What about Dining Out?

Peter: Hi, Kate.

Kate: Hi, Peter. How have you been?

Peter: Oh, OK, I guess. And you?

Kate: Not too bad. We haven't seen each other for a while, have we?

Peter: No, we haven't. So that makes me ask... Do you have any plans for this Saturday?

Kate: No, not yet, I don't think so. Why?

Peter: What do you think about getting together and going out to dinner this weekend?

Kate: That would be great. Do you have any particular place in mind?

Peter: Well, I think I'd like to eat something that's not too heavy. I've been eating a little too much lately.

Kate: Me too.

Peter: I love Italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. They always seem to serve so much food in Italian restaurants, and you end up eating more than you wanted to.

Kate: Chinese food would be good.

Peter: Yes, or maybe some Japanese sushi. That style uses a lot of natural flavors, and not much oil or cream or heavy sauces. Kate: Yes, either of those choices would be good. Let's just meet on Saturday night, and decide then where to eat.

好

Peter: That's fine by me.
