

[06:39.28]I quite like the sound of the  coconut 13 soup and the beef dish.

[06:44.53]OK.Fine.Do you know what lychees are?

[06:50.17]Oh,they're a kind of fruit.They're really nice and sweet.

[06:55.53]Are you happy having wine?

[06:58.87]Yes.Red or white?I prefer red,myself.

[07:04.23]OK.Shall we just get a bottle of the house red,then?

[07:09.27]Yes.Can you catch the waiter's eye?

[07:13.40]Yes,sir.Are you ready to order?

[07:18.36]Yes,we'd like the set menu D,please.

[07:23.69]I'm afraid you need a minimum 14 of three people for that menu.

[07:29.75]Oh right,right.

[07:33.41]You can either have this one,or there's a vegetarian 15 option,menu E.

[07:40.88]What do you think?I don't really want the vegetarian one,myself.

[07:46.34]No-me neither.So Menu A,then? Yes,please.

[07:52.29]And to drink?

[07:55.35]Could we have a bottle of the house red? House red.

[08:00.81]Yes,and could we have some water as well,please?

[08:06.06]Still or sparkling 16?

[08:09.53]Sparkling,if that's OK with you,Kenny.

[08:13.90]Yes,fine.

[08:16.77]I'm sorry about that.Whenever I've come before there's been a group of us.

[08:23.01]I didn't realise 17 you had to have a certain number of people to order that menu.

[08:28.58]That's OK.Don't worry about it.

[08:32.52]7  Sorry,but I didn't order this
