C:Very good.Thank you.

W:Would you like any hors-d'oeuvre or soup?

C:No,I'll take some green salad with my roast beef.And French bread.

W:Yes,ma'am.Just a moment,please.

C:Oh,trolley service!Fine.

W:how would you like your beef cut?

C:I would like to have it medium.

W:Medium.Certainly,ma'am?

C:All right.Very good,thank you.

C:This beef is very tender.I live in London.In London,there are very good restaurants specializing in roast beef.

W:Yes,I have heard of it.I've never been to England.But several years ago,I went to America.And I remember that I had very good roast beef in Los Angeles.

C:Do you remember the name of the restaurant?

W:Yes,I do.Lawry's.

C:Yes,that's right.I have been there once.Very good restaurant.

W:Yes,very good.I went to the restaurant by myself at night.At the entrance,I said to the manger that I came from Japan.The manager gave me a good seat.

As soon as a waitress showed me the menu,the manager put the small Japanese flag on my table-the rising flag.I was surprised.

C:Is that right?

W:Your roast beef is ready.Enjoy our roast beef,please.

C:Thank you.

W:Just a moment,please.I'll be back.I've to take care of another customer.One moment,please.

C:Yes,I'll wait.Thank you.

W:How do you find our roast beef,ma'am?

C:Hurm,very good.It's very good as well as I have ever had in London.

W:Thank you,ma'am.I'm very glad to hear it.

W:Well,I will tell you about the Lawry's in Los Angeles again.A gracious waitress spins the bowl of coud,crisp greens on a bed of crushed ice

and seasons it with a flourish-salt and pepper,and she dramatically pours French dressing from high over the mixing bow,tosses and dishes up the salad on chilled plate.

Then a gleaming stainless steel cart appears at my table and the chef-carver rolls back the lid to display three beautiful sevenbone prime ribs.

It was very fine service at Lawry's at that time.Still I remember.

C:You were very happy,I think.Thank you for telling me a very interesting story during your stay in America.

W:Thank you,ma'am.

W:May I clear your table?

C:Yes,please.

W:How long are you going to stay in Taiwan?

W:Yes,ma'am.

W:Would you take any fruit or cake?

C:No,thank you.I'm full now.I've had very good roast beef tonight.Thank you.

W:Thank you.I will serve milk tea right now,ma'am.

C:Thank you.

W:Here is your bill,ma'am.
