*Laura:*	An itheann tú feoil? Do you eat meat?
*Say:*	Yes, indeed. I eat every kind of food. Ithim, cinnte. Ithim gach cineál bia.
*Laura:*	Ithimse feoil freisin ach ní ithim bia mara. Ní maith liom ar chor ar bith é. I eat meat too but I don’t eat seafood. I don’t like it at all.
*Say:*	Do you like Mexican food? There’s a Mexican restaurant near the centre of town. An maith leat bia Meicsiceach? Tá bialann Mheicsiceach gar do lár an bhaile.
*Laura:*	An bhfuil sí daor? Is it expensive?
*Say:*	No - the prices are very reasonable indeed. The food is tasty and there’s a very good choice on the menu. Níl – tá na praghsanna an-réasúnta ar fad. Tá an bia blasta agus tá rogha an-mhaith ar an mbiachlár.
*Laura:*	Is breá liom féin bia spíosrach. I love spicy food myself.
*Say:*	Great! Let’s go, then! Go hiontach! Siúil leat, mar sin!
*Laura:*	Ar cheart dúinn glaoch ar an mbialann agus bord a chur in áirithe? Should we call the restaurant and book a table?
*Say:*	Okay. I think the number is on my phone. Maith go leor. Sílim go bhfuil an uimhir ar mo ghuthán.
