Hey everybody, welcome to this B1 English listening practice video.

You can use this video to practice your listening and comprehension as I speak.

You ready?

So today I'm going to talk about restaurants.

This is a topic that I could talk about all day because I love eating out.

So let's talk specifically about American restaurants.

We could probably classify American restaurants into several different categories.

There are fast food restaurants,

like your typical burger joints,

like McDonald's, Burger King, Jack in the Box,

etc. These would obviously be considered the lowest class restaurants.

Then there are normal, average restaurants that are chains or franchises.

These places usually have locations all over the country as well as multiple locations in the same city.

Then you've got your normal,

average restaurants that are individually or family owned.

In the US, we sometimes call family owned businesses Ma and Pa businesses,

so So some of the restaurants in this category could be called Ma and Pa restaurants.

Then you've got your high-end restaurants,

which would be considered fine dining.

These can be really fancy and expensive,

and if they're really highly acclaimed,

they might even have a Michelin star or two.

Needless to say, most people can't afford to eat at these restaurants too often.

One other type of restaurant that's distinctly American is called a diner.

Diners are restaurants that sell typical American food,

like American breakfast food, burgers,

sandwiches, steak, etc. A lot of diners sell breakfast all day,

so you can order eggs,

sausage, and pancakes at 9pm if you want.

I've always loved diners because they have a really American feel to them.

Whenever I go on a road trip,

I always look forward to stopping in the middle of nowhere at one of these classic American diners.

You can always find diners off the highway in the middle of nowhere.

Alright now let's talk about tipping in the US.

This is something that all foreigners need to know

because it's a custom that's different in the US than it is in other countries.

When you eat at a sit-down restaurant in the US,

you're expected to give a tip for the service you receive.

There are no exceptions here.

Even though it's not mandated by law,

it's an unspoken rule that all Americans abide by.

You have to tip your waiter,

whether you feel like it or not.

So now you might be wondering how much you have to tip.

Well, until recently, 15% has been the standard tip at most restaurants,

but in the last few years they've been trying to raise this.

Nowadays, many restaurants expect 18% or more,

which I think is ludicrous.

I always give 15% no matter what,

and this is still acceptable,

but there's definitely a visible effort on the part of restaurants to raise this percentage.

So be aware of this if you're traveling to the US anytime soon.

Lastly, let's talk about the common expressions we use in the restaurant environment.

When you first enter the restaurant and talk to the host,

you normally say how many people there are in your party.

So you can say, can we have a table for two please?

And to order food, you can say a few different things.

You could say, I'll have the cheeseburger,

I'll take the cheeseburger, or can I have the cheeseburger?

You can use any of these phrases and just substitute the word cheeseburger for whatever dish you're ordering.

If you want to ask the waiter for something else after you've already ordered,

you can just use the phrase, could I have?

So for example, you could say,

could I have another glass of water please?

And one more note, in the US you don't ask for the check when you're done eating.

The waiter brings it to you without you asking.

I know this might seem weird, but it's the custom.

Okay that's all for today.

Leave a comment and tell me what your favorite type of restaurant is.

I'll see you next time.

本課概述

在本課中，您將通過聽取有關美國餐廳的話題來練習英語聽力和理解能力。這段影片旨在幫助您捕捉並理解對話中的關鍵資訊，同時增進您對餐館文化的瞭解。通過重複聽和模仿，您可以提高自己的英語口語水平，這也是一種有效的英語口語練習方法。

練習建議

在收聽這段影片時，建議您採取陰影練習（shadowing）的方法，即模仿說話者的發音和語調。這種方法能夠有效提高您的英語發音和口語流利度。為了更好地進行陰影練習，請注意以下幾點：

跟隨影片的速度：這段影片的說話速度適中，適合您進行模仿。在聽的過程中，儘量同步您的發音與說話者。
重複關鍵短語：特別是提到的關鍵詞彙和短語，可以多次重複，幫助您加深記憶。
注意語調與情感：聽說話者在談論不同餐廳時的情感變化，並嘗試在您的模仿中體現這些情感。
分段練習：如果一次聽完有困難，可以把影片分成小段，反覆練習，每次集中在一小部分內容上。

利用這樣的練習，您會發現自己在進行英語口語練習時越來越自信。通過不斷的模仿和重複，您不僅能夠提高英語發音，還能更好地掌握英語語言的節奏和韻律。總之，加入陰影練習（shadowspeaks）的行列，讓這成為您日常學習的一部分，您會看到明顯的進步！

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	be considered · could be called · would be considered
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	I've always loved · has been · you've already ordered
用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事	might even have · might be · might seem
“will” 表將來 will + 動詞 — 決定、承諾或預測	I'll have · I'll take · I'll see

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
