Dialogue About Expressing Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction
Text 1
(At lunch time, Machiko and Roberto were hungry. They found a restaurant near the college. The menu looked very good. They chose a table at the salad bowl, sat down, and read the menu. Then they waited. They waited for a long time. At last the waiter comes.)
Waiter               :     Yes?
Machiko              :      I’d like salad fruit, please.
Waiter                 :      Cottage cheese, yoghurt, or sherbet?
Machiko              :       Er, yoghurt, please.
Waiter                 :       Anything else?
Machiko              :       Yes, I’ll have some bread and a glass of white wine.
Waiter                 :       (to Roberto) and you?
Roberto               :        The chef’s salad – large, with bread and red wine, please.
(After the waiter left)
Machiko               :        The waiter was unfriendly, wasn’t he?
Roberto                :        No, not unfriendly. He was rude.
(Michiko and Roberto waited more than ten minutes. Their food finally arrived.)
Roberto                :        Large? This is small salad.
Machiko               :        And this is sherbet instead of yoghurt.
Roberto                :         The bread is hard.
Machiko               :          It’s not fresh at all. It’s stale. I can’t eat it.
Roberto                :          And I can’t drink this wine chilled. It’s warm.
Machiko               :          Terrible. There’s no butter for the bread, either.
Roberto               :           Where’s the waiter?
Machiko               :           I don’t know. He’s probably gone to lunch at another restaurant.

Paul                     :         Have you read today’s newspaper?
James                  :         Not yet. Is it interesting?
Paul                     :         Yes, the apology from the company. Take a look. The paper is over there.
James                  :         Picking up the newspaper and starting to read it. Is that all?
Paul                     :         Yes.
James                  :        This is not enough. I’m not satisfied yet. The size of the ads should have   
                                        been half of the page. Besides, the company only apologized but they   
                                        didn’t mention what they would do.
Paul                     :     Oh, come on. The point is not the matter of the size, but the company
                                     sincere to apologize.
James                  :      Still it’s not satisfying.
Paul                    :       I think they have already shown their good will. It’s more than enough.
