Welcome to English Listening Channel.

Hello everyone!
3
Today we're going to look at a conversation in an American pub.
4
In this video, you will follow a simple and practical story between two old friends and the pub staff.
5
Don't worry, I will speak slowly and clearly, so please relax and enjoy the story.
6
Before we start, I have a slal 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
About how many minutes before closing time does last call happen?
11
The answer is mentioned in the conversation.
12
If you find the answer, please write it in the comment section.
13
By writing your answer in English, you can improve your English skills even more effectively.
14
Alright, let's start the video.
15
Are you ready?
16
Okay, let's begin.
17
Wow, this place is packed tonight.
18
I know.
19
Friday nights are always busy here.
20
Where should we sit?
21
I don't see any open tables.
22
Look, there are two seats at the bar.
23
At the bar?
24
I don't think I've ever sat there before.
25
Really?
26
Why not?
27
I guess I usually just sit at a table.
28
I don't know the bar very well.
29
Don't worry.
30
It's easy.
31
And it's actually faster, too.
32
Faster?
33
How?
34
If we sit at the bar, we don't have to wait for a server.
35
We can just ask the bartender directly.
36
Oh, that makes sense.
37
I never thought about that before.
38
A lot of people don't, but once you try it, you understand.
39
Okay.
40
Let's give it a try, then.
41
Come on.
42
Let's grab those two seats before someone else does.
43
Okay.
44
Let's go.
45
Careful.
46
It's crowded here.
47
Yeah.
48
Hold on to your bag.
49
It's easy to bump into people.
50
Good thing we came a little early.
51
See?
52
This is a great spot.
53
We can see the whole room from here.
54
Yeah.
55
And it's not too loud right here.
56
It will get louder later.
57
Friday nights always do.
58
I don't mind.
59
I actually like a lively place.
60
Me too.
61
It feels more fun with people around.
62
To be honest, I feel a little nervous.
63
Why?
64
It's just like any other place.
65
I've never really ordered a drink at a bar before.
66
I don't know the words.
67
Don't worry about it.
68
I'll help you tonight.
69
Thanks.
70
I really want to learn this.
71
It's easy once you know a few key words.
72
Good, because right now the menu looks confusing.
73
It's not so bad.
74
Let's take a look together.
75
Okay, I'm ready.
76
Show me how it works.
77
First, let's just relax and enjoy the music for a minute.
78
I like that idea.
79
This place has a nice feeling.
80
I come here a lot after work.
81
It always feels warm and friendly.
82
I can see why.
83
The lights and the wood tables look really nice.
84
This is going to be a fun night.
85
I hope so.
86
Let's see what they have.
87
Okay, look at this menu.
88
What do you want to try?
89
I see a lot of names here.
90
What does on tap mean?
91
That means draft beer.
92
It comes from a keg through a tap.
93
And what about bottled?
94
That's beer in a bottle, like you buy at a store.
95
Which one is better?
96
On tap may be a little cheaper here, but that can be different at every bar.
97
Oh, I didn't know that.
98
I always thought bottled was better.
99
Draft beer is often served very cold, and a lot of people enjoy that.
100
That makes a lot of sense.
101
I'll remember that.
102
There's a lot to learn, but it's not hard once you know the basics.
103
Okay, then I'll try something on tap.
104
Good choice.
105
Do you want something light or something dark?
106
What's the difference?
107
Do you want a beer with a light taste or a stronger taste?
108
I'll start light.
109
I'm still new to this.
110
That's smart.
111
You can always try something different next time.
112
What about you?
113
What do you usually get?
114
I'll have a glass of red wine.
115
Do you want that with anything?
116
No, just a plain glass is fine for me.
117
I always thought wine was harder to order.
118
Sometimes it is, but a plain glass is always easy.
119
Good to know.
120
What if I want something bigger?
121
You can ask for a pint.
122
That's a large size for beer.
123
A pint?
124
Okay, I'll remember that word.
125
You're learning fast already.
126
Okay, let's order.
127
You can just tell the bartender when they come over.
128
Got it.
129
I think I can do this.
130
You'll be fine.
131
Just speak clearly and smile.
132
What if I say something wrong?
133
Don't worry.
134
Bartenders help people all the time.
135
It's normal.
136
Okay.
137
That makes me feel better.
138
Just be polite and ask questions if you're not sure.
139
Okay.
140
Here he comes.
141
Perfect timing.
142
Hi there.
143
What can I get for you tonight?
144
I'd like a light beer on tap, please.
145
A pint, if that's okay.
146
Sure thing.
147
Can I see your ID, please?
148
My ID?
149
Really?
150
Yes, we ask everyone, no matter how old they look.
151
But I'm already over 30.
152
It's our bar's rule.
153
We check every single customer.
154
In the United States, you must be 21 to buy alcohol.
155
Oh, I see.
156
That makes sense.
157
Here you go.
158
It's in my wallet.
159
Take your time.
160
No rush at all.
161
Found it.
162
Here.
163
Thank you.
164
This looks good.
165
So you check everyone?
166
Even older people?
167
Yes, everyone.
168
It's not personal at all.
169
I thought maybe I looked too young.
170
Not at all.
171
It's just how bars work here.
172
That's good to know.
173
I was a little surprised.
174
Most first -time visitors are surprised, too.
175
I guess it makes sense.
176
It keeps things fair for everyone.
177
Exactly.
178
It's the same rule for everyone.
179
What happens if someone forgets their ID?
180
Then we can't serve them alcohol.
181
We have to say no. Wow.
182
Even a regular customer?
183
Even a regular customer.
184
The rule is the same for everyone.
185
I'll remember to always bring mine.
186
That's a good habit to have.
187
Do you ever have to say no to people?
188
Sometimes, yes.
189
It's not fun, but it's part of the job.
190
I bet that's a hard conversation.
191
It can be, but most people understand once we explain the rule.
192
Thanks for explaining that.
193
No problem.
194
One pint of light beer coming right up.
195
Thank you so much.
196
I'll bring it over in just a minute.
197
Take your time.
198
It won't be long at all.
199
want alcohol, but still want something special.
200
So, what do you make for them?
201
We make mocktails.
202
This one's a mocktail, no alcohol at all.
203
What's in it?
204
Fresh orange juice, a little mint, and some soda water.
205
That sounds nice and light.
206
We make it just like a real cocktail, with the same care.
207
I love that.
208
It's nice to have options.
209
Exactly.
210
Everyone should feel welcome here.
211
Do many people order mocktails on a Friday night?
212
More than you might think.
213
Some people are driving, some just prefer it.
214
That's a good reason.
215
It's safer for everyone, too.
216
Exactly.
217
We never want anyone to feel left out.
218
Can I try a small one? Of course.
219
Let me make one for you right now.
220
Thank you.
221
That's very kind.
222
It only takes a minute.
223
I really like that you offer this.
224
A lot of guests say the same thing.
225
It makes the bar feel open to everyone.
226
That's exactly what we want.
227
This orange color looks so pretty.
228
Thanks.
229
We like to make it look nice too, not just taste good.
230
Do you make different mocktails every night?
231
Yes, we change the menu sometimes.
232
This one's new this month.
233
I'll have to try the others next time.
234
You should.
235
We always enjoy making new ones for guests.
236
Here comes my friend now.
237
Perfect timing.
238
Here's your mocktail.
239
Thank you so much, Jake.
240
Wow, is that a band setting up?
241
Yes, they have live music here on Friday nights.
242
That's nice.
243
I didn't know that.
244
It starts soon.
245
It's usually soft, quiet music.
246
I love the feeling here.
247
Me too.
248
Should we order some snacks?
249
Good idea.
250
I'm getting hungry.
251
Let's look at the food menu.
252
They have small plates.
253
That sounds perfect.
254
Oh, look at this sign.
255
It says, Happy Hour.
256
What's happy hour?
257
It's a time when drinks and food cost less.
258
That sounds great.
259
When is it?
260
Usually early evening, before it gets busy.
261
So we missed it?
262
Yes, but only by a little.
263
We're right on time for the show, though.
264
That's okay.
265
I'd rather see the music.
266
Same here.
267
Let's order some snacks now.
268
What do you recommend?
269
The small plates are great to share.
270
Let's get two or three different ones.
271
Good idea.
272
We can try a little of everything.
273
What about those with the cheese on top?
274
Those are always popular.
275
They go fast on busy nights.
276
Let's order them before they run out.
277
Good thinking.
278
I'll ask the server.
279
This place has a really nice feeling to it.
280
I come here often.
281
It's always relaxed.
282
I can see why you like it so much.
283
The music makes it even better.
284
I'm looking forward to it.
285
Listen.
286
They're starting to play now.
287
This is perfect.
288
Good food, good music, good company.
289
I couldn't agree more.
290
Should we get another round of drinks?
291
Sure.
292
Let's order one more each.
293
We should come here more often.
294
I was thinking the same thing.
295
Maybe next time we can invite some other friends too.
296
That sounds like a great idea.
297
Last call, everyone we close in about 30 minutes.
298
Wait, what does last call mean?
299
It means this is your last chance to order tonight.
300
Oh, I didn't know that phrase.
301
Here, we say it about 30 minutes before closing.
302
Other bars may be different.
303
So, after that, no more drinks?
304
That's right.
305
We stop serving after last call.
306
That's good to know.
307
I'll remember that phrase.
308
A lot of guests don't know it their first time here.
309
I'm glad you told me first.
310
Would you like to order one more thing before we close?
311
Actually, I think I'm okay for tonight.
312
No problem at all.
313
Why 30 minutes?
314
Why not right at closing time?
315
It gives us time to serve the drink and for guests to finish it slowly.
316
Oh, that makes sense.
317
It's not rushed that way.
318
Exactly.
319
We want everyone to relax, even near closing time.
320
I like that.
321
It feels more comfortable.
322
That's the idea.
323
Nobody likes to feel rushed.
324
Thanks for explaining everything tonight.
325
I learned a lot.
326
That's what we're here for.
327
I feel a lot more comfortable at a bar now.
328
That's great to hear.
329
I'll remember last call for sure.
330
Good.
331
It's one of the most useful phrases here.
332
Thank you so much for all your help tonight.
333
Anytime.
334
Have a great rest of your night.
335
Do you close right after last call?
336
Not right away.
337
We give people time to finish their drinks first.
338
That's nice.
339
It doesn't feel rushed at all.
340
We want everyone's last few minutes here to feel relaxed, too.
341
You, too.
342
Thanks again, Lucy.
343
You're welcome, David.
344
So, how do we pay?
345
Do we pay for each drink one by one?
346
No, we can ask for one check for everything.
347
Oh, that's easier.
348
Let me try.
349
Excuse me.
350
Can we get the check, please?
351
Nice job.
352
That's exactly how you ask.
353
Thanks.
354
And what about a tip?
355
A dollar or two per drink is normal here.
356
Okay.
357
Let me do the math.
358
Four drinks, so about six dollars.
359
That sounds just right.
360
A tip is just a way to say thank you for good service, right?
361
Exactly.
362
That's all it is.
363
Good.
364
I like that idea.
365
You're learning fast tonight.
366
I guess I am.
367
A few hours ago, you didn't even want to sit at the bar.
368
I know.
369
Now I feel like I understand so much more.
370
You learned about tap beer, checking ID, mocktails, and last call.
371
And how to pay and tip, too, all by myself.
372
See?
373
You know so much about bars now.
374
Maybe not everything, but I feel much better about it now.
375
That's what matters most.
376
Thanks for bringing me here tonight. Of course.
377
It was fun watching you learn.
378
I really enjoyed the music and the food, too.
379
Me too.
380
This was a great night out.
381
Let's come back again sometime.
382
I'd love that.
383
Same time next Friday?
384
Sounds perfect.
385
I'll see you here.
386
Maybe I'll leave an order first next time.
387
Ha!
388
I'd love to see that.
389
Watch me.
390
I'm ready for it now.
391
I believe you.
392
You did great tonight.
393
Thanks, Sally.
394
Good night.
395
Good night, David.
396
See you soon.
397
How was it?
398
I hope this video helped you improve your English.
399
Now, let me ask you the question from the beginning one more time.
400
About how many minutes before closing time does last call happen?
401
The answer was mentioned in the video.
402
Did you find it?

关于本课

您正在使用跟读技巧通过视频"🍺 Bar and Pub Vocabulary: Ordering Drinks in America | 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。
