1. A: What's the new Indian restaurant on Sixth Street like?

B: Well, everyone said it was very good, but I wasn't too satisfied when I went there the other night.

A: Why not?

B: The food was good, but it took too long to arrive. We had to wait for nearly an hour before we got anything to eat.

A: Oh! That's terrible service.

2. A: I'm going to get the textbook for our biology class at the campus bookstore. Do you want to come?

B: No, I don't think so.

A: Why not?

Don't you think it's convenient having a bookstore right on campus?

B: Yes. it is. But have you compared their prices with other bookstores? That store in the mall is usually about 10% cheaper. And you save about 20% buying your books online.

A: Oh. I didn't know that.

3. A: Do you belong to a health club?

B: Not right now. I used to go to the Metropolitan Health Club on Third Street. I thought it was great because it was so cheap, but then I stopped going.

A: Really? I heard it was pretty popular.

B: That was the problem. It was too popular. It was always full of people. Sometimes I had to wait a long time to use the machines.

4. A: So how was the hotel in Honolulu?

B: It was pretty good. The staff was really nice—very friendly and helpful. There was one problem with it. though.

A: What was that?

B: The location. It was too far from the restaurants and clubs. Next time, I think I'll stay much closer to the downtown.

5. A: Do you want to try Italian food tonight?

B: Sure. Where would you like to go?

A: How about Little Roma—you know, that Italian restaurant across from the movie theater? I heard the prices are cheap.

B: That's true. But the service is pretty bad. The waiters are really slow, and they're not very friendly either.

A: Oh, I didn't know that. Let's try another place.

6. A: I heard there's a sale at Brenda's Boutique. Do you want to check it out? They have some really good clothes.

B: I know, but the service is terrible. The people who work there are so rude.

A: I know what you mean.
