☕ Today’s Discussion: Real-Life English at the Café! 🗣️✨
Tonight, we’ll step into different café situations and practice speaking naturally — just like in real life! 🌟 💡 Here’s the plan: ⸻ 🔹 Breakout Room 1: Ordering & Customizing Your Drink Customer: Hi there, could I get a cappuccino, please? Barista: Of course. Would you like whole milk, skim milk, or almond milk? Customer: Almond milk, please. Do you have sugar-free syrups? Barista: Yes, we have sugar-free vanilla and caramel. Customer: Great, I’ll take vanilla, but could you make it half-sweet? Barista: Absolutely. Would you like it for here or to go? Customer: To go, please. And could you also warm up a chocolate croissant for me? Barista: Sure thing. Anything else? Customer: No, that’s all. Thank you. ⸻ 🔹 Breakout Room 2: Payment & Clarification Customer: Hi, do you accept both cash and card? Barista: Yes, but we prefer contactless card payments. Customer: Perfect. I’ll pay by card. Can I also ask — does the chicken sandwich come with fries? Barista: The sandwich comes with a small salad, but you can add fries for $2 extra. Customer: Okay, I’ll take the fries. Could you also make the sandwich without onions? Barista: Not a problem. Anything to drink with that? Customer: Just water, please. Can you split the bill? My friend and I are paying separately. Barista: Of course. Please tap your card here. ⸻ 🔹 Breakout Room 3: Small Talk with the Barista Customer: It smells so good in here. Do you bake your pastries fresh every day? Barista: Yes, we bake them every morning. The muffins usually sell out before noon. Customer: No wonder! I usually come here to study. Do many students do the same? Barista: Yes, especially in the evenings. That’s why we offer free Wi-Fi and extra plugs for laptops. Customer: That’s great. What’s your favorite drink on the menu? Barista: I’d say the chai latte — it has a nice spicy flavor. Customer: Sounds good. I might try it next time. ⸻ 🔹 Breakout Room 4: Handling a Mistake / Problem Solving Customer: Excuse me, I think this is the wrong drink. I ordered a caramel latte, but this tastes like mocha.
