Last weekend Maria and her friend Karen decided to have to have a meal at their favorite restaurant. They thought it would make a nice change to eat out instead of making dinner at home. They booked a table for about eight o'clock. When they arrived,a waiter took them to their table. He gave them a menu to look at and asked them if they would like a drink. A little later, he came back with a drink they ordered and asked if they were ready to order. They both chose soup for their appetizer. For the main course Maria had steak and Karen had chicken. When they had finished, a waitress came to their table. She asked them if they would like a dessert. They were too full, so they just had coffee and asked for the bill. They thought the meal was really good and were very happy with their evening out, so they left a large tip for the waiter and waitress.
