A NOSY FRIEND
A: Where did you golast night, Paul? You didn’t answer my calls.
B: We went to that new Italian restaurant in Charing Cross.
A: How was it? I read that it was incredibly popular.
B: You can say that again! It was packed and very very noisy. You could see dozens of servers, but they were too busy to take our order.
A: What a pity! What was the food like?
B: It was nothing special, and the portions were tiny!
A: Most of the restaurants in the area are like that. What did you eat?
B: For a starter I ordered a tomato and green pepper salad, which tasted quite nice but wasn’t very fresh. For the main course, I chose a fillet steak, but it was tough and smelled bad. I didn’t have a pudding because I felt fulland I couldn’t eat anything else.
A: Goodness, it sounds terrible! Poor you! Who did you go with?
B: I went with a girl who you don’t know.
A: Where does she come from?
B: That’s none of your business. What are you smiling at?
A: I know who you went with. Your photo was on Facebook.
B: You’re impossible to talk to. I’m going home.
A: Okay. See you.

UN AMI CURIEUX
A : Où es-tu allé hier soir, Paul ? Tu n’as pas répondu à mes appels.
B : Nous sommes allés dans ce nouveau restaurant italien à Charing Cross.
A : Comment était-ce ? J’ai lu qu’il était incroyablement tendance.
B : Tu peux le dire ! Il était bondé et très très bruyant. Les serveurs étaient trop occupés pour prendre notre commande.
A : Quel dommage ! Comment était la nourriture ?
B : Rien d’extraordinaire et les portions étaient minuscules !
A : La plupart des restaurants du secteur sont comme ça. Qu’as-tu mangé ?
B : En entrée j’ai commandé une salade de tomates et poivrons verts, qui avait bon goût, mais qui n’était pas très fraiche. Pour le plat principal, j’ai choisi un filet de bœuf, mais il était dur et sentait mauvais. Je n’ai pas pris de dessert car je n’avais plus faim.
A : Mon Dieu, ça a l’air horrible ! Pauvre toi ! Avec qui y es-tu allé ?
B : J’y suis allé avec une fille que tu ne connais pas.
A : D’où vient-elle ?
B : Cela ne te regarde pas. Pourquoi souris-tu ?
A : Je sais avec qui tu y es allé. Votre photo était sur Facebook.
B : Il est impossible de te parler. Je rentre chez moi.
A : Ok. A plus.
