Ще не впадають у вічі на кожному кроці піццерії, але піццу можна замовити й по телефону. Можна швидко розшукати бістро з гамбургерами та іншими бутербродами, а також кафе, пивний бар. Крім того, ви знайдете шинки, закусочні, забігайлівки, котрих ніде, крім ближнього зарубіжжя, немає.

Exercise 8

Translate the following passage into Ukrainian:

" I never eat more than one thing. I think people eat far too much nowadays. A little fish, perhaps. I wonder if they have any salmon." Well, it was early in the year for salmon and it was not on the menu-card, but I asked the waiter if there was any. ‘Yes, a beautiful salmon had just come in, it was the first they had’. I ordered it for my guest. The waiter asked if she would have something while it was being cooked. " No, " she answered, " I never eat more than one thing. Unless you have a little caviar. I never mind caviar." My heart sank a little. I knew I could not afford caviar, but I couldn't very well tell her that. I told the waiter by all means to bring caviar. For myself I chose the cheapest dish on the menu and that was a mutton chop.

(S. Maugham)

Exercise 9

Read the following dialogue and act out the conversation in the dining-hall.

In the dining-hall

- Let’s go to the dining-hall. We haven’t much time left, but we’ll manage it all right if you hurry. You take a place in the queue and I’ll see what can get for dinner.

- All right. What is on the menu?

- Cabbage soup with meat, chicken soup with noodles and pea soup.

- I don’t know whether I’ll have any. What have they got for seconds?

- Fried fish and mashed potatoes, beefsteak, bacon and eggs.

- And for dessert?

- A lot of things. We can have stewed fruit or cranberry jelly or strawberries and cream.

- Then, I’ll take cabbage soup with sour cream and… Well, and what about hors-d’oeuvre? We’ve completely forgotten about it.

- As we are in a hurry I believe we can do without it. I never thought you were a big eater.

- Neither did I. But I wouldn’t mind having something substantial now.

- So we’ll take one cucumber salad and one tomato salad. That’ll do for the time being. I think I can manage a bit of fish-jelly as well and then chicken soup with noodles. That’ll be fine.
