In today's lesson we're having a conversation at the restaurant.
3

21
Yeah, I'm really sorry but this fork is dirty.

24

The food is too sweet.
28
The food is too salty.
29
The food is cold.
30

34
I've been waiting a long time for my starter I've been
35
waiting a long time for my main meal I've been waiting
36
a long time for my drink The people at the next table are too noisy Now let's put
37
that polite complaint form and the problem together.
38

39
Yeah, I'm sorry but my burger is undercooked.
40

If you're enjoying this video, why not go to my channel Master Everyday English.
42
There are more videos about life and work in the United States, and there's a really good video
43
about getting a table in the restaurant
44
and I'll put the link up here for you now let's
45
see how much you can remember it's time for a little quiz
46
look at the pictures and then listen to the sentence see if you can choose the picture that matches the sentence.
47
After a few seconds I'll show you the answer so you can check to see if you got it correct.
48
Yeah I'm sorry but this silverware is dirty.
49
yeah I don't usually complain but the people at the next table are really noisy
50
yeah I'm sorry but this burger is completely overcooked Yeah,
51
I hate to say this, but the server here has been really rude.
52
Here are a few things that are useful to know
53
if you have to make a complaint at a restaurant in the United States.
54
In most cases just saying to the server that you have a problem, being polite, you'll find a solution to that problem.
55
If there's a problem that maybe you have with your server,
56
it's always a good idea to either speak to another server or to the host at the front of the restaurant, if there is a host.
57
Otherwise, you'll need to find the manager.
58
That's it for today.
59
I hope this lesson is useful for you if you find yourself in
60
that situation where you're at a restaurant and you need to make a complaint.

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。
