Mona: We’re going out for dinner now. Could you recommend a good restaurant? One that’s nearby?
Leo: The Golden Lotus is very close. It’s famous for itsseafood. But, if you like to listen to music while you’re eating, Irecommend the Pearl Garden Cabaret. It’s also within walkingdistance.

And water for you, madam. Now, are you ready to order?
