Devi, do you have any preference for where you would like to go for dinner for your birthday?
I don't really know where I want to go. I am having trouble thinking of a particular restaurant.
There is a great restaurant directory here in the weekend section of the newspaper.
OK, we could look at that.
Do you have a particular type of food that you would like?
I really like Japanese or Thai food.
That Japanese restaurant, Shogun, got good reviews.
Oh yeah! I saw a review of that restaurant on television. The reviewer loved it!
Would that be a place that you might like to go to for your birthday?
That would work out great! Why don't we call and get a reservation?
