2. Where Must I Go to Get Good Coffee?
(From “Essential English”
by Y.E. Eckersley)
Olaf I had a breakfast this morning that I enjoyed very much: cereal,
bacon and eggs, marmalade, toast, coffee. I think there is
nothing like an English breakfast.
Lucille No bacon and eggs in the morning for me, thank you. My
breakfast is always rolls and coffee.
Ereide You can't drink English coffee, can you?
Lucllle Luckily, at my hotel, there is a cook who is French, so I can
drink coffee.
Mr. So you don't like English coffee?
Priestley
Lucille Oh, no! English people can't make good coffee.
Olaf That's true. Their bacon their bread, their tea are always good.
Their coffee is always bad.
Mr.Priestl Where must I go to get good coffee?
ey
Lucille Come to France; we always make good coffee there.
Jan I like Polish coffee; our coffee is always good.
Olaf Come and taste the coffee that we make in Sweden. There is
none like it.
Feida We make lovely coffee in Switzerland - coffee with thick cream
in it .
Pedro The coffee of South America is really first-class. Then I got
some Egyptian coffee in Cairo that I enjoyed very much, I
drank some good coffee in Turkey. The Dutch know how to
make coffee. It is always good in Portugal.
Mr. And what about England?
Priestley
Pedro In England I always drink tea.
