Staff: Hello, Gino's.
Jamie: Hi, I called earlier to book a table for four and I was wondering if I can make it for six instead?
Staff: Ah, what name was it?
Jamie: It's Jamie.
Staff: Table for four at half past seven. So you want to change it to 6 o'clock?
Jamie: No, sorry. Can I make it for six people?
Staff: Oh, I see. Sorry! That shouldn't be a problem. I can move you to a bigger table but it will be nearer the kitchen. Is that OK?
Jamie: No problem. Is it possible to change the time as well? Make it a little bit later?
Staff: Ah ... yeah, we can. Is eight OK for you?
Jamie: Perfect, thanks!
Staff: Lovely. See you tomorrow, then.
Jamie: Thanks! Bye!
Staff: Thanks. Ciao!
I really love Beniness cuisine....
I like home-style food, so I prefer small family restaurants with a special atmosphere and a cozy space.
I enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, and I like trying new dishes in a new place whenever I can.
I loved the tasks that given after the listening activity which is fun and enjoyable. It's feels like playing a game.
My favorite food is prawns .That have a tremendous taste. I feel a ravenously hunger when prawns are in front of me.
I love the Asian food specially Chinese food like noodles and sweet & sour chicken, I love Italian cuisine too, they have really good food, like pasta and pizza.
I like this task.
GOOD
I like taste different cuisines and today I ate the vietnames meal. It was a bahn mi - the bread with sause, grilled prawns, vegetables and cheese. It was very tasty for me and I really enjoied it. The drink was the hot sweet black tea.
Yesterday I ate the noodles with shrimps and vegetables.
Last month I was in crab restaurant and ate the lobster. To be honest the shrimps I like more.
Also I like the taste of India. Curry, masala tika chiken, palac panir and chees and garlic naan.
There are a lot of options around us and of course our choice will depends on the our wishes and conditions.
My favourite restaurants are Italian and Japanese because I love pizzas in Italian places and sashimi in Japanese ones.
I like traditional and local restaurants not fast food because in my opinion traditional food is more tasty.
