While listeningSample text“A Chinese dinner” • Mr Wilson was a London businessman. He had to travel all over the world. • Once he went to China on business. It was his first time there and he did not speak Chinese. In the evening he felt hungry and decided to go to a restaurant. Soon he found a small restaurant which he liked very much, because it was nice, with very clean table cloths and white napkins on the tables. • The waiter did not understand English and so Mr Wilson tried to show with his hands that he was hungry and wanted something to eat. • The waiter smiled, he understood. • After some time he brought him some soup. It was exellent. Fifteen minutes later he brought him a plate full of small pieces of meat. Mr Wilson found it very good but he did not know what he was eating. • He wanted to find out what kind of meat it was, “Perhaps, its goose or duck,” he thought. • Suddenly he had an idea: he took a piece of meat, showed it to the waiter and asked, “Quack, quack?” • The waiter smiled and answered, “Bow-wow.”
