III. TRANSLATE
Unit 5. Food and entertaining
Variant A
Прежде чем вы сделаете заказ в ресторане для вашего делового партнёра,
вы должны подумать о его вкусах в еде. Некоторые люди любят только нацио-
45
нальную кухню. Например, в восточной кухне много морепродуктов и рыбы,
таких как креветки, тунец, лосось. На юге люди любят много специй.
Трапеза в ресторане обычно начинается с закуски. Затем едят основное
блюдо. Это обычно блюдо из разных видов мяса: говядины, свинины, курицы
или баранины. Мясо может быть, например, приготовленным на гриле или запечённым. Вместе с мясом подают овощи: картофель, капусту, морковь, горошек. На десерт посетители часто предпочитают много разных фруктов, например, виноград, персики, яблоки.
В конце трапезы официант приносит счёт. Если вам понравилось обслуживание, вы можете оставить чаевые.
Unit 5. Food and entertaining
Variant B
Сегодня люди делают бизнес не только в офисе. Когда вы приглашаете
делового партнёра, вы должны подумать, как вы будете его развлекать после
работы. Вы можете организовать экскурсию, чтобы осмотреть достопримечательности, сходить в театр или на спортивный матч.
Но чаще люди предпочитают отдыхать в ресторане. В каждом городе есть
много ресторанов, в которых много вкусной еды. Попросите кого-нибудь порекомендовать вам лучший. Не очень хорошая идея пригласить ваших гостей в
ресторан быстрого питания. Лучше пойти в ресторан, где есть меню на разные
вкусы. Например, некоторые люди являются вегетарианцами, они не едят никакого мяса, а предпочитают много овощей и фруктов.
Часто посетители хотят попробовать местную кухню. Везде существует
большой спрос на такие рестораны.
