　　【Intermediate】step2: 中级进阶

A: How did you enjoy your family party at “Ginger’s”? I hear that they have a lovely menu and buffet.

B: Oh, it was great. We had the seafood buffet. They do one every Friday. The waiters and waitresses are very good. They are very attentive, but don’t hang around the table.

A: I like the buffets they have, but I often order a la carte, because I don’t feel extremely hungry. I like the wine list there too.

B: Yes, so do I. they have wines from all over the world. There is a good range of prices to suit every pocket. We ordered some Australian red wine, which tasted delicious and wasn’t very expensive.

A: Some restaurants allow you to take your own wine and just charge you corkage, but they don’t do that at “Ginger’s”. What was included in the seafood buffet?

B: They had almost every kind of seafood. There were oysters, shrimp, prawns, crabs, and fish. I ate a lot of smoked salmon.

A: Did they have lobster?

B: No, they didn’t. you could order it from the menu. I think that lobster is too expensive to be included in the bufffet.

A: Yes, it probably is. I don’t like ordering oysters in restaurants. You never know whether they are fresh.

B: I know. I didn’t eat any, but a few people in our group did and no one got sick.

A: When you eat out, do you usually eat from the buffet?

B: Not usually. I usually just order a main course and have a dessert if I’m still hungry afterwards.

A: Oh, you don’t usually have a starter?

B: No, I might have a soup if it’s a cold winter day.
