W: I hope I’m not interrupting your work, Paul. You must be very busy at this time of the day. M: Not at all. Come in, Come in, Mrs. Finch. I’m just tasting a few of the dishes we’ll be serving this rooming. W: That looks interesting. What exactly is it M: That one is fish—in a special sauce. One of my new creations, actually. W: I’m looking forward to trying it.M: I do hope you’ve enjoyed your stay with us. W: Very much, indeed. We both find it very relaxing here. M: Well, I’m sure there’s lots more you’d like to ask, so, please go ahead. W: Thanks. I notice that you have a sort of team of helpers. How do you organize who does that Surely, it’s difficult with so many talented people M: Everyone contributes ideas, of course, and to a certain extant shares in the decision-making. We all have our different specialties and different ways of doing things, but that’s a great advantage in a place like this. If there is any disagreement, I have the final word. After all, I own the business and I’m the boss. But it happens rarely. I’m glad to say. W: Have you had them with you for long M: Net all of them, no. Alan’s been with me for about five years. I used to have a restaurant on the east coast. Then I got the offer to do a lecture tour of Australia and New Zealand, you know, with practical demonstrations, so I sold the business, and then Alan and I looked a- round for two young chefs to take with us. Tom and Martin have been working for me ever since. Chefs are not a problem, but I’m having a lot of trouble at the moment finding good, reliable domestic staff. W: How long did the tour last M: We were away for over two years in the end because more and more organizations wanted to see the show, and one thing led to another. W: Had you been considering this present venture for long M: For some time, yes. During the tour I began to think it might be interesting to combine the show idea with a permanent establishment, and so here we are. W: And what made you choose this particular sport M: Quite a few people have been surprised-you’re not the first. It does seem a bit out of the way, I know, but I didn’t want to start up in London. There’s far too much competition. Then I decided to go for a different type of client altogether-the sort of person who wants to get away from it all; who loves peace and quiet, and beautiful scenery but also appreciates good food. When I saw the farmhouse I couldn’t resist it. I was brought up not far from here so everything just fell into place. W: To go back to the food, Paul. Do you have a large selection of dishes to choose from or are you always looking for new ideas M: Both. A lot of the dishes had already been created on the tour, but I encourage my staff to experiment whenever possible. I mean I can’t keep serving the same dishes. The people who come here expect something unusual at every course, and some guests, I hope, will want to return. W: I know two who certainly will. M: It’s very kind of you to say so. Is there anything you’d like to know W: As a matter of fact, there is. Your grapefruit and ginger marmalade tasted delicious. Could you possibly give me the recipe M: It isn’t really my secret to give. It belongs to Alan, but I’m sure if you ask him he’ll be glad to oblige you — as long as you promise not to print it in your magazine. The owner, Paul, always has the final say when disagreement comes up.
W: That’s very exciting, of course, Mr. Jones. When did you see the UFO M: It was last Thursday. Much have been ten past six, give or take a minute or two, because I was just passing the post office after walking my dog. Every evening we take the same walk at the same time after retirement. W: Did you hear any noise M: Well, I did hear a faint buzzing noise. At first I though it was a plane. But it couldn’t possibly be, because it was Standing virtually still, and what’s more, it had no wings or engines or anything of that sort. W: But didn’t it move at all M: Yes, but it was when it suddenly rose up and streaked away up into the clouds with a mar and a rush of hot air. W: How big was it M: Oh, that’s something that struck me most. It was colossal. You know how small airliners look when they are in the air — they seem to be only a fraction of their real size. Well, this object looked about the size of a large airliner, even at that height. So if it were on the ground it would be enormous. W: Certainly, Mr. Jones. You’ve been flying for so many years. M: And can you imagine the engine power that would be needed to keep a thing that size in the air Incredible. Simply incredible. W: Certainly it is. Thank you, Mr. Jones. Today’s interview will appear on City Evening tomorrow. The man is ().
W: Hey! you got a new television. M: Yeah, it was delivered yesterday. What do you think of it W: It’s huge. It practically takes up the entire side of the room. M: I know, I know. You don’t think it’s well, excessive, do you W: I didn’t say that. I mean, if you enjoy it, why not What happened to your old TV anyhow M: It just stopped working last Friday. It was pretty old and didn’t work well. I thought I can afford it, why net get a new one W: It must have been expensive. M: Well, not as much as you might think. I got it on sale for 50% off. W: Really Where M: At the stero city on Route 20. You know, at first I just want to replace what I had, a TV of about the same size and quality, but the salesman was pushing this because of the 50% off. W: Yeah, but 50% of what. M: 2,400 dollars. W: You spent 1,200 dollars on a TV M: It’s got a lot of special features. Look at this remote control. W: I’m sure, but that’s still a lot of money for a television. I don’t think you watch TV that much. M: Well, I don’t. Do you think I ought to return it If I do within a week of purchase, I can get my money back. W: Honestily yes! And you know what I think you should read up on TVs first, choose the make and model you want before you go to the store. That way you’ll get what you want. M: I think you’re right. What will the man probably do as a result of the conversation()
