UNIT 4: eating food

Lesson 1: Food

Hello, listeners! This is Gore May with another restaurant review!

I made a reservation at Prima Vera Restaurant as soon as I heard about it. I

was expecting Prima Vera to be a very special place, and I was looking forward
to eating there. I came on time for my 1 p.m. reservation, but I had to wait
forty-five minutes! The manager didn't even apologize. While I was waiting, I
looked at Prima Vera's menu. What prices! Strawberries and cream cost $15!
Finally, my table was ready, but it was dirty. The rolls weren't fresh, and the
grilled fish was cold. "Perhaps the desserts are better," I thought. I ordered a
slice of chocolate nut cake. While I was eating it, I broke a tooth! I found a
small stone in the cake! I complained to the waiter, and phoned my insurance
company.

Listeners, don't go to Prima Vera Restaurant! Eat at home. I promise you that
you'll enjoy it a lot more!

Hola, oyentes! ¡Este es Gore May con otra crítica de restaurante!

Hice una reserva en el restaurante Prima Vera tan pronto como me enteré.
Esperaba que Prima Vera fuera un lugar muy especial, y estaba deseando
comer allí. Llegué a tiempo para mi 1 p.m. Reserva, pero tuve que esperar
cuarenta y cinco minutos! El gerente ni siquiera se disculpó. Mientras esperaba,
miré el menú de Prima Vera. ¡Qué precios! Las fresas y la crema cuestan $ 15!
Finalmente, mi mesa estaba lista, pero estaba sucia. Los rollos no estaban
frescos, y el pescado a la parrilla estaba frío. "Quizás los postres son mejores",
pensé. Pedí una rebanada de pastel de chocolate y nueces. Mientras lo comía,
me rompí un diente! ¡Encontré una pequeña piedra en el pastel! Me quejé al
camarero y llamé a mi compañía de seguros.

Oyentes, ¡no vayan al restaurante Prima Vera! Comer en casa. ¡Te prometo que
lo disfrutarás mucho más!

Which of these sentences is not true?

"Gore May" ate strawberries and cream.

"Gore May" was given rolls that were old

"Gore May" had fish that was cold.

-He knew it was going to be bad.

-He thought it was going to be very good.

The Party

After a long, busy day at work, Jason was finally going home. He was tired. He
wasn't thinking about anything special.

"Perhaps I should go into the supermarket in our neighborhood, and pick up a

couple of pounds of strawberries," Jason thought.

While Jason was driving to the store, his phone rang. It was his wife, Jenny.

"Jason, where are you? Last night you promised to come home early to help me
prepare the food and decorate the house. You know that we're having a party
tonight."

"Oh, no!" Jason said. "I had so much work today that I forgot about the party."

"I know it's always a good idea to remind you to come home early, even when
you promise," said Jenny. "However, this time I expected you to remember."

At first, Jason didn't understand what Jenny was talking about, but then he
remembered: Jenny was having a party for him that night. It was his fiftieth
birthday!
