I had dinner with my friends at Italian restaurant in Asakusa.
They moved there about three months ago and we hadn't met since then.
We arranged to meet in front of the Kaminari-mon and walked to the restaurant.

After we finished meal, a waiter came to our table and offered free wine made by him.
We were willing to received the offer and talked why he offered the free wine.
While guessing, we had a happy time.^^

  • tony-san, thank you for your correction. Would you explain the difference between receive and accept?

  • "Accept" has a couple of different meanings. The relevant one here is to agree to receive something (the opposite is to refuse or reject an offer). It is often used with the noun "offer". I suggested it because you used the phrase "willing to receive".
    To receive an offer just means for someone to say something to you which is an offer. Accepting the offer means agreeing to receive what the other person has offered to you. The waiter offered to serve you wine; you accepted the offer, which means that you agreed to drink the wine.
