　　J: Tim. Why you said “special” lunch?

　　T: You know, Ivorians are not similar from each other. They bow to the master.

　　J: I think they like Japenese!

　　M: Circle!

　　T: Yes, they sit beside the table like a circle.

　　A: That’s really interesting.

　　M: In addition, Ivorians don’t eat sheep very often. They think sheep are holy animal.

　　A: In fact I don’t like sheep very much.

　　T: Now we arrive at the Celia’s restaurant.

　　M: Wow, is a beautiful place.

　　T: It’s the biggest cafeteria in Cote d'ivoire.

　　J: Em… the food isn’t very good.

　　M: I’m agreeing with you. The food taste terrible.
