Let's go to dinner!
| (Situation One: Mr. Hawk comes to the hotel to invite his business associates, Mr. White and his colleagues, to a dinner party.) | |
| Mr. Hawk: | Good morning, Mr. White. How is your room? |
| Mr. White: | Very comfortable and quiet. We're all very happy with the facilities and services here. |
| Mr. Hawk: | I'm glad to hear that. Now, I'm here just to tell you that we'll be having a dinner party tomorrow evening. We'd like to invite you all to come. |
| Mr. White: | Oh, how nice of you! We'd be delighted to come. |
| Mr. Hawk: | Here's the invitation. |
| Mr. White: | Thank you. |
| Mr. Hawk: | Then I'll send somebody to pick you up from the hotel lobby at six tomorrow evening. Is that all right? |
| Mr. White: | Yes. That's fine. Thank you. |
| Mr. Hawk: | See you then. |
| Mr. White: | See you. |
| (Situation Two: Next evening, at the restaurant. Mr. White and his two colleagues enter the restaurant. Mr. Hawk sees them and greets them.) | |
| Mr. Hawk: | Welcome, everybody! Mr. White, I'm glad you've come. |
| Mr. White: | It's very kind of you to have invited us. |
| Mr. Hawk: | Please sit down. I hope the food we've ordered will be to your liking. |
| Mr. White: | Thank you very much for such a splendid dinner. (They sit down and begin to have dinner.) |
| Mr. Hawk: | Please help yourself, everybody. |
| Mr. White & his colleagues: |
Thank you. It certainly looks delicious. |
| Mr. Hawk: | Mr. White, you'll be leaving soon. Has your trip to this fair been fruitful? |
| Mr. White: | Yes, there's a really wide range of goods on display and most prices are acceptable. |
| Mr. Hawk: | Have you found anything that particularly interests you? |
| Mr. White: | Yes, we're interested in your items A6D and A6F. The designs are original. I'm sure they'll be quite popular with young customers in our country. |
| Mr. Hawk: | Yes, you're right. Items A6D and A6F are our latest designs. They're also very popular with young consumers here. I'm sure they'll sell well in your market, too. Mr. White: We hope so! |
| Mr. Hawk: | All right, gentlemen, may I propose a toast to our continued friendly cooperation? |
| Mr. White: | I couldn't agree more. Cheers! (All are raising their glasses.) |
