(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.   At last the waiter comes.)

Waiter        : What would you like to eat, Madam?

Machiko     : I’d like salad fruit, please.

Waiter        : What kind of dressing do you like?  We have French, Italian, and blue cheese.

Machiko     : Er, Blue cheese, please.

Waiter        : Anything else?

Machiko     : Yes, I’ll have some bread and a glass of orange juice.

Waiter        : (to Roberto) How about you,  what do you want to order?
