118
You will receive the book in your email.
119
Now let's get back to our lesson.
120
Part two.
121
At the restaurant.
122
Now when you are at the restaurant,
123
the first thing you need is the menu.
124
So menu, as you know, is a list with the names of all the dishes,
125
all the meals that that restaurant has to offer.
126
Nowadays, many restaurants do not offer a menu on paper,
127
but rather they have a QR code on the table.
128
You have to scan it with your phone to see the menu.
129
And that is good, I think.
130
You don't use paper.
131
Now, next to the menu,
132
some restaurants have another menu,
133
which is the drinks menu.
134
That is the list of all the drinks they have to offer.
135
Different wines, different sodas, soft drinks,
136
alcoholic drinks, the entire list of drinks.
137
Now, sometimes on the menu you may see one section titled today's special or maybe specials.
138
What is that?
139
That is the dish or the meal that the chef has prepared specifically for today.
140
Tomorrow you won't find that on the menu.
141
It's only for today.
142
That is today's special.
143
Now each meal at the restaurant may have three different steps.
144
The first one is the starter which is a very light meal
145
so as to work up an appetite ah good phrase work
146
up an appetite what does it mean appetite is the desire to eat
147
if you work up an appetite it means you are doing something to your body
148
that your body feels more and more hungry
149
so basically you are preparing your stomach for the real meal
150
which is after the starter
151
and is called the main course main course is the main dish the biggest dish you're going to eat after
152
that you may want to order dessert
153
which is something sweet at the end of the meal now
154
when you order your meal you may want to choose some side dishes.
155
Side dishes?
156
What are those?
157
Well, maybe some yogurt, some olives,
158
something to eat, some pickles,
159
something to eat next to your food.
160
They just put it beside your food.
161
It's not part of your main meal.
162
So you can order side dishes or if you're having salad or something that requires some sauce,
163
you can order dressing.
164
Dressing.
165
Dressing is not, no, no, no, it's not dressing.
166
Dressing is basically sauce added to salad.
167
Now at the end of the menu
168
or at the bottom of each page of the menu you may see this word allergen.
169
Allergen.
170
But what does it mean?
171
Well allergen or plural allergens are the materials,
172
the substances in the food that may cause an allergic reaction.
173
So for example if you are allergic to tomatoes you may want to check the allergens to see
174
if tomatoes are in the meal you're going to order.
175
Or if you're allergic to peanuts,
176
you may find peanuts in the allergens.
177
And finally, a very useful phrase.
178
Imagine you and your friend are at the restaurant and your friend decides to have pizza.
179
And then you think that, huh, pizza sounds good.
180
I want the same.
181
What can you say?
182
A pizza for me too.
183
That's okay.
184
but you can also say huh make it two make it two it means i want the exact same
185
that he ordered if you are the third person you can say uh yeah make
186
that three make it two make it three
187
that means me too i want the exact same
188
that these guys are having all right enough let's see how
189
to use these in a dialogue i booked a table for
190
two for 7 p.m under the name of thomas shelby of course Please come this way.
191
After sitting.
192
Sorry, could we have the menu please? Of course.
193
Just scan the QR code.
194
A few minutes later.
195
Can I take your order sir?
196
What would you like for main course?
197
Yes, a margarita pizza please.
198
Excellent choice.
199
And you sir?
200
Mmm, yeah, make it two.
201
Uh-huh, two margarita pizzas.
202
Anything for a starter?
203
Maybe seasoned salad?
204
And I'll have the fried snails.
205
Okay.
206
Anything to drink?
207
How about a bottle of water? of water.
208
Yes, a bottle of sparkling water.
209
Great.
210
I'll be right back with your order.
211
Now, as you are having your meal,
212
you may have some needs or requests.
213
Who should you call?
214
You should call the waiter now you can call the waiter
215
or the waitress
216
but you can use a very nice phrasal verb flag down to flag down the waiter
217
or to flag down the waitress means to wave at them get their attention
218
and then they will come to you this is to flag down a waiter waitress excuse me sir ma'am
219
that is flagging down it means calling them to come to
220
you another one is round of drinks round of drinks what does it mean well
221
if you are out with more than three friends three four five six seven eight
222
if you want to order drinks you may say we need another round of drinks.
223
Now, a round of drinks means drinks for everybody.
224
It's not just for me.
225
If I want a drink,
226
I would say, I need another Coca-Cola.
227
But, but, if everyone at the table wants the same drink,
228
you would say, sorry, another round of drinks here.
229
It means everyone at this table would like another drink,
230
a round of drinks.
231
And the waiter
232
or the waitress may say right away right away right away
233
what does it mean no it means immediately without hesitation right
234
now right away sir look at this dialogue great pizza tell
235
me about it i need another beer me too let's flag
236
down the waiter yes sir can we get another round of drinks Right away sir,
237
when your meal is finished and you want to leave the restaurant,
238
you have to pay the bill.
239
An informal phrase, instead of pay the bill,
240
you can also say foot the bill.
241
Yes, foot.
242
To foot the bill means to pay the bill, but that's informal.
243
If you're out with your friends,
244
you may want to foot the bill.
245
It means to pay it.
246
Now, where do you pay the bill?
247
First of all, you need to ask for the bill or the check.
248
can we have the check please you can use this sign as well sorry can I have the check please
249
or can I have the bill please they will bring it to you at your table you can see
250
if you want you can discuss you can divide you can split the cost and
251
that is splitting the cost the the act of I pay
252
for my share you pay for your share you pay for
253
your share we are splitting the cost a very lovely idiom
254
here go dutch go dutch it means go to germany no no no go to netherlands no
255
go dutch means each person pays for his or her half
256
or not half for his or her part that's a lovely idiom to go dutch now
257
if you want to go dutch you can decide now after this you have to stand up
258

273
that you may come across when you are at a restaurant
274
or when you're planning to go to a restaurant or when you're paying for the bill.

练习建议
为了提高您的英语口语能力，我们建议您在观看视频时进行英语影子跟读（shadowspeak）。首先，您可以根据视频的语速和语调，模仿视频中的对话。尽量与视频中的发音保持一致，这将帮助您改善发音和语言流利度。由于视频内容涵盖了许多与餐厅相关的实用短语，您可以分别练习每个短语，重复多次，直到您能自信地运用它们。
此外，选择您感兴趣的短语，尝试在日常生活中使用它们。例如，您可以在朋友聚餐时，运用“预订桌位”与朋友进行对话。在使用这些短语的同时，您也能更好地融入社交场合，提升英语口语练习的实用性和趣味性。
通过坚持这样的影子跟读练习，您将能在餐厅及其他环境中自然流利地使用英语，让用餐体验更加愉快。
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。
