I. At the restaurant

a) Listen to the dialogue and read the translation

Tourists come to the restaurant and ask for a table for two persons. The waiter offers a table near the window. The tourists ask if there is a menu in English, but there is only a menu in Russian. Tourists ask if it is allowed to smoke in the restaurant, and the waiter explains that they may smoke only on the terrace. Several minutes later, the tourist orders steak with fried potatoes, spaghetti carbonara, a bottle of red wine, one vanilla ice-cream, and chocolate mousse. They wait about 15 minutes for their order. After having lunch they order two coffees espresso and ask to bring the bill.
