At the beer garden
English |
|
Man: | I'll get this round, what are you having? |
Woman: | I'll have a pint of Guinness please. I'll go and find seats. |
Man: | Two Guinness please! |
Waitress: | Pints or glasses? |
Man: | Two pints. |
Waitress: | That will be 6.80 please. |
Man: | Here you go, thanks. |
Man: | So, how long have you been in Ireland? |
Woman: | Two weeks, what about you? |
Man: | I arrived yesterday. What do you think so far? |
Woman: | It seems very nice, the weather is unpredictable and when it's raining I get a bit homesick. The smoking ban is a bit strange, having to go outside for a fag, especially when it's raining! But everyone chats to each other out there, so it's not so bad, it's a good way to meet people! |
Man: | Oh, well I don't smoke so it is o.k. for me. Are you going to the nightclub later? |
Woman: | I don't know. I have to ring my friends and see if they want to go. Have you ever heard about 'rounds?' |
Man: | Yeah, I've read that a round is where you take it in turns to buy a drink for the rest of the group and yourself. |
Woman: | What happens if you don't buy a round? |
Man: | I think it's very rude and not many people do that. If you don't want to be involved in a round, then say so at the beginning of the evening. |
Woman: | That's good to know! Thanks. |
