A Story in a Restaurant (indirect)

(Note: our group act as the woman.)

     I was having a dinner with my friend in a restaurant. The food was delicious and everything went well. Suddenly, my friend screamed what was that in the soup.

    I looked at the soup and found that there was a fly inside. My friend shouted where the waiter was.

    A waiter came to us after two minutes and asked that how he could help us.

    Then my friend shouted to him that there was a fly inside.

    The waiter looked at the soup and apologized that he was so sorry about that, could he take a new one for us.

    My friend howled that there was no way and he would tell that to the waiter's boss.

    The waiter replied gently that he was so sorry. He said that we could tell his boss, but what he could do now is help us to change a new order.

    I replied that was very kind of him and please take a new order for us..

    The waiter said thank you and smiled to me.

    However, my friend still yelled that he do not want to eat the food there anymore. There was very dirty.

    The waiter looked impatient and said that he was sorry again about that, but that was really an accident. They would do it well next time.

     I adviced to my friend that just give them a chance, but my friend said no and shouted again madly.

    He asked the waiter to call his boss there.

    The waiter couldn't control his anger and left.

    My friend exclaimed loudly that how wickedly the waiter was. Everyone in the restaurant looked at him.

    That made me feel shameful. I finally shouted at him that was very ahumiliatory to had a dinner with him because he was very rude. I left the restaurant at last.

  1. Hi, Chong~ that's nice work, I think. However you need to use appropriate verbs in indirect speech.
    Ex)
    My friend shouted where the waiter was
    --> My friend asked where the waiter was

    said that how he could help us.
    --> asked how he could help us.

    They were questions. Our professor mentioned about that. Also, a sentence with conjuction can not be used alone. It needs a independent clause, so you had better write a transition word.

    EX)
    But my friend still yelled that he do not want to eat the food there anymore.
    --> However, my friend still yelled that....

    Finally, I think there are many same verbs. 'said', 'scream'

    It was an interesting story.
    Have a great weekend~!
