I had a really bad dream last night.
A nightmare?  About what?
About… you…
Are you mad at me? What happened?
No, but I don’t want to scare you…
Tell me!

Wendy, I dreamed about you again…
Oh! Was it good or bad?
Good. You met a man in a blue suit and you were talking with him secretly.
I’m married! I wouldn’t do that.
Listen! My book about dreams says it means victory or opportunity.
Well, you were right one… But I love John and John along! (after a while)
Wendy, the man in the dream may just be a symbol.
I hope so.  How do you remember all these dreams?
I kept a dream diary.  I write them down every morning.
That helps you remember?
It helps to think about dreaming before you sleep.
It sounds too easy.
After having a good night’s sleep, you may write down what you are thinking when you wake up. It takes practice.

Oh Beth, I have news for you!
I have to tell you my dream first.
Go ahead.
I was in a dark green forest, all alone, smelling the trees…
Hmmm…maybe you need to go camping…
Funny.  The books says that green means self-awareness and forests symbolizes tranquility.
I think you are realizing your destiny.
  
What?
You have a talent for knowing things before they happen. You should become a psychic.
I was right only one time.
No, two times.  Remember the man in the blue suit dream?
Yes, victory or opportunity…
I just found out that I beat 300 applicants for the job that I wanted!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Not at all.

Thank you.

What kind of salad…?
I’ll have the tossed green salad.
What kind of dressing do you want?
I’ll have French dressing.
Anything else?
Nothing else.  Thank you.
You’re welcome.  How about you, Miss?
I’ll take shrimps and green peas.
And what about you, Miss?
Nothing else.  Thank you.
I’ll try today’s special.
I am sure you will like it.
I am sure.  Let’s see what is included in this special.
Hope it tastes good.
I think it does.
Is that all?
Yes, that’s all, thank you.
You are welcome.

Good evening, are you ready to order now?
Yes, I believe we are.
Could I get you anything from the bar this evening?
For myself I’d like a glass of red wine, please.
Could I have an ice tea, please?
Certainly.  Now, for your meals, may I suggest our special this evening?  Lamp chop with mint sauce on the side, and with every main course you have the choice between both rice, potatoes or French fries, and Caesar or garden salad.
Actually, I’m thinking I might try your lasagna.  Do you make it with a variety of Italian cheeses?
Yes, we do.  Lasagna is the most flavoured.  What would you like on the side, madam?
French fries and Caesar salad would be great, thank you.
I’ll have the house special, with potatoes and garden salad.
Thank you.

May I have your order now?
We’d have your regular dinner.  What courses are there, please?
The courses for our regular dinner are: appetizer, soup, salad, choice of the main course, dessert, coffee.
All right.  We will have it.
Today’s mutton chop is very good.  Would you like to have it as the main course?
That’s a good idea.  And as for dessert, we’ll have apple pie.  We’d like to have some coffee afterwards.
Good, here’s your appetizers.  Your dinner will be ready in five minutes.

What shall we have, Tom?
Shall we have some roast beef this time?
It is better rare or medium rare.
Well, I’m not used to having it rare.
All right, you can have it well done if you wish.
Well done, then.

So, Simon, what do you think of the food?
Oh, it’s great.  With $250 per person, we can have Chinese, Japanese, Italian and French food.  It’s an incredible deal.  I wonder if they can really make money out of this.
Sure, they can.  You see, everything is taken into account.  They figure a person’s stomach can only handle this much, even when it’s empty.
That’s true.  We’ll never get our money’s worth, no matter how hungry we are.
Except you only pick the expensive variety.
For example?
For example, seafood, like scallops, prawns, oysters and so on.
But again one can not only consume that much of seafood.  Too much of it can cause allergic reaction.
You’re right.  Oh well, let’s just enjoy the variety and take it slowly.

A table for how many, sir?
Four.  We’d like a table by the air-conditioner.
This way, please.
(After they are seated.)
Would you like to order now?
Just a minute.  Let me take a look at the menu first.  (He reads.)  What’s your specialty today?
Fish and pickle soup.
Is it spicy?
A little.  There is black pepper in it.
That’s OK, as long as there is no chili in it.
Why, you don’t like chili?  Without chili nothing has much taste.
Come on, not everyone is from Sichuan.  Let’s have that fish soup.  What about eggplant and pork in brown sauce?  
OK.
And fresh water shrimp?
OK.
How would you like shrimp?   Cooked in tomato sauce or scalded in clear water?
Scalded.  This’s the best way to preserve their freshness, and we can dip them in soy sauce and vinegar.
OK.  (To waitress)  Could you recommend one more dish for us?
Why don’t you have a chafing dish?  It’s just in the season.  You have a choice of mutton or beef.
That’s a good suggestion.  Mutton, then.
Anything to drink?
Pepsi, please.
Pepsi is for girls.  Let’s have two jars of beer.
Yes, beer.
An appetizer to go with the beer?
No.  That’s all we need.
(After the meal)
The bill, please.
Let’s go Dutch.
All right.
Hi, Henry.  What a surprise to see you here!
Oh, this isn’t my first time.
Why aren’t you eating at the guest house?
I came all the way here to study Chinese, and I really want to live like a Chinese, not kept pent up in a foreign guest house.
Can you manage chopsticks?
Why not?  See.  (He shows off his skill)
Good mastery.  How do you like our Chinese food?
Oh, great!  It’s delicious.  You see, I’m already putting on weight.  There is one thing I don’t like however, MSG.
What’s wrong with MSG?  It helps to bring out the taste of the food.
According to some studies it may cause cancer.
Oh, don’t let that worry you.  If that were true, China wouldn’t have such a large population.
I just happen to have a question for you.  Why do the Chinese cook the vegetables?  You see what I mean, most vitamins are destroyed when heated.
I don’t know exactly.  It’s a tradition, maybe it’s for sanitary reason.
I think people have come to realize the point.  So nowadays people just give it a quick stir over a strong fire to shorten the cooking time.  This may better preserve the vitamins and other nutritious elements.
That reminds me of something.  Have you heard that some American families are reluctant to rent rooms to Chinese students?
No, why not?
It’s simply because Chinese cooking makes the kitchen oily.  Chinese cooking is well known for stir-frying and deep-frying, and the cooking oil splatters all over the place and sticks onto everything.
Yeah, that’s true.  At home we equipped powerful ventilator in the kitchen, and very soon the ventilator itself is dripping with oil.  My mom hates the grease, but she doesn’t have any alternative.
Maybe we’ll have to change to western food and bake things instead of frying them in oil.
Oh, you’re kidding.  If that were the case, what a great loss for the world.

Henry, what’s happened to your appetite?  You eat as little as the girls.
Me?  For lunch I just take a little, dinner is my big meal.  Which is your main meal?
Lunch and the dinner are almost the same to me.  How about you Xiao Qian?
Well, I prefer to have rice and steamed bread at lunch, and stuffed buns with porridge for dinner.
Yeah.  At home lunch seems to be the main meal.  In the evening we are used to having MANTOU and porridge with leftover dishes from lunch.
To most people in the United States who have a job, dinner is the main meal, because there is only one-hour lunch break.  In that case they only have time to grab some fast food.  A working day usually ends at 5 o’clock, and then they have time to prepare something more elaborate for the whole family.
Do American colleges have dinner halls like ours?
Yeah, sort of, but not exactly the same.  In most cases I think we call them cafeterias.  You get a tray and go along the food counter.  You can choose what you like, and you pay a cashier at the end of the line.  
What about you usually have?
Let me tell you.  We don’t have such a variety of foods as you have here.  It’s almost the same all the year round.  A typical lunch may consist of a burger or sandwich, a vegetable or fruit salad, a dessert, and a coke or coffee.
One would certainly lose his appetite if he ate the same thing day after day.
It’s not that bad.  There are many small restaurants near campus.  You can go to a Pizza Hut or an Italian restaurant for a change.
How many dishes do you have for dinner?
We don’t call them “dishes”.  We call them “courses”.  We would start with soup, and then fish or meat, followed by a salad, and last dessert and coffee.
The dessert sounds most appealing to me.
You must have a sweet tooth, but look out, that’s were the calories are.
I don’t care much about the calories.
Too much calories can make us uncomfortable at night.
I just know sweet foods can help me become happier.
Yes, sweet foods can help that.
So I like them.
Maybe I’ll have a try.
OK!
