Пора обедать. Что у вас сегодня на обед? – На первое – щи, котлеты и пюре на второе, компот – на десерт.
Ты просматриваешь меню уже 10 минут. Пора сделать заказ. Ты нашел себе что-нибудь по вкусу? – Я ничего не могу найти по вкусу в меню. – Неужели? Посмотри, сегодня в меню столько хороших блюд: салат из огурцов и помидоров, ветчина, сосиски, апельсиновый сок…
Давай возьмем на первое бульон. – Мне не хочется супа сегодня. Я лучше возьму яблочный сок.
Съешь ещё каши. – Мне не нравится каша. Она слишком соленая.
Мне бы хотелось еще чашку кофе. – Пожалуйста. Какой кофе Вы любите, с молоком?
Я, пожалуй, возьму комплексный обед. Это дешевле и быстрее.
Я вижу, Вы сладкоежка. – Да, я очень люблю конфеты.
В кафе был большой выбор разных напитков, но мы заказали томатный сок.
Что бы ты заказал на второе? – Котлеты с макаронами. – А я макаронам предпочитаю картофель или другие овощи, поэтому я возьму жареную курицу и пюре.
Вы пробовали суп? – Да, в нем не хватает соли.
Разве тебе не нравится бифштекс? – Почему, он очень вкусный, нежный.
Если Вы хотите хорошо поесть, закажите отбивную, жареный картофель, горошек. Я думаю, Вам понравится это блюдо.
Вы поужинали? – Да, мы только что поужинали. Салат был очень вкусный.
Не пора ли пойти пообедать? Я голоден, как волк. Прямо за углом есть хорошее кафе. Ты не возражаешь, если мы пойдем туда? – Конечно, нет.
15. Что у них сегодня в меню? – Выбор, как всегда, очень большой. На первое можно взять рыбный суп, щи, грибной суп, свекольник. Пожалуй, свекольник как раз то, что надо в такую жару. Да, ты прав. А что есть на второе? – Котлеты, бифштекс, цыпленок, тушеное мясо с овощами, отварная рыба. – Я закажу тушеное мясо, а ты? – Я тоже. Официант, примите заказ: два свекольника, две порции тушеного мяса и два компота.
16. Передайте мне, пожалуйста, хлеб. – Черный или белый? – Черный. А где соль и перец? – Они на столе на кухне.
Передайте мне, пожалуйста, соль. – Вот, пожалуйста.
Что вы будете заказывать из напитков? – Ничего. Пожалуй, только грейпфрутовый сок.
Мне, пожалуйста, чашку крепкого черного кофе.
Я не получил никакого удовольствия от обеда, так как суп был водянистый, заливная рыба безвкусная, а мясо пережаренное.
