Tara, there’s a customer waiting at that table over there. Could you take his order, please?

Yes, of course. Are you ready to order? Oh, hello, Mr Ross.

Hello, Tara. I didn’t expect to see you here. Shouldn’t you be at school today?

We’re all doing work experience this week. This is my last day. We’ll be back at school next week.

Have you enjoyed working here?

Yes, I have. It’s been really interesting. What can I get you?

Could I have a chicken salad, please?

Anything to drink?

I’ll have a cup of tea, please.

So, that’s a chicken salad and a cup of tea.

Yes. Thank you. Would you mind bringing me a glass of water, too, please?

Certainly, Mr Ross.

Here’s your tea, Mr Ross.

Thank you. Oh, by the way, did you enjoy the tennis? Oh, be careful! You nearly dropped that cup and saucer.

Sorry, did you say tennis?

Yes, at Wimbledon. I saw you going in to watch a match the other day. Wednesday, wasn’t it?

Oh, yes. That’s right.

Was it a good match?

Yes, it was great - very exciting.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see any matches myself. I was there on business. My company supplies strawberries for the tournament.

Oh, I see.

Did you have any strawberries and cream? It’s a tradition at Wimbledon, you know.

No, I couldn’t afford them. They were a bit expensive.

Yes, I suppose so. Anyway, nice to see you, Tara. Say hello to your parents for me.

Yes, Mr Ross, I will. Bye!

Oh, no! I knew it was a mistake. This is all Andy’s fault!
