📖 READING

Yesterday, my friends and I went to a new restaurant in town. The place was clean and the staff were friendly. We looked at the menu and decided to order grilled chicken with vegetables. It came with carrots, green beans, and a small salad. The chicken was juicy and the vegetables were fresh. Everyone enjoyed their food. We didn’t order dessert because we were full. The waiter was polite and quick. We said we would come back again. It was a great dinner experience!
