AT THE RESTAURANT
Last week Roza
and her family went out to a restaurant for dinner. At the restaurant, Roza and
her family made a reservation for dinner. When they arrived, a waiter greeted
them and led them to their table, where a clean tablecloth and neatly folded
napkins were waiting.
Roza looked at
the menu. There were a lot of delicious dishes, beverages and desserts to
choose from and she finally decided to place an order. She chose a delicious
main course, a tasty side dish, and a cold beverage. Her brother wanted dessert
after his meal.
The chef in the
kitchen worked hard to prepare their food. The waitress brought their dishes to
the table with a smile. Everything was fresh and yummy!
After they
finished eating, Roza’s father paid the bill and left a tip for the waiter and
waitress to thank them for their good service. On their way out, they noticed a
buffet with many different foods. Roza thought it would be fun to try it next
time.
Roza and her family had a wonderful evening at the restaurant. They enjoyed tasty food and friendly service!
