Welcome to English Listening Channel.

Hello, everyone.
3
Today we're going to look at a conversation at a busy diner kitchen.
4
In this video, you will follow a simple and practical story between a new line cook and an experienced line cook.
5
Don't worry, I will speak slowly and clearly, so please relax and enjoy the story.
6
Before we start, I have a small question for you.
7
Please listen carefully to find the answer.
8
This will help you understand English more deeply.
9
So here is today's question.
10
Why do cooks in a busy kitchen shout out simple words like behind or corner all day?
11
The answer is mentioned in the conversation.
12
If you find the answer, please write it in the comments section.
13
By writing your answer in English, you can improve your English skills even more effectively.
14
All right, let's start the video.
15
Are you ready?
16
Okay, let's begin.
17
Good morning, Ellie.
18
Are you ready for your first real morning rush?
19
I think so.
20
I already checked all my stations.
21
Good.
22
Let's look at your setup one more time before we open.
23
Okay.
24
I have eggs, bacon, and pancake batter ready.
25
What about your tools?
26
Do you have your spatula, your tongs, and a clean towel?
27
Yes, all of them are right here.
28
Great!
29
This means everything is ready and in its place before you start cooking.
30
I remember that from training.
31
Put everything you need close to you in the order you will use it.
32
Exactly.
33
When the tickets start coming in fast, you will not have time to look for anything.
34
How busy does it get here in the morning?
35
Very busy.
36
Our record for one morning rush is about 70 tickets.
37
70 tickets?
38
That sounds like a lot.
39
It is a lot.
40
But if we stay organized, we can handle it.
41
I hope I can keep up with you.
42
You will do fine.
43
Just watch me first and then jump in.
44
Okay.
45
What time do we open?
46
In about 10 minutes.
47
The doors open at 7.
48
10 minutes.
49
My heart is already beating fast.
50
That's normal.
51
Every cook feels that before a big rush.
52
Did you feel nervous on your first day too?
53
Of course, everyone does.
54
But after a while, it becomes normal.
55
I hope I get there soon.
56
You will.
57
Now, let's check the grill one more time.
58
It looks hot and ready.
59
Perfect.
60
Let's turn on all the burners and get the pans in place.
61
I am ready when you are.
62
Should I also check the syrup and butter for the pancakes?
63
Yes, always check the small things too.
64
Syrup, butter, jam, everything.
65
I already filled the syrup bottles this morning.
66
Perfect.
67
What about your workspace?
68
Is it clean and clear?
69
Yes, I wiped down my station before you got here.
70
Good habit.
71
A clean station helps you move faster later.
72
I want to do everything right today.
73
You will.
74
Just remember, if you get confused, ask me right away.
75
I will remember that.
76
Good.
77
Here we go.
78
The doors are opening now.
79
Here comes the first ticket.
80
Two eggs over easy with bacon.
81
Got it.
82
I will start the eggs now.
83
Wait.
84
Look at the next three tickets too.
85
We have more eggs coming.
86
What do you mean?
87
I mean, do not just cook one ticket at a time.
88
Look at everything on the board.
89
Okay, I see five tickets now.
90
Right.
91
Let's count the eggs on all of them together.
92
This ticket needs two eggs.
93
This one needs two more.
94
And this one needs two eggs, too.
95
So, that is six eggs all day.
96
All day.
97
What does that mean?
98
It means the total number we need right now, across every ticket on the board.
99
Oh, I understand.
100
So if a new ticket comes in with more eggs, you add it to the count.
101
Exactly.
102
We always know the all-day number, so we never lose track.
103
That is smart.
104
It helps you cook everything at the same time.
105
Yes.
106
Now let's start the pancakes, too.
107
Three tickets need pancakes.
108
Three pancakes all day.
109
Good job.
110
You are learning fast.
111
This is faster than I thought.
112
It gets faster.
113
More tickets are already coming in.
114
I see them.
115
The board is filling up.
116
Do not worry.
117
Just keep checking the all-day numbers and you will stay on track.
118
Okay.
119
Six eggs and three pancakes all day.
120
Perfect.
121
Now flip those eggs.
122
They are almost ready.
123
Flipping now.
124
Nice work.
125
Let's keep this pace going.
126
Now we have hash browns and toast coming in too.
127
How many hash browns all day?
128
Let's check.
129
This ticket needs one order.
130
This one needs two.
131
So that is three orders of hash browns all day.
132
Right.
133
And four pieces of toast all day.
134
I am understanding this system.
135
Good.
136
It keeps us fast even when the board gets full.
137
I will remember that.
138
Always double-check the board before you plate the food.
139
This kitchen never stops moving.
140
Not during the morning rush, but that's what makes it fun.
141
Hot, behind you.
142
Oh, sorry, I did not see you.
143
No problem.
144
That is why we shout.
145
You really scared me for a second.
146
I know, but it is better than us crashing into each other.
147
What was that word you said?
148
Behind?
149
Yes, when I walk behind someone, I always say behind so they know I am there.
150
That makes sense.
151
This kitchen is so small and busy.
152
Exactly.
153
We also say corner when we turn a corner and cannot see the other side.
154
And what about hot?
155
Hot means I am carrying something hot, like a pan or a pot.
156
Stay away from me.
157
I think I heard that a few times already today.
158
You will hear it all day long.
159
Every cook and server uses these words.
160
Is this only in this restaurant?
161
No, actually.
162
Many busy kitchens use short safety shouts like these.
163
Really?
164
Even in other countries?
165
Yes.
166
It is a common safety habit in many places.
167
That is interesting.
168
I never knew that before today.
169
It keeps everyone safe.
170
No one gets burned and no one crashes into another cook.
171
I will remember to shout too when I carry something.
172
Good.
173
It only takes one second, but it can stop a big accident.
174
Thank you for explaining that, Diego.
175
No problem.
176
Now watch your back again.
177
Hot pan coming through.
178
Got it.
179
I'm watching.
180
Do you ever forget to shout?
181
Sometimes when I'm very tired, but my body still remembers.
182
That is amazing.
183
Your body just knows what to do.
184
Yes.
185
After a few months, you shout without even thinking about it.
186
Are there other words you use here?
187
Yes.
188
We also say order up when a pleat is ready for a server.
189
I heard that one already this morning.
190
You will hear it many more times today.
191
This kitchen has its own language.
192
In a way, yes.
193
It's a language of safety and speed.
194
Behind.
195
Hot pan.
196
Oh.
197
Careful.
198
I am right behind you.
199
I almost turned around without looking.
200
I saw that.
201
Good thing I shouted.
202
That was close.
203
The pan almost hit my arm.
204
Yes, it was very close.
205
Are you okay?
206
I am okay.
207
Just a little surprised.
208
This is exactly what Diego told you about, right?
209
Yes.
210
He explained the shouting rules to me a few minutes ago.
211
Perfect timing, then.
212
I understand now why everyone shouts so much in here.
213
It only takes one second to say behind or hot, but it saves us from accidents.
214
I will remember to listen for those words all the time now.
215
Good.
216
And remember to shout them yourself, too, when you carry something.
217
I will.
218
I do not want anyone else to get hurt because of me.
219
That is the right way to think about it.
220
Should I check behind me before I turn next time?
221
Yes, always.
222
Look before you turn and always listen for the shouts, too.
223
Okay.
224
I will keep my ears open.
225
Good.
226
Now let's get back to these tickets.
227
We still have a dozen eggs all day.
228
Right.
229
Let's keep moving.
230
You are doing great, Allie.
231
Keep paying attention.
232
Thank you, Sam.
233
That was a good lesson.
234
Did the pan touch you at all?
235
No, it did not touch me.
236
I moved just in time.
237
Good.
238
That is the most important thing.
239
My hands are still shaking a little.
240
That is normal after a close call like that.
241
I will be more careful from now on.
242
You are already learning.
243
That's the important thing.
244
I want to make sure this never happens again.
245
Keep listening and looking.
246
That will help everyone stay safe.
247
I promise I will.
248
Let's grab more eggs and bacon from the walk-in.
249
Good idea.
250
We are almost out at the station.
251
Here, take this box of eggs.
252
I will get more bacon.
253
Thank you.
254
Can we stand here for a minute?
255
Sure.
256
This is actually a nice, quiet break.
257
It feels so different in here.
258
So cold and quiet.
259
Yes, the walk-in cooler is the quietest place in the whole kitchen.
260
I did not think we would get any break at all today.
261
We do not get long breaks during the rush, just small moments like this.
262
I have not sat down one time since we opened.
263
You will not sit down for a while.
264
Really?
265
For how long?
266
During a shift like this, I am on my feet for about six hours straight.
267
Six hours?
268
Without sitting?
269
Yes.
270
It is hard on the legs and the back, but you get used to it.
271
How do you have so much energy after all that?
272
Good shoes help a lot.
273
And a lot of coffee.
274
I will remember that next time.
275
Okay, let's grab what we need and get back out there.
276
I'm ready.
277
This little break really helped.
278
Good.
279
Take a deep breath and let's go back to the grill.
280
Let's do it.
281
Do you drink a lot of water during a shift?
282
Yes, I always keep a water bottle near my station.
283
I should do that too.
284
My throat feels dry already.
285
Grab some water when we go back.
286
It's important to drink enough water.
287
I will remember that next time.
288
Your body works hard during a rush like this, even if you do not feel it.
289
I definitely feel it in my legs already.
290
That feeling gets a little better every week.
291
I hope so.
292
It will, trust me.
293
Ellie, listen.
294
Diego just called out something from the back.
295
What did he say?
296
He said, last ticket.
297
That's it.
298
We're clear.
299
Does that mean we are finished with the rush?
300
Yes.
301
No more tickets are coming in right now.
302
That is such a good feeling.
303
Let's count all the tickets from this morning.
304
Okay.
305
I will help you stack them.
306
This pile looks big.
307
Let's count them together.
308
10, 20, 30, 40.
309
Keep going.
310
I think we did more than usual today.
311
50, 60, 70.
312
We already passed our old record of 70.
313
Really?
314
Let's keep counting.
315
75, 80.
316
81, 82.
317
There are 82 tickets.
318
82?
319
Are you sure?
320
Yes, I counted twice.
321
82 tickets total.
322
Wow, that is 12 more than our old record.
323
I cannot believe we did that on my first big rush.
324
Neither can I.
325
That might be a new record for this kitchen.
326
I am so proud of us.
327
You should be.
328
You worked so hard this morning.
329
We all did.
330
You, me, and Diego.
331
Yes, this was a real team effort.
332
What was the biggest number you ever saw before today?
333
The old record was 70 tickets.
334
That was from two years ago.
335
And now it is 82.
336
Yes, that is a huge jump.
337
I feel like we should celebrate.
338
Maybe with a cup of coffee once things slow down.
339
That sounds perfect.
340
I am going to write this number down in our notebook.
341
A new record on my very first rush.
342
That is something to remember.
343
82 tickets.
344
I will remember this day.
345
Well, Ellie, we made it through your first big rush.
346
We did.
347
I can finally relax my shoulders.
348
Yes, you can loosen your apron now, too.
349
This feels so nice.
350
It is so quiet back here now.
351
This is my favorite part of the morning, after the storm.
352
That is a good way to describe it.
353
It really did feel like a storm.
354
How do you feel about your first rush?
355
Honestly, it was hard.
356
My legs are tired and my arms are tired too.
357
That is normal.
358
It gets easier with time.
359
But even with all that, I actually had fun.
360
I'm glad to hear that.
361
Not everyone enjoys a rush like this.
362
I liked working with you and Diego.
363
It felt like we worked well together.
364
We did.
365
That is the only way we get through a morning like today.
366
I learned so much today.
367
The shouting, the all-day counting, all of it.
368
You learned fast.
369
Thank you, Sam.
370
That means a lot to me.
371
You did great today, Ellie.
372
Really.
373
I could not have done it without your help.
374
That's what teammates are for.
375
I am already looking forward to tomorrow's rush.
376
That's the spirit.
377
Let's get some water and rest for a bit.
378
Sounds perfect.
379
What was the hardest part for you today?
380
Probably keeping track of all the all-day numbers at first.
381
That takes practice.
382
You will get faster every day.
383
I hope so.
384
I want to be as fast as you someday.
385
Give it time.
386
I have been doing this for years.
387
I know, but today gave me a good start.
388
It really did.
389
Thank you for teaching me everything today.
390
Anytime.
391
How was it?
392
I hope this video helped you improve your English.
393
Now, let me ask the question from the beginning one more time.
394
Why do cooks in a busy kitchen shout out simple words like behind or corner all day?
395
The answer was mentioned in the video.
396
Did you find it?
397
If you did, please write your answer in the comments section.

关于本课

您正在使用跟读技巧通过视频"🍳 A Line Cook's Morning Rush | Slow and Easy English Story for Beginners"练习英语口语和发音。

每天练习15到30分钟,将显著提高您的英语流利度和发音准确度。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
