00:00So, let's see. Okay, there we go. There we have it.
00:04So, in this case, David, we have a small map with different places, and it's an exercise related to a conversation activator.
00:13So, we got the opportunity to learn new language patterns to give indications and to give directions.
00:21So, we have conversation activator. It says, with a partner, change the conversation model, ask for a recommendation for today, tonight, dinner, breakfast, or lunch.
00:35Recommend a restaurant from the map, and then change roles.
00:39So, we're going to start by discussing a simple question here, which is rather useful here.
00:44So, how often do you receive a restaurant recommendation from your friends or from anybody else, right?
00:57So, do you usually receive recommendations to visit other restaurants, David?
01:02And if so, do you remember what was the last recommendation that you received?
01:07Eh, maybe, eh, twice per week. I receive recommendations from my friends, but it's not, it's not often.
01:23Okay, excellent, very good. So, the, what was the last good recommendation that you received? Do you remember?
01:29Yes, the chair, I remember, I think, is, it was the, last week.
01:40Mm-hmm.
01:43I received the recommendations, um, some, some restaurant.
01:49And, near, from, near, from my house, near.
01:57Okay, excellent, very good.
01:59So, that's the point, and, how often do you give a restaurant recommendation to your friends, or to people that you know?
02:07Do you find yourself constantly in this situation, like, whenever you're asked for different, uh, places to visit?
02:15What do you think?
02:18Well, in this case, I don't give, uh, many recommendations.
02:23Mm-hmm.
02:24For example, if you, if you, if you came across, if you came across to a person that it's visiting the country, you know, that this person is not from here,
02:35it could either be from the United States, or from Europe, or from any other continent,
02:40and he or she is visiting Mexico City, or the country, so, what is the most, uh, recommended location to have dinner with his family that you could give to this person?
02:56So, what is, like, the, the ideal place for a tourist to visit, in your, in your city, for example, right?
03:04Um, well, in my case, I will recommend a, in, in, in a restaurant, in the city, when I leave.
03:18Yes.
03:19For example, I don't know, um, La Marquesa.
03:22Okay, okay, okay, that's, that sounds good.
03:26So, what's so special about that restaurant?
03:28Is it, like, Mediterranean food?
03:31So, what kind of food does it sell?
03:33Mediterranean food, uh, Chinese food, Mexican food, what kind of food does it provide?
03:40They provide, uh, Mexican food, traditional, uh, local food here in the region.
03:46Okay, that's good, excellent, very good.
03:50Do you know what's, what's their special dish?
03:52What, what's their speciality that they offer in that restaurant?
03:57Mm-hmm.
03:58Uh, uh, the dish, the traditional dish is, uh, the rabbit.
04:05Oh, rabbit, okay, excellent, very good.
04:09So, that sounds, that sounds good.
04:13So, and what about this restaurant?
04:15Is it expensive?
04:16Is it cheap?
04:17Uh, is it regularly visited?
04:20By a lot of people, so how is it?
04:22How would you describe this restaurant, which is called La Marquesa?
04:27So, what do you think?
04:32Well, I think it's cheaper.
04:33Mm-hmm.
04:34And it's a regular cost.
04:38In the restaurant, there are, uh, many options that you can, uh,
04:44uh, that you can eat.
04:49Mm-hmm.
04:50Yeah.
04:50Yeah.
04:51Many options that you can choose?
04:53Choose, yeah.
04:54Okay.
04:55Yeah.
04:55That's good.
04:57Excellent.
04:58So, what's the average per person in, referring to coast, to the coast of the place?
05:11You know, like, how much money would a person pay for, let's say, a dinner with, uh, with
05:17their family?
05:20Well, normally for a good person, uh, you can pay around the, uh, uh, five, five hundred,
05:32five hundred for the person.
05:35Five hundred and forty per person?
05:39Five hundred per person.
05:42Okay.
05:43Uh, okay.
05:43Five hundred per, per person.
05:45Okay.
05:45That's, that's good.
05:47Well, that's, that's a good price.
05:49You know, that's, seems fair, because there are some places that are quite expensive.
05:54You know, I mean, there are some places that seem to be, like, quite expensive in the city,
05:59and it's, uh, it's not always the best option whenever you're looking for something, something,
06:04uh, accessible, something affordable to share with your family, you know, especially when
06:09you are, uh, low in, um, in a budget, you know, especially when you're a tourist, because
06:15whenever you're a tourist, you are limited in certain aspects of your budget, and you're
06:21always looking for the best options to share with your family, with your friends, you know,
06:26so that's the point.
06:27So, in this case, it's a good, uh, it's a good idea to have someone, as a friend or a
06:34person, that knows the area, that knows the city, that could actually give you some excellent
06:39recommendations.
06:41Uh, uh, now, it is very common that in cities or in towns, they are, uh, using the, um, the
06:49concept of, uh, artistic food, you know, like, they are selling food, but with a particular,
06:55uh, presentation, like, it's not, it's not consuming for the sake of it, but rather, they
07:03sell different options for the customer to, to, to access, or to have, uh, but these options,
07:12or these food, are presented in a very fancy, luxurious, and artistic way, you know?
07:19Have you seen those options, uh, David?
07:27Um, I don't know how to answer this question, teacher.
07:31Mm-hmm.
07:31Well, like, uh, it, um, it comes to my mind, for example, these options, whenever you go
07:37to a bar, and, uh, they sell beer, but presented in a very, uh, artistic way, you know, as if
07:45it were, a very special drink, or a very special beverage, that they even prepare it in front
07:52of your eyes, or they even make it with a particular, uh, uh, eye-catching, or attractive
07:58process, that you can even see the bartender doing some, um, fancy juggles with the cups,
08:06and with the, with the jars, and, uh, and the beer itself, or the coffee, you know, that
08:13sometimes, sometimes the coffee, they make, like, uh, little drawings, little attractive
08:19drawings, on the surface of the liquid, you know, the, of the, of the coffee itself, and
08:25that seems to be very attractive to people, you know, that catch, that actually catches
08:30their attention, and, uh, people are willing to spend lots of money on those aspects of,
08:36uh, of consuming this food that is presented in a very artistic way, uh,
08:43which is another experience that, that goes beyond the flavor, you know, because sometimes
08:48whenever you look an option to eat or to drink, you're always looking for, for the flavor,
08:52you know, the flavor and the price, that's what you're usually looking for, but now, you
08:58have, you have a new concept, which is the artistic food, you know, the artistic food, where you
09:06can actually have, uh, your food or your dish presented in a very artistic way, you know,
09:14let's see if we've got a video here of how this, uh, concept is becoming, it's becoming
09:22really popular, and people always feel attracted to, to this, you know, that, uh, even sometimes
09:35there are some, um, there are some, uh, chefs that can make, uh, sculptures of chocolate or
09:43sometimes even with ice, you know, so it's, it's rather impressive to see, to see what they
09:49do, let me see, here we have, let me show you this video, this, this, uh, short video so
10:04that we can see a little bit of the context that we, that we have on these new restaurants,
10:11or even, for example, pizza, you know, pizza, there are some restaurants that they sell pizza
10:16in a very fancy and artistic way, that you can actually see how, uh, pizza is prepared, how pizza
10:25is made, and, uh, and restaurants charge good money for this, you know, they have excellent chefs
10:32preparing and making these dishes, so it's a good option for, for that, uh, tourist that comes
10:40to, to, to get a little more knowledge of our city, you know, so let's see.
10:50Well, we're sitting here in Little Beat Table, uh, it's our restaurant.
10:54Well, we're sitting here in Little Beat Table, uh, it's our restaurant, and, and we, you know,
10:59take pride in helping children. In this case, we're doing an art program where the kids are using food,
11:05uh, to make art, and it's just a wonderful program. You know, I, I do think that food can be a medium
11:13in which art is expressed. Um, obviously, that's what I do for a living. I express, um, art through food,
11:22um, my own art. Uh, food is an art form, uh, all different, just not only the actual elements of food,
11:30vegetables and meats, and the, and all the different proteins, uh, but the putting together
11:36of those elements and developing, that's an art form. Like any other art where you take raw materials
11:41and you put them together with good solid techniques, what's more beautiful than a perfect
11:45piece of asparagus or broccoli or a piece of fish, and it's a simplistic form. It's just pure art.
11:53I really think that art is alive in all different areas, but for us watching, you know,
11:59chefs and putting together different dishes and using all different ingredients to make a beautiful
12:05dish, um, we're able to see art in many different ways. Food is very sensory and a lot of people on
12:12the spectrum have sensory issues, so it's crunch and taste and really as you're creating a dish
12:17or doing something, you're always trying to figure out the flavor profile and what you're,
12:22what you're looking to accomplish. So for us at Popper, it's not about game over with an autism
12:28diagnosis. It's definitely game on. That's how we came to this freeform music and art therapy
12:34program that you guys are going to teach that. We're taking cross sections of the fruits and
12:39vegetables, and we're using them as stamps. I think, I think the kids, many of them have an
12:45aversion to fruits and vegetables, so in a way this is the first time that many of them have touched
12:49those things. So it's a sensory experience, it's a creative experience, um, it's just another way
12:56for them to express themselves and another way for them to open themselves up to new things.
13:11So that we have this video, right, David? So what did you understand from this video? Did you see
13:41how we have, we have now new options to discover food? Yes, I think so, teacher. And they have
13:50opportunity to have a relationship, uh, with, uh, with the vegetables, with the, uh, with the food, uh,
14:00uh, and express, express them to these, uh, things. Mm-hmm. Just with this. Like a therapy for them, right?
14:14Yeah, that's, that's correct, you know, and, uh, well, in this case, uh, food is an option to create art. Well,
14:20in this case, we see that they can actually make expositions and some show-ups using these, uh, creative
14:28elements, but also food is generally made with, uh, like, in a very artistic form, uh, to sell.
14:38So, for example, here,
14:42on this video, they show us that, uh, let me see,
14:46we've got an option here. I've seen another video here where people would actually made
14:58would actually made some new, um, recipes,
15:17and usually this food is, it's commonly sold at very high prices, you know, at a very high
15:24rate. So, we have artisanal food. Let me see.
15:33So, we've got some,
15:44some videos here, but, uh, they're generally,
15:48they're generally in Spanish.
15:54So, this one shows us a little bit of a different culture.
16:02That, uh, well, in this case, they show us that
16:06some people can make
16:08a living out of it, even in countries like in Egypt.
16:11So, let's, let's see how it is.
16:17How we have this one, which is also very interesting. Let's check it out a little bit.
16:24There I go.
16:43.
21:46So, as we can see here on this video, we have this organization that gives the opportunity
21:52for two women in Egypt that they can actually join this project to work like in the kitchens
22:00of this organization, you know, so that they can find a way to provide a way to provide
22:09a life to their families, you know, to find a new opportunity, especially in these countries
22:13like Egypt and in the Middle East, where generally the cultures are so restrictive in regards
22:18of women's rights, you know, so what do you think about this initiative, David, that have you seen
22:25anything similar in your country, like with a particular organization or with artisanal food
22:33that could be sold that could be sold that could be sold at a certain place, what do you think?
22:39Well, this is the first time that I see these things, but I think it's a good option because
22:48they are doing a good kind of disabled, like for people to become a lot more independent by doing something
23:14that they like. But in this case, what catches my attention is that they actually say that
23:20they find a very, a very positive, a very positive working procedure because they are from different
23:33cultures, you know, not only from Egypt, but there are also some people from other countries that we can see here.
23:39And these type of mixed cultures, this type of mixed, this type of mixed activities that they're doing
23:54in regard of food, it helps them to create a more positive working environment, you know, because I think
24:01that's, that usually happens when you have people working in your business, but these people are from
24:07different cultures or different countries. They put aside their cultural limitations or their cultural,
24:15their cultural boundaries so that they can have a better interaction whenever it comes to, to find
24:24a new opportunities, you know, and that's what we are seeing here. They're from different cultures and
24:29they don't have like the common restrictions that they would usually have in their, in their own culture, you know,
24:37in, in their own, in their own country because they are exchanging. They are exchanging points of view,
24:47they are exchanging recipes, they are sharing a workspace mixed with different cultures, with different
24:55people from other countries. And this actually helps them to put aside all of their differences,
25:02their own, from their own, from their own culture and any other, for example, how do they say, like any other,
25:15any other restrictive limitation of their different cultures that they have, so that they can work for
25:23a common well, you know, for a common benefit. So I think that's, that's very positive and I think that it
25:29should be done in more countries, in different cultures, so that people can learn how to interact
25:35better and how to put aside those differences. I think that's an advantage of, of mixing cultures,
25:41in different cultures, in different cultures, in different cultures, and share with them all these traditional things that they are doing.
26:03That's true. You know, I have seen that myself even, you know, I have seen that myself, that whenever you work
26:12in a place or in an organization with people from different countries, like there's a, like a more
26:18positive, uh, like a more positive interaction, you know, because sometimes whenever you have a job
26:26with, uh, people with your, that share your own culture, sometimes there are so many differences
26:32in regard of egos, or, or position, or, uh, the type of, uh, activities that you are assigned, or
26:41what hierarchy is the one that guides the others, you know, or what hierarchy prevails over the other
26:48people. But in this case, when you, when you exchange the, the cultural aspect, when you
26:55put more people to work together, and they share cultural differences, they have a more positive
27:03outcome in their activities, because they're not working, they're not working to be, or to, or to see,
27:13or to prove who's the best, who's the best out there, because they're all from different cultures,
27:18and they're, they're working for the same, for the same purpose, and for the same benefit.
27:23So they, uh, it's a lot easier for them to put aside those differences, and to respect each other
27:31in, in, in an easier way, you know. I think that's very positive, and that should be done more often.
27:36I think it's a good point, it's a good time to mix cultures, to start
27:42interacting more with other countries, in terms of, uh, in terms of working force, in terms of,
27:48uh, professional aspects, so that people can put aside those limitations, so people can put aside
27:57those, um, how can we say, there is a very particular word for that, they can put aside those, uh, cliches,
28:04you know, those, um, stereotypes, that's the word that I was looking for, that they can put aside
28:11those stereotypes, so that they can work, and learn more from each other, I think that's very positive,
28:15you know. So that's the point here. So we have here, like, a conversation activator, so with a
28:24partner, change the conversation model, ask for a recommendation for today, tonight, uh, dinner,
28:30breakfast, or lunch. Recommend a restaurant from the map, then change roles. So in this case,
28:36we have different places, we have, uh, on different streets as well, we have Monroe Street, Pike Street,
28:44Taylor Street, Lincoln Street, and, uh, different places. For example, we have the World Cafe, Roberto's
28:52Restaurant, the Hotel, Cineplex, Pasta Palace, Foods of Many Nations, Meat Lovers Only, and, uh, well,
29:01where supposedly, on this conversation, we, we shall start by, uh, describing from this point,
29:08you are here, which is the hotel. So in this case, for example, we could complete this conversation
29:15with different examples. Could you recommend a restaurant for, let's say, uh, for, uh, Italian food,
29:23you know, for example? And then we could say, sure, what are you in the mood for? I don't know,
29:28maybe pasta or pizza. I'm new to the city, you know, or I'm new in the city, or I'm a great fan
29:37of Italian food. Well, we can create different interactions. Actually, there's a great place
29:42nearby. It's cold, and we pick a place from here, for example, in this case that we're talking about
29:48Italian food, I would actually choose Pasta Palace, which is the one that seems more, um, related to
29:56Italian food. Actually, there's a great place nearby. It's called Pasta Palace. Would you like directions?
30:04And we can continue the conversation from there. We can create new interactions. For example,
30:10would you like directions? We could actually say,
30:12Yes, I would. Yes, I would. I'm actually, I'm actually planning a dinner with my family,
30:26and we would love a good Italian recommendation, you know? And we can put a new question here.
30:35What's the speciality of that place? Yeah? So, you can create new interactions, and you can continue
30:45the conversation. So, that's the point. So, we're going to practice a little bit. So, a letter A and
30:51letter B. So, in this case, where I'm going to begin, David, and you continue. So, could you recommend a
30:58restaurant for trying different foods of different countries? Sure. What are you in the world for?
31:13I don't know. Maybe Mediterranean food. I'm a big fan of Mexican food, for example.
31:19Actually, there's a great place nearby. It's called a foot of many nations. Would you like directions?
31:33Okay. Remember that the pronunciation of the verb with ed are, sorry, it's cold, you know? It's cold.
31:40So, would you like directions? Right? Excellent. Very good. So, we have, so you see. So, from there,
31:47we can continue the interactions. For example, yes, I would, please. I would like to know
31:52the speciality from that place and what's the average cost for that restaurant. Could you tell
31:58me a little bit more of information? Sure. The restaurant is nearby meat lovers only in front of this
32:13restaurant. Excellent. Very good. You can also use the streets or the avenues as a reference. For
32:18example, you could actually say, uh, this restaurant is an excellent option as it is located
32:24on the corner of Pike Street, right across from meat lovers only restaurant, which is another excellent
32:29restaurant. If you, if you appetize a hamburger, you know, as we can see here that meat lovers only
32:36has a hamburger on its, uh, on its roof, you know? So, that's, that's, uh, another option, another
32:43interaction. Excellent. Very good. So, let's try with another example here. So, could you recommend a
32:49restaurant, could you recommend a restaurant for, um, sharing a good coffee with a family or with friends?
33:05Yes, we have the option in World Cafe. World Cafe. World Cafe. That's good, World Cafe.
33:14And then, it's, it's in Lincoln Street, in front of the hotel.
33:20Mm-hmm. And, uh, you continue to go ahead
33:24I could treat, and then you have to turn, turn left, uh, in the corner you can find the World Cafe.
33:36Mm-hmm. Excellent. Very good.
33:41So, that's the point. So, that's, that's, that's what it is. So, okay, add the next question. Would you
33:48like directions? Remember to add the last question? Last question. The last one? That's the one that
34:00says, would you like directions? Uh, would you like directions? Yes, uh, yes, please, I would,
34:07you know? And also, I would like, I would like to know what's the, what's the speciality from that
34:14place. Could you tell me? Yes, sure. There is a very popular coffee here. It's a tradition, uh, of the region.
34:26They have, uh, many, uh, many different options to eat, uh, a pancake or some daties in, in this place.
34:38So, for me, it's a good recommendation if you want to go with, uh, the family to have a break plus,
34:47or maybe, uh, plus the time in, in the afternoon. Mm-hmm. To spend, to spend the time, to spend time
34:55in the afternoon, right? So, that's, that's the expression. Excellent. Very good. So, that we have,
35:01let's try another option. Could you recommend a restaurant where we can actually have a good dinner
35:07and also to watch a movie and also watch a movie? Yes, of course, we have the option near from the hotel.
35:22And the first, the first, the first, the first option is Roberto restaurant. You can find, uh,
35:29uh, different dishes in, in this place around, um, around the, uh, like on the street and back street
35:42on the corner in from the Zineplex. And also in the Zineplex, you can, you can watch the, uh,
35:51preferred movie. This, uh, theater, uh, uh, next to Pasta Place. Mm-hmm. Pasta Palace.
36:06Pasta Palace. Mm-hmm. Excellent. Very good. So, where, what are the kind of movies that are presented
36:12on this, uh, movie theater? Could you tell me a little bit more of information?
36:15Well, we have, uh, different, uh, movies in the, in the detour. Mm-hmm. And for example,
36:24we have, uh, of the premium movie. It, uh, it, uh, it's, uh, premier in this, in this week.
36:33Uh, we have, uh, horror movies, drama movies, and action movies. Mm-hmm.
36:41Please. Excellent. Very good. Well, that's, that's a good option. Thank you. So, that we have, uh, for
36:47example, your, um, could you recommend, could you recommend a restaurant for a person that actually
36:56loves eating meat? You know, for example, hamburgers, pizza, or steaks. We're looking for a good option
37:04to have a steak, as my family loves steaks and grilled, and grilled vegetables, you know. So,
37:10we were looking for a kind of restaurant that offers many options related to, to meat. So, um,
37:20so continue, David. Okay, and would you like directions? Yes, please. I would like directions
37:27so that we can know how to get to the place, and if it's possible, could you provide, could you provide
37:33the coast range that this place offers? Coast range? Yeah, the coast, the coast or the price range.
37:46Ah, the coast or the price range. Mm-hmm. Okay. Well, we have the meat loggers only, and on the
37:53pipe street, you mean go ahead, uh, on the pipe street, and then you, in the corner, you can find
38:01this restaurant. And there are many different, uh, dishes here. Eh, um, uh, different hamburgers,
38:11you can find them. And for example, we have the chicken burger and the meat loggers burger. And the price,
38:19uh, the ranch price is average, uh, 300, uh, per person. Mm-hmm. Excellent. Very good. Thank you very much.
38:31So that's, that's the point. So that's, that's how we can see, so we can create different interactions
38:37when it comes to discussing this. You know, it's really important that whenever we have
38:42this type of, uh, interactions and, and questions on the street, that, uh, we try to be as concise
38:49as possible so that we can be clear in our ideas to provide, uh, the most concise information and the
38:55most logical direction so that we do not trouble the tourists at the moment of finding this place or,
39:02um, or, or providing the appropriate and, and clear information in regard of, of, um,
39:10what are the options that are available in these types of restaurants, right? So that's excellent
39:17and very good. So that's the point. As we can see here, we can recycle new, uh, some expressions related
39:23to some propositions such as the following ones that we have here, some related with locations such as
39:30around the corner, across the street, across from, you know, across from needs and now to be followed with,
39:37like, to choose from, from the list. You can add to any other place to complete the expression across
39:43from the Roberto's restaurant, across from the World Cafe, across from the Cineplex, across from the
39:51Pasta Palace. We can always refer to a place that, uh, could be located on one of these streets, or we
39:59could also add to the expression near, you know, near Cineplex, near the World Cafe, or down the street
40:06from, that actually gives you further and more specific reference, down the street from, uh, the World Cafe,
40:15you know, down the street from the hotel, down the street from Taylor Street, we can have different
40:21options. Or between, between, between Pike Street and Lincoln Street, you know, just right on the corner
40:29between the World Cafe and the Cineplex. You can always use those expressions, uh, to give indications
40:36and to provide a point of reference. Or on the right side or on the left side of the street, you know,
40:43that's also another possibility. So it's always used to create new interactions, new, uh, conversations,
40:52to see how much we can improvise and how much information we could provide, because this is a
40:58very common situation that we're going to face daily in different, in different interactions in our,
41:04in our English journey, you know, because whenever we have a conversation with, uh, with new people,
41:10we are going to need to, to, uh, like to make a reference to new places, to new places to provide
41:17information, to ask for directions, and sometimes to also give recommendations or to, to accept or to
41:26decline invitations, you know. For example, if you, if you know that a, a certain place is not good enough
41:33or that it doesn't provide a good service, you need to know what options you have to also
41:39provide that information to your, uh, to, to the tourist, you know, or to your client or to your
41:46friend in particular, so that you don't give like, um, um, um, uh, a negative option, you know, uh,
41:54an inappropriate, um, an inappropriate, uh, option to eat, you know, so it's always important how to do that.
42:03So that's the point.
42:07And as many options as we have, the better, right? So here we have a new dialogue, you know,
42:12order from a menu. We're going to see how are these interactions, but we're going to watch
42:18a scene here. We're going to watch a video here of, uh, of an interaction in, uh, with two friends
42:25asking for recommendations. So here we go.
42:36Let's change the conversation model.
42:38Could you recommend a restaurant for lunch?
42:41Certainly. What are you in the mood for?
42:44I don't know. Maybe a salad? I'm not very hungry.
42:47Actually, there's a great place nearby. It's called Roberto's. What do you like directions?
42:51Let's change the conversation model again. Don't stop. Give directions to the restaurant.
43:07Say as much as you can.
43:10Could you recommend a restaurant for dinner tonight?
43:12Yes, I can. What are you in the mood for?
43:15I don't know. Maybe some pasta?
43:17Actually, there's a great place nearby. It's called Pasta Palace. Would you like directions?
43:24Yes, thanks.
43:27We're here on Pipe Street. Leave the hotel and turn left.
43:32Pasta Palace is down the street on the left. It's between Lincoln Street and Taylor Street.
43:38Thanks so much.
43:39You're welcome.
43:47We're here on Pipe Street.
43:53Okay, so as we can see here, it is always important to be concise.
43:57As you could see here, it's always a good idea to maintain or to keep a good voice pitch,
44:04a good voice tone, so that we can be clear enough in our indications, in the information that we provide,
44:12and always to be polite as possible, you know, because sometimes we forget a little bit,
44:18because we may be quite used to always speaking informally, because of the daily interactions with
44:28friends and so on. But it's always important that we keep a certain respect in our interactions,
44:35and an appropriate vocabulary and grammar, and a good grammar, of course, which is also rather important.
44:43So that's, those are the recommendations, you know. As we can see, this could seem as basic
44:49conversations, but it's always important to see how we should maintain the intonation, so as to keep
44:57people, so as to keep people feeling comfortable with us, and to provide them with the clearest information,
45:06you know, with the clearest information as possible, so that's, and that's really important.
45:11So in this case, we've got a dialogue of an interaction in a restaurant, so let's, let's watch a little bit about it.
45:18Read and listen to someone ordering dinner from a menu.
45:31I'll have the pasta for my main course, please. What does that come with?
45:36It comes with soup or a salad.
45:39What kind of soup is there? There's tomato soup or chicken soup.
45:43I'd like the salad, please. Certainly. And to drink?
45:48Water, please.
45:52Listen again and repeat in the pauses. Then practice the conversation model with a partner.
46:01I'll have the pasta for my main course, please. What does that come with?
46:13It comes with soup or a salad.
46:17What kind of soup is there?
46:21What kind of soup is there?
46:25There's tomato soup or chicken soup.
46:32I'd like the salad, please.
46:34I'd like the salad, please.
46:38Certainly. And to drink?
46:44Water, please.
46:45Water, please.
47:03So there we have it right there, you know?
47:05So as we can see here, the expression certainly gives you a more polite way to continue this expression, right?
47:15So do you have any questions with the interactions or with the vocabulary, David, in this case?
47:19I'm not sure.
47:21I'm not sure.
47:23Okay. Excellent. Very good.
47:25Well, yesterday I sent you a reading.
47:27We're gonna check that reading for homework so that you can read a little bit,
47:31which is related to healthy habits and healthy food, you know?
47:35So which is very interesting to read.
47:37So we can practice a little bit of that.
47:41What is today?
47:41Today is Thursday.
47:43So we can practice a little bit more of that on Monday.
47:46And so I need you to to read a little bit of that reading for this weekend.
47:53So you can check out the vocabulary, the expressions and the grammar that it contains.
47:58So that will be it for today.
48:00So the next week we continue practicing with this dialogue and some new interactions
48:05so that you can see how much of a conversation you can extend it
48:10to create new possibilities in your conversations and to have more options
48:16at the moment of improvising, right?
48:18So that's gonna be it for today.
48:20Do you have any questions?
48:22No, Richard. Thank you.
48:23That's good. Excellent. Very good, David.
48:25So I really hope that you have a great weekend and I'll see you around on Monday, right?
48:30So see you soon. Thank you. Have a good day.
48:33See you soon. Bye-bye.
