Listen to the two raps. Then listen again and chime in. How do the words in each rap fit with the place and the occasion?

RAP: Dinner at a Fancy Restaurant

Good evening.

Welcome to the Tropical Bay.

My name is Robert,

And I’ll be your server today.

I’ll leave while you look at the menu,

But first allow me to say,

We have some very nice specials,

Which I’ll tell you about if I may.

Pizza Lunch

Hi! What can I get you?

Do you need more time to decide?

OK, I hear you.

One pepperoni pizza

With a salad on the side.

Right! One pizza coming up!

It’ll be ready in a little bit.

In the meantime, while you are waiting,

Why don’t you just sit?
