Прочитайте и переведите рассказ. Напишите свой рассказ о негативном опыте посещения ресторана или кафе.

                     A new restaurant opened in town last week, so I decided to go there to see what it was like. After a few minutes a waitress came over to the table and gave me a menu, but she wasn’t very friendly. I ordered chicken and chips. Half an hour later, the waitress brought the food. The chicken was tough, and it had a rather strange taste. The chips were even worse; they were half cold and very greasy. I couldn’t eat them at all.

                  I called the waitress and asked her to bring me the bill. The bill came to $42. I asked to see the manager. I told him that I thought $42 was too much for such a bad meal. I gave him $10, and then walked out of the restaurant. I’ll certainly never go to that restaurant again.
