Task 1. Read the dialogue and answer the questions.

Arthur and his chief engineer, Don Anderson, went to a small town near Manchester last week. They went on business and they had to stay the night in a small hotel. They had to eat in the hotel, too.

Don: Can't we eat somewhere else, Arthur? Very few hotels like this serve good food.

Arthur: I know, but there isn't anywhere else in this town. Besides, the waiter's coming over for our order now.

Waiter: Good evening. Would you like to order now? I can recommend the roast beef. It's very good.

Arthur: No, I'm afraid I don't like roast beef. Let me see... What else have you got on your menu? You order first, Don.

Don: All right. Roast beef for me, please. But I don't want any potatoes. I'm trying to lose some weight.

Arthur: I think I'd like some fish. Yes, some salmon, please.

Waiter: Er... I'm afraid we haven't got any salmon this evening, sir. The roast beef's really very good indeed, sir.

Arthur: No. If I can't have any salmon, I'd like some trout.

Waiter: I'm terribly sorry, sir, but I'm afraid we... er...

Arthur: You mean you haven't got any trout, either!

Waiter: No, sir. I'm afraid not, sir. But our roast beef is much better!

Arthur: I'm sure it is, but I don't like roast beef. I'd still like...

Waiter: Try the roast beef, sir.

Arthur: Why? I don't like roast beef! I never eat roast beef! In fact, I hate roast beef!

Waiter: Well... I'm afraid we haven't got anything else, sir.
