Target Language or Knowledge:

Person A: Excuse me, waiter. There's a fly in my soup. This is really unpleasant. Person B (Waiter): Oh, I'm so sorry about that! Let me take that back and get you a fresh bowl. Person A: Thank you. I hope this doesn't happen often. It's quite uncomfortable to find something like this in my meal. Person B (Waiter): It's very rare, I assure you. We take cleanliness very seriously. Can I offer you a complimentary drink for the inconvenience? Person A: That would be appreciated. But please, make sure the kitchen is more careful. It's important for a nice place like this. Person B (Waiter): Absolutely, I completely understand. Your new soup will be out shortly, and I'll make sure everything is perfect this time. Dialogue 2: Complimenting a Friend's Cooking at Dinner Person A: Wow, this dinner is delicious! Did you cook all this yourself? Person B: Yes, I did! I'm glad you like it. I tried a new recipe for the chicken. Person A: It's really impressive. The chicken is perfectly cooked, and the flavors are amazing. Person B: Thank you! I was a bit nervous about how it would turn out, but I'm happy it's a hit. Person A: You should cook more often. You have a real talent for it. Everything tastes wonderful. Person B: That's so kind of you to say! I enjoy cooking, especially when I have friends over to appreciate it.
