M: Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?
W: Sure. Have you got anywhere in mind?
M: I’m starving, so maybe we could go somewhere with large portions.
W: That Italian restaurant in the city centre always has large portions. Do you want to go there?
M: I’m not really in the mood for Italian, actually. I was thinking of something a bit spicy.
W: If you want spicy food, then I’d recommend going to a Thai, Indian or Chinese restaurant. How about that Chinese restaurant on Cowley Road?
M:(9)I really like that restaurant: you get a lot for your money there. But, they’ve westernized their food, so it’s not actually that spicy.
W: You’re right. Most of their dishes have sweet sauces.(10)We could try that Indian restaurant just down the road from us.
M:(10)The Taj? They’re a bit expensive, but they do serve large portions of very hot food.
W:(10)The Taj it is then.
M: Shall we bring our own bottle of wine to save some money?
W: They’ll still charge us for opening a wine bottle.
M: That’s right. It’ll probably work out to be about the same then anyway.
W: Don’t worry about money. I’ll treat you tonight.
M: Are you sure? We could go Dutch.
W: No,(11)I’ll pay. It’s my turn anyway. You paid last time.
M:(11)I won’t argue with that! Let’s go!
