DIALOGUE 1

BREAKFAST TIME

A.	What do you usually have for breakfast?
B.	Well, as a rule, I don’t feel hungry early in the morning, so I usually have a light breakfast: just a sandwich with cheese or sausage and a cup of strong tea with lemon. What about you?
A.	Oh, I am a hearty eater, and I always have a big breakfast. I begin with a plate of porridge, then I eat bacon and eggs, after which I have a cup of tea with a piece of cake or some cookies. I like my tea with a lot of sugar.

Waiter:	Hello. Here’s the menu. What will you order?
Sam:	Thank you. Rachel, what would you like?

AT THE RESTAURANT

Waiter:	How do you prefer the beefsteak, sir? Rare, medium-rare or well-done?
John:	Medium, I think.
Waiter:	O. K. What about you madam?
Lora:	What would you recommend for the first course?
Waiter:	Well, I should say that fish soup is the speciality of the house.
