Ordering lunch and dinner: Dialogue 1:
| Waiter: | — | Are you ready to order, sir? |
| Mr Ryefield: | — | Yes. I'll have the beef stew for starters and my wife would like tomato soup. |
| Waiter: | — | One beef stew and one tomato soup. What would you like for the main course? |
| Mr Ryefield: | — | I'll have the Cayenne Pepper Steak and my wife would like the Fried Trout with mashed potatoes. |
| Waiter: | — | I'm afraid the trout is off. |
| Mrs Ryefield: | — | Oh dear. Err... What else do you recommend? |
| Waiter: | — | The sole is very good. |
| Mrs Ryefield: | — | OK. I'll have that. Do you have any coleslaw? |
| Waiter: | — | No, I'm sorry, we don't. |
| Mrs Ryefield: | — | Just give me a small mixed salad then. |
| Mr Ryefield: | — | Same for me. |
| Waiter: | — | Certainly. (...) Would you like something to drink? |
| Mr Ryefield: | — | Yes, please. May I see the wine list? |
| Waiter: | — | Certainly. Here you are. (...) |
| Mr Ryefield: | — | A bottle of Chablis ‘99, please. |
