Restaurants

Talk about what you do when you go to a restaurant. 


When I arrive at a restaurant, I first decide where to sit. I sometimes decide on my own. Sometimes, one of the waiters shows me to our tale. When I get the menu, I decide what to get. If I don't know what to order, I ask for help. When the food comes out, I start to dig in. I ask for more water or sauce whenever I need to. After I eat, I go up to the counter and pay for my meal. I usually pay by credit or with my debit card.
