Business English for Beginners · Chapter 5: At the restaurant

An invitation to your favorite restaurant

To the next lesson

The sentence for saying goodbye: I’ll take you out to my favorite restaurant the next time you’re in Austria.

After the meal you hurry to a counter where a young man is standing. He is clumsy today, cries “ouch” because he spilled tea over his hand, and puts a cloth over it with a lily of the valley on it (I’ll take you out to my).

He explains that he is so scatter-brained because there was a party yesterday – a whale actually rode right through the restaurant (favorite restaurant). He was sitting in an armchair, everybody teased him, and someone even gave him a tea with a little mouse swimming in it (the next time).

Then he had to fight a judo match wearing a suit of armour with an insect buzzing around inside (you’re in); the helmet was round like an O, and through one narrow slit he could see the others (Austria).
