A Sad Story

An English tourist, who was staying at a hotel in Paris came to the hotel restaurant to have dinner. He could not speak French, but he did not want to show it to people. He sat down at a table. When the waiter came up to his table, the Englishman took the menu-card and pointed to the first line. The waiter nodded and walked away. Very soon he returned and put a plate of mushroom soup on the table. The Englishman was very pleased with himself. He ate the soup and, when the waiter came up to the table again, pointed to the fifth line on the menu-card. The waiter looked a little surprised, but did not say a word. He walked away and soon returned, bringing the Englishman a plate of fish soup. The Englishman did not want to show the waiter that he did not know French, so he ate the fish soup. Then he pointed to a line in the middle of the menu-card, hoping that he would get some second course at last. This time the waiter brought him a plate of chicken broth. In despair, the Englishman pointed to the last line on the menu-card. And the waiter brought him a package of tooth-picks!

SPEAKING PRACTICE

Section I.

1. Read the dialogue:
Arthur and his chief engineer, Don Anderson, went to a small town near Manchester last week. They went on business and they had to stay the night in a small hotel. They had to eat in the hotel, too.

Don: Arthur: Waiter: Arthur: Don: Arthur: Waiter: Arthur: Waiter: Arthur: Waiter: Arthur: Waiter: Arthur: Waiter: Arthur: Waiter: Arthur: Waiter: Can't we eat somewhere else, Arthur? Very few hotels like this serve good food. I know, but there isn't anywhere else in this town. Besides, the waiter's coming over for our order now. Good evening. Would you like to order now? I can recommend the roast beef. It's very good. No, I'm afraid I don't like roast beef. Let me see... What else have you got on your menu? You order first, Don. All right. Roast beef for me, please. But I don't want any potatoes. I'm trying to lose some weight. I think I'd like some fish. Yes, some Scotch salmon, please. Er... I'm afraid we haven't got any salmon this evening, sir. The roast beefs really very good indeed, sir. No. If I can't have any salmon, I'd like some trout. I'm terribly sorry, sir, but I'm afraid we... er... You mean you haven't got any trout, either! No, sir. I'm afraid not, sir. Well... hmm... I suppose you have some Dover sole? Dover sole? Did you say Dover sole, sir? Yes, that's right, I'd like some Dover sole with some... There's very little good Dover sole on the market at this time of the year, sir. Our roast beefs much better! I'm sure it is, but I don't like roast beef. I'd still like... Try the roast beef, sir. Why? I don't like roast beef! I never eat roast beef! In fact, I hate roast beef! Well... I'm afraid we haven't got anything else, sir.
