Daily Life ‐ Ordering Chinese Food (C0291) 
Waitress: Hi, welcome to Happy Buddah! Can I get you
anything to drink?
Manny: A Coke for me, please.
Andrea: I’ll have a Sprite.
Waitress: Okay, I’ll go get that for you. Are there any
questions with the menu?
Andrea: Do you use MSG?
Waitress: No ma’am, we are MSG-free.
Andrea: Oh man, I haven’t had Chinese food in so long! I
want everything! This place has the BEST sesame chicken.
Manny: Yeah, I’ve been craving Chinese for such a long
time. I used to get take-out all the time. It’s definitely been
a while. Let’s start off with some crab rangoon.
Andrea: Ooh yeah, that sounds good. I think I’m going to
get the sesame chicken with fried rice, a spring roll, and
egg drop soup.
Manny: It’s so tempting to order everything on the menu,
it all looks so appetizing! I think I’ll get General Tso’s
chicken, hot and sour soup, fried wontons, and white rice.
Andrea: Aren’t you supposed to be on a diet? You should
at least get brown rice.
Manny: I don’t think so! I hate brown rice, and I’m so
sick of eating healthy all the time. I’ve been eating so
much salad I swear I’ve forgotten what meat tastes like!
There’s no better remedy than some nice, greasy,
calorieladen Chinese food. I might even get an order of
broccoli beef!
Andrea: Gosh, I’m so hungry! Let’s call the waitress
over!
