- Yes. A prawn cocktail for my wife and a trout for me.
- And the main course, sir?
- Veal for my wife and I can’t decide between the veal and the
chicken. What do you recommend?
- Oh, if I were you I’d have the veal. It’s the specialty of the house.
- What would you like with the veal?
- Two mixed salads, please.
- Any vegetables, sir?
- Yes some cauliflower, some boiled potatoes, please.
- Anything to follow?
- Can we order that later?
- Oh, of course, sir.

- Would you like to see the wine list?
- Yes. We’d like a bottle of dry white wine.
- May I suggest something?
- Of course.
- Why don’t you try a bottle of English wine?
- English wine?
- Yes, it isn’t very well known, but it is being produced in the south
of England, sir. You’ll be surprised. It’s very good.
Unit 71. North Sea Oil
Good evening! This is London radio. Welcome to “Man in the Street”.
Our program tonight is about North Sea Oil. Oil was first discovered
beneath the North sea in the late 1960-s. Since then more and more oil
has been found off the coast of Britain and has been brought ashore We
aren’t going to become very rich but we must decide how to spend the
oil revenues. Our interviewers went into the streets to ask people their
opinion. He asked, “If you were a Prime-Minister what would you do
with the money?”
- Well, of course I am not the Prime-Minister but if were I’d spend the
money on more hospitals and schools. We need more doctors, nurses
and teachers. Classes are too big. If classes were smaller children
would learn more. And there aren’t enough nurses either, because
salaries are too low. If the salaries were higher more people would
become nurses. Money which is spent now on education and health
is an investment for the future.
- I think the answer is quite simple. Taxes are much too high in this
country, aren’t they? I would reduce them. If we reduced taxes
people would have more money. If they had more money they’d
spend more. Industry would have to produce more so it would need
more workers. There would be more jobs and we would all be richer.
- I am very worried about inflation. I’d try to control prices. If I were
the Prime-Minister I’d reduce the price of gas, coal and electricity.
If we did that everybody would benefit, wouldn’t they? Food is
much too expensive. I’d encourage the farmers to produce more food
more cheaply. However there is something that I certainly wouldn’t
do. I certainly wouldn’t build more roads. And I wouldn’t spend
money on guns and tanks and war planes.
- There is too much crime and violence nowadays. There aren’t enough
policemen on the streets. I’d increase the size of the police force and
I’d increase their salaries. If we had more police then we’d all feel
safer. I’d also increase old age pensions. I worked hard all my life
and I should have more reasonable standard of living.
