14
Are you ready?
15
Okay, let's begin.
16
Morning, Ellie.
17
Two coffees already?
18
What are you doing?
19
Happy birthday, Ken!
20
Today is your day.
21
I am your guide.
22
Wait, really?
23
You planned a whole day for me?
24
The whole day, and tonight a nice hotel.
25
My birthday gift to you.
26
Ellie, that is too much.
27
Thank you so much.
28
You have been my best friend since you came to America.
29
Just enjoy it.
30
Okay, okay.
31
But let me pay for the coffee at least.
32
Deal.
33
Go ahead.
34
The screen is right there.
35
Let me see.
36
Two lattes, $12.
37
And what are these buttons?
38
Those are tip buttons. $1, $2, another amount, or skip.
39
Skip sounds easy.
40
I'll just tap skip.
41
Wait, wait.
42
Let me teach you the puzzle first.
43
The puzzle?
44
What puzzle?
45
Tipping in America can feel like a puzzle at first.
46
A puzzle with many pieces?
47
Yes, but there is a simple rule for each place, one piece at a time.
48
One piece at a time.
49
Okay, I like that.
50
Here is the first piece.
51
For a coffee counter, a tip is not needed.
52
Really?
53
So skip is fine here?
54
Skip is fine.
55
It's your choice.
56
But one or two dollars is a kind way to say thanks.
57
So the person made it for me, and I say thank you with money.
58
Yes, that is a nice way to think about it.
59
It may make her happy too.
60
Okay, let me pick one dollar today.
61
Great start.
62
Was that a piece of the puzzle?
63
A tiny one.
64
The bigger pieces come later today.
65
Bigger pieces?
66
Now I'm curious.
67
One at a time.
68
Coffee first, puzzle later.
69
Coffee first.
70
Then what's next?
71
The salon.
72
The salon?
73
You planned a haircut too?
74
A fresh haircut for the birthday boy.
75
Let's go.
76
Ellie, you really thought of everything.
77
That's what best friends are for.
78
Finish your coffee.
79
Hi, I have a reservation.
80
My name is Ken.
81
Hi, Ken.
82
Come in.
83
I am Nora.
84
Ellie called me this morning.
85
Really?
86
What did she say?
87
She said today is a very special day.
88
Is it your birthday?
89
Yes.
90
How did you know?
91
Oh, right.
92
Ellie told you.
93
Happy birthday.
94
Sit down.
95
So, what kind of cut do you want today?
96
Short on the sides.
97
A little longer on top, please.
98
Nice choice.
99
And would you like a shampoo first?
100
Sure.
101
That sounds great.
102
Thank you.
103
Perfect.
104
My assistant, Kelly, will help with the shampoo.
105
Oh, a second person.
106
Good to know.
107
Yes, we work as a team.
108
Kelly is ready now.
109
Okay, let me follow her.
110
Take your time.
111
See you in a few minutes.
112
Thanks.
113
Kelly was so very careful with the shampoo.
114
Welcome back, Ken.
115
Now the fun part.
116
Snip, snip.
117
You cut so fast.
118
When did you start cutting hair?
119
About 10 years ago.
120
How old are you today, if I may ask?
121
24. That is a great age.
122
All done.
123
Take a look.
124
What do you think?
125
Wow, this is exactly what I wanted.
126
Thank you, Nora.
127
You look great.
128
That will be $30 at the counter.
129
Okay.
130
Um, one second.
131
Let me open my wallet here.
132
Take your time.
133
15% or 20?
134
20% of 30 is $6.
135
That is very kind of you.
136
I want to say thank you for a great cut.
137
You are very sweet, Ken.
138
Thank you.
139
Let me pick 20, and I have one more question, Nora.
140
Sure, ask me anything.
141
Kelly helped too.
142
Two people, two tips, right?
143
You can split it any way you like.
144
Then here, $4 for you, Nora, and $2 for Kelly, please. Of course.
145
That is so kind.
146
She will love that.
147
Please tell her thank you.
148
Have a great day.
149
You too, birthday boy.
150
Come back anytime.
151
So, birthday boy, how was the haircut?
152
Great!
153
And I even gave Kelly her own tip.
154
Two people, two tips.
155
You are already learning.
156
I am proud of you.
157
Thanks!
158
This restaurant looks nice too. So busy.
159
Best burgers in the city.
160
Trust me.
161
And here comes the bill.
162
Ah, tip time.
163
How much do I add?
164
Look at the tax line.
165
See it?
166
Tax, $1.70.
167
What is tax again?
168
Tax is extra money added to the price.
169
Here, we call it sales tax.
170
Okay, I see it.
171
$1.70.
172
Right.
173
Now just double it.
174
$1.70 times 2.
175
$3.40.
176
But is that a tip?
177
That is about 17%, a normal tip in this state.
178
So the tax is like a helper for math.
179
Exactly.
180
Exactly.
181
Here, the tax is about 8.5%.
182
Double it, and I get 17%.
183
Right.
184
Add a little more for great service, then you get 18. So easy.
185
I do not need my phone.
186
Now change $3.40 to $3.60.
187
A nice round tip.
188
$3.60.
189
Let me add it up.
190
Take your time.
191
20 for the food, plus 170 tax, plus 360 tip.
192
Good.
193
And the total?
194
The total is $25.30.
195
You got it.
196
Your first restaurant tip all by yourself.
197
Let me write it on the check.
198
Done.
199
One more thing.
200
Sometimes the tip is already on the bill.
201
Already on the bill?
202
Really?
203
Yes.
204
Look for service charge on the bill.
205
Then you do not have to add more.
206
Good tip about the tip.
207
Smart student.
208
Wait a second.
209
Something is coming back to me.
210
What is it?
211
A question from this morning.
212
About 8.5% tax.
213
Yes.
214
And what is the quick tip?
215
Just double the tax.
216
You got it.
217
That's the puzzle piece for restaurants.
218
Just double the tax.
219
Easy to remember.
220
Ready for the next stop?
221
I think so.
222
What's next?
223
I need to run home for the bags.
224
Okay. And me?
225
You take an Uber to the hotel.
226
I'll meet you there.
227
An Uber by myself?
228
Okay, I'll try.
229
You'll be fine.
230
The app will guide you.
231
Go, birthday boy.
232
See you at the hotel.
233
Hi there.
234
You must be Ken, going to the Grand Elm Hotel, right?
235
Yes, that is right.
236
Thank you.
237
Great.
238
Get in.
239
Nice day for a drive.
240
It sure is.
241
And, well, it is my birthday today.
242
Oh, happy birthday, Ken.
243
That is exciting.
244
Any big plans?
245
My friend Ellie planned everything.
246
Coffee, a haircut, lunch, and now this very nice hotel.
247
That is a great friend.
248
Where is home for you?
249
Japan.
250
I am studying here for one year.
251
Cool.
252
I've always wanted to visit Japan.
253
You should come.
254
Spring is beautiful there.
255
Beautiful?
256
Tell me more.
257
Pink flowers on cherry trees everywhere in the parks.
258
That sounds so lovely.
259
One day, one day.
260
Do you know Japanese food?
261
My son loves ramen.
262
He hopes to try real ramen in Tokyo one day.
263
He will love it.
264
Real ramen is amazing.
265
I will tell him you said that.
266
Traffic is light today, right?
267
Very light.
268
We will be there soon.
269
Great.
270
Can I ask you something?
271
Do drivers see the tip right away?
272
Good question.
273
We see the tip after the ride in the app.
274
After the ride, so not during the drive.
275
Right.
276
Kind of like a thank you note in the mail.
277
I love that.
278
Okay, here we are.
279
Wow, big hotel.
280
Enjoy your stay, Ken, and happy birthday again.
281
Thank you so much, Grace.
282
This was a really fun ride.
283
Aw, thanks.
284
Before I go, let me give you five stars right now.
285
You do not have to, but it is kind of you.
286
And there's a tip screen too, 18, 20, or 25%.
287
Any tip is nice.
288
You were friendly and I learned something new.
289
20% it is.
290
Wow, thank you.
291
You just made me very happy.
292
You made me very happy too.
293
Have a safe drive.
294
You have a wonderful birthday.
295
Bye, Grace.
296
Puzzle piece one.
297
My first solo tip.
298
Take care, Ken.
299
Hi, can you help me with these bags? Of course.
300
Welcome to the Grand Elm.
301
I am Marco.
302
Thank you.
303
I have three bags.
304
Three bags, no problem.
305
Two big suitcases and one small bag.
306
Let me get those for you.
307
Are you checking in now?
308
My friend already checked in.
309
Room 502, I think.
310
Room 502.
311
Got it.
312
Follow me.
313
Is the elevator this way?
314
Right here.
315
Is this your first time at the Grand Elm?
316
Yes.
317
I planned this trip for my friend Ken.
318
Oh, nice.
319
It is his birthday today.
320
He is up in the room right now.
321
Happy birthday to him.
322
I hope you both have a wonderful stay.
323
Thank you.
324
He is going to love this place.
325
Alright, here we are at the elevator.
326
Thank you so much, Marco.
327
You made this easy.
328
I am happy to help.
329
I will take the bags up to your room right now.
330
One second.
331
Let me get something from my wallet.
332
Take your time.
333
Here you go, for you.
334
This is for the three bags.
335
Oh, thank you.
336
Small bag is $1.
337
Big bags are $2 each.
338
You know the rules very well.
339
So that is $5 total, right?
340
Yes, $5.
341
Thank you so much.
342
That is very kind.
343
You're welcome.
344
It's a small thank you for carrying my bags.
345
Some people forget, so I really do appreciate it.
346
My mom worked in a hotel for years.
347
She taught me when I was young.
348
Please tell her thanks from me.
349
She raised you well.
350
I will tell her.
351
Bags will be at your door in five minutes.
352
Great.
353
Thanks again, Marco.
354
Enjoy your stay and say happy birthday to your friend for me.
355
I will.
356
Have a great afternoon.
357
You too.
358
See you around the hotel.
359
See you.
360
Housekeeping.
361
Hi there.
362
Fresh towels for you?
363
Oh, yes, please.
364
Thank you.
365
Come in.
366
I will just put them here on the bathroom counter.
367
Thank you so much.
368
Anything else you need?
369
Um, more coffee for tomorrow morning, maybe.
370
Sure.
371
I will leave a few extra coffee cups on the desk.
372
Great.
373
First time at the Grand Elm for me.
374
Oh, welcome.
375
You are going to love it here.
376
Actually, my first time at any very nice hotel in America.
377
You picked a good one.
378
We are happy to have you.
379
It is my birthday today.
380
My friend surprised me with this stay.
381
Happy birthday.
382
That is such a sweet friend.
383
May I ask your age?
384
24 today.
385
A wonderful age.
386
My daughter is about the same.
387
Oh, cool.
388
Rosa, can I ask you something?
389
A question about hotels?
390
Sure, please ask.
391
For the person who cleans the room, is it better to tip every day or all at the end?
392
Great question.
393
Every day is much better.
394
Why is that?
395
Different people clean each day, so the daily tip goes to the right person.
396
That makes so much sense.
397
Wait, one second.
398
Take your time.
399
Let me grab $3 for my wallet.
400
Here you go for today.
401
Oh, thank you so much, Ken.
402
You did not have to.
403
I wanted to.
404
And a small tip really helps, right?
405
It really helps our team.
406
Many of us work every day.
407
I will leave $3 on the desk every morning, too, with a thank you note.
408
You are so kind.
409
That is a very nice idea.
410
Got it.
411
Daily is better than one big tip when I leave the hotel.
412
Right.
413
Different people, different days.
414
My friend Ellie told me the same thing.
415
Now I'm sure.
416
You listen well.
417
Thanks, Rosa.
418
Have a great night.
419
You too.
420
Bye now.
421
Bye.
422
Daily.
423
Not at the end.
424
Different people each day.
425
Got it.
426
Hey there.
427
Two beers, please.
428
Any local one is fine.
429
You got it.
430
I have a nice local beer for tonight.
431
Cold and fresh.
432
Perfect.
433
Two of those.
434
Coming right up.
435
Are you waiting for someone or drinking both?
436
Waiting for my friend.
437
He is up in the room getting changed.
438
Ah, nice.
439
Here you go.
440
Two cold ones.
441
Thanks. So fast.
442
How much is it?
443
$14.
444
Here's $20 for the two beers.
445
$6 back for you.
446
And here are two extra $1 bills.
447
That is for you.
448
Hey, thank you.
449
Kind of you.
450
One dollar per drink.
451
My simple rule at bars.
452
I love that rule.
453
It works well for us.
454
Do many people tip that way?
455
Some do, some do not.
456
A dollar or two per drink is very common in the U.S.
457
What about credit card?
458
Same idea?
459
Same idea.
460
Or 15 to 20 percent on the total.
461
Good to know.
462
I I usually pay cash at bars.
463
Cash is nice, fast for both of us.
464
Do you work here every day?
465
Five nights a week.
466
I know most of the people who come here often.
467
We call them regulars.
468
Regulars?
469
Is that a nice word?
470
Very nice.
471
It means friends of the bar.
472
I like that idea.
473
We do our best for everyone.
474
But regulars, they know us, and we know them.
475
That is a warm thing.
476
It really is.
477
Small kindness goes a long way.
478
First time here for me, but I like the feeling.
479
Please come back.
480
Then you are a regular too.
481
Deal.
482
Enjoy the beers.
483
Oh look, I see my friend coming.
484
I should grab a table by the window.
485
No problem.
486
Have a great night.
487
Thanks Jake.
488
See you again soon.
489
I will be here.
490
Enjoy the birthday party.
491
I will.
492
One dollar per drink.
493
Simple rule, easy to remember.
494
So, birthday boy, how was your one-day lesson on American tipping?
495
Amazing.
496
I am actually feeling brave now.
497
Look at you.
498
Coffee, salon, lunch, Uber.
499
That is a lot in one day.
500
And housekeeping, too.
501
Rosa was so nice.
502
Rosa?
503
The person who cleaned the room.
504
She said the same thing as you.
505
What did I say?
506
Daily, not at the end.
507
Different people each day.
508
See?
509
I was not making things up.
510
You never make things up.
511
Okay.
512
One last test tonight.
513
The pizza is on the way.
514
Oh, pizza.
515
Perfect birthday food.
516
What is the tip for delivery?
517
Delivery is usually $3 to $5, or 15 to 18% of the order.
518
Look at you!
519
Perfect answer.
520
How much is our pizza?
521
$25.
522
So about $4 is fine. $5 is an easy amount and a little extra.
523
Five sounds good.
524
Where is the money?
525
Watch this.
526
I have a $5 bill ready.
527
Wait, you are ready before he even rings.
528
I will wait by the door with it in my hand.
529
Ken, you are amazing.
530
I am ready.
531
Puzzle solved.
532
Puzzle solved.
533
Look at you.
534
The ab said five minutes ago he was on the street.
535
So very soon then.
536
Any moment.
537
Ellie, you are the best teacher.
538
You learned so much today.
539
I am proud of you.
540
Well, I had a great teacher.
541
There it is.
542
The doorbell.
543
Coming.
544
Hi.
545
Thanks so much.
546
This is for you.
547
Have a great night.
548
That was easy.
549
Pizza in one hand, tip in the other.
550
I feel so proud.
551
Let us start eating while it's hot.
552
Oh, one more thing.
553
When it rains or snows, add a couple more dollars.
554
A couple more when the weather is bad.
555
That makes sense.
556
Driving is hard in the rain.
557
And snow is even worse.
558
Yes, delivery drivers work harder in bad weather.
559
Let me check the window.
560
Clear tonight, lucky driver.
561
Happy birthday, Ken.
562
Now let us start eating.
563
Yes, please.
564
First slice for the teacher.
565
How was it?
566
I hope this video helped you improve your English.
567
Now, let me ask the question from the beginning one more time.
568
At an American restaurant, when the sales tax is about 8.5%,
569

À propos de cette leçon
Vous vous entraînez en anglais avec "💵 How to Tip in America: The Complete Guide | Slow and Easy English Story for Beginners" en utilisant la technique du Shadowing.
Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
