A Meeting in London | Leer Engels A1

1. "Hello. Are you Emma?" he asks. His face is a little red. He is embarrassed. "Yes, I am Emma. Are you James?" she answers.

2. James sits down carefully. He puts his bag on the ground. He is thirty years old. He works in a bookshop. Sometimes he reads while walking. This is why he walks into things. Many tourists come to his shop. He gives them bad directions because he is terrible with maps.

3. "How are you?" Emma asks. "I am fine, thank you. And you?" James fixes his glasses. "I am fine too. But I am a little nervous." Emma is honest. James laughs. "Me too! I already attacked a chair!"

4. The waiter comes to the table. He looks tired, or bored, maybe both. "Good afternoon. What would you like?" he asks. Emma looks at the menu again. "I would like a flat white, please." The waiter writes very slowly. "And you, sir?" the waiter asks James.

5. "I would like a black coffee, please." James speaks clearly. "Would you like something to eat?" the waiter asks. Emma is hungry. "Yes. I would like a scone, please." She points at the menu. "I would like a sandwich, please. A cheese sandwich," James says.

6. The waiter writes everything down. He writes very slowly. "So, one flat white, one black coffee, one scone, and one cheese sandwich. Is that correct?" James and Emma both say yes. "Perfect. It comes in... some time." The waiter walks away slowly.
