Text 3. AT THE ACADEMY CANTEEN
I spend a lot of time at the Academy, that is why it is necessary to have a snack there. During the break I go to have lunch to our college canteen. It is always full of people at this time.
I go to the service counter and line up. There is self-service at our canteen. Sometimes it takes quite a lot of time to stand in the line and I have to gulp my lunch in five minutes.
The choice of dishes in our canteen is rather rich, the quality of food is good and the prices are reasonable.
To begin with, I usually have some salad - tomato and cucumber salad or mixed salad. For the first course I have soup - fresh cabbage shchee, pea soup or fish soup for a change. For the main course I have meat or chicken dishes, for examplle steak, roust chicken with spaghetti or potatoes. I prefer meat to fish but I eat fish from time to time too. For dessert I usually have fruit juice or a cup of tea with a bun. I take them from the counter, put on my tray and go to the cashier's desk to pay the money. Then I seat at any vacant table.
I am fond of eating in our canteen.

Text 5. RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN RESTAURANT SERVICE.
With Russian service the food is cooked in the kitchen, placed onto a serving dish, and beautifully garnished. The dish then is presented to the guests and served individually by lifting the food onto the guest’s plate with a serving spoon and fork.
Russian service can be used at a banquet or a dinner party, where the servers may wear white gloves.
American service.
This is a simplified version of Russian service techniques. The food is prepared and dished into individual plates in the kitchen, carried into the dining room and served to guests. This method of service is more popular because it is quicker and guests receive the food hot and beautifully presented by the chef.
Needs and desires of guests.
The needs and desires of guests are what is important – not what the owner, chef, or manager think. Good servers quickly learn to gauge the guest’s satisfaction
