My First Time At A Buffet

(1) Amy:

Listen

I've never been to an all-you-can-eat [vocab word=buffet]buffet[/vocab].

In an "all-you-can-eat" buffet, you can eat anything. You can eat a lot or little.

(2) George:

Listen

[vocab word=seriously]Seriously[/vocab]?

This means "Are you serious? Or, are you joking?"

(3) Amy:

Listen

My home country doesn't have too many all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants. I can eat any food in an all-you-can-eat buffet, right?

(4) George:

Listen

Yes. You can eat any food.

(5) Amy:

Listen

Can I put a lot of food on my [vocab word=plate]plate[/vocab]?

(6) George:

Listen

Yes. You can eat any [vocab word=amount]amount[/vocab] of food. It's "All"-you-can-eat.

(7) Amy:

Listen

So, I can get 10 plates of food.

(8) George:

Listen

Well, you could get 10 plates of food... But, you have to eat them all. You cannot [vocab word=waste]waste[/vocab] any food. The restaurant doesn't [vocab word=allow]allow[/vocab] any [vocab word=leftover]leftovers[/vocab].

"have to" is a semi-modal verb. It means "must" or "need to".

(9) Amy:

Listen

Can I take the leftovers home?

(10) George:

Listen

I guess. But, the restaurant will [vocab word=charge]charge[/vocab] you for it.

You have to pay extra money for the leftovers.

(11) Amy:

Listen

I see. Do you often eat at an all-you-can-eat buffet?

(12) George:

Listen

I used to. I could eat 3, 4 plates of food. But, not any more.

"I used to" here means "I used to eat often at all-you-can-eat buffets."

(13) Amy:

Listen

Can I pay by credit card?

(14) George:

Listen

Let's see... The menu says, "You may pay by credit card or cash." So, yeah.

"may" is a modal verb for permission. It's more polite than "can".

(15) Amy:

Listen

Now, I'm [vocab word=ready]ready[/vocab] to eat. Meat first. Vegetables later.
