3. Choose from the sentences (A-H) to complete the conversation. What did Alex order? Waiter: Good evening. What can I get you? Alex: 1)... Waiter: And as a main course? Alex: 2)... Waiter: Can I suggest the roast beef? It's very good. Alex: 3)... Waiter: Would you like chips or rice with that? Alex: 4)... Waiter: And would you like something to drink? Alex: 5)... Waiter: Would you like anything for dessert? Alex: 6)...

Reading Task 3: Completing the Conversation

Let's complete the conversation logically, considering common menu orders.

1. Alex: 1) 'A I think I'll have the spicy chicken.' (This is a common way to start an order for a main course.)
2. Alex: 2) 'C Rice, please.' (Responding to the main course suggestion, implying he doesn't want the roast beef but has already ordered chicken. Rice is a common side.)
3. Alex: 3) 'H Yes, thank you.' (Responding positively to the suggestion of roast beef, even though he previously ordered chicken. This indicates a slight confusion or a change of mind, but 'Yes, thank you' fits as a general positive response.)
4. Alex: 4) 'F For starters, I'll have a salad, please.' (Responding to the chips or rice question by choosing something else entirely, 'salad' for starters.)
5. Alex: 5) 'D A glass of mineral water, please.' (A common drink order.)
6. Alex: 6) 'B I'll have the chocolate cake, please. Thank you.' (A common dessert order.)

Summary of Alex's Order:

• Spicy chicken (main course, possibly)
• Rice (with main course)
• Salad (starter)
• Mineral water (drink)
• Chocolate cake (dessert)

Answer: Alex ordered spicy chicken, rice, salad, mineral water, and chocolate cake.
