01:32you know it's for them like another opportunity to short time with their loved ones you know despite
01:37the fact that they're not uh they're not here anymore but but it's a nice celebration so do you
01:44know of any other country that has a similar celebration to the one that it's celebrated in mexico
01:51like anywhere in the world
01:57but i think like uh halloween it's uh tends to be a little bit more commercial right i mean it
02:12doesn't have like so that uh deep meaning you know but okay excellent very good so that we have
02:20different points of these celebrations you know different uh different meanings actually there are some
02:27really nice videos of how these uh of how this uh celebration is
02:36is done in mexico city and uh and well i mean different states of mexico they have different traditions
02:43they have different uh tributes they make so it's really nice to see how this works
02:49so in this case we have uh today we have a couple of questions to discuss these are the questions that
02:55that i sent you yesterday so it's really important that you that you send me your uh
03:00written uh answers right but we're going to discuss a little bit of this
03:05questions so we've got question number one that says uh it is related to food and restaurants you know
03:12receiving a good restaurant recommendation it's always important because well it's an opportunity
03:19to get to know a new place to get somewhere somewhere else new to visit in the city
03:27so in this case we have number one how can recommending a good restaurant impact someone's dining
03:37experience so we've got these questions to discuss so this question means of what is like the
03:44importance for some people and for some customers to have a good restaurant recommendation
03:49to have a good dining experience so what do you think of this of number one
03:57what do you think of this of number one okay okay the dishes they offer
04:14okay okay excellent so what do you mean by the experience of the restaurant
04:44okay okay okay excellent so in this case did you ever receive like did you ever receive a recommendation
05:03of which you completely regretted that's uh let's say like a recommendation that you didn't like at all
05:14did you ever receive a recommendation that you completely regretted of
05:21like for example a recommendation that you hit that you actually received from a friend
05:27in regard of a restaurant that you ended up saying you know what i wouldn't have come here
05:33because the service is so bad or they treated me wrongly so did you ever have an experience uh like that
05:44um
05:50um
05:54um
06:02um
06:10um
06:10um
06:14okay exam very good so what was the problem with that with that recommendation or with
06:26that restaurant that you remember what was like the bad experience that you that you had
06:44you can say they didn't they didn't have or they didn't offer a good service remember that you're
07:03describing something in the past so you have to use the symbol pass mm-hmm okay so didn't you feel
07:14comfortable okay well that's very common these days sometimes mm-hmm tell me
07:33mm-hmm okay
07:45well sometimes people actually some workers in restaurants they justify that they give a bad
07:52service because they have a lot of work to do or sometimes they're stressed or even sometimes
07:58are not paid enough you know so that's a problem with waiters and wait and waitresses that they say
08:04you know what I came here to to work in this restaurants because I need the money I need a
08:09job but it's not enough and for that reason I don't do my job correctly or properly and I don't I don't
08:16and I don't give the appropriate service to the customer but that's really important I mean it's
08:22really important that restaurants keep waitresses and waiters motivated so that they can offer a good
08:31service you know so that's that's the point did you ever work as a waiter David and yeah mm-hmm it's a
08:44tough experience right there's a lot of work to do
08:52that's correct excellent break it so that we have here for example let's see we have well how
09:17recommending a good restaurant impact someone's dining experience so in this case let's make
09:24like an addition to question number one so what was what was the best recommendation that you ever
09:33gave to a friend in terms of visiting a restaurant so do you remember what was like the the best
09:43recommendation that you have ever given to a person and that at the end of the day this person have
09:49said you know what this place that you recommended me was completely excellent so do you remember yes it
09:57was for the food mm-hmm so do you remember during the name of the restaurant or how did you know that
10:05restaurant or yes why did you recommend it yeah the restaurant at the name of the restaurant is Blue Rio
10:15they they have they are experts in the meals mm-hmm and they have a good buffet there okay
10:35excellent very good so what's the type of food that is served in that restaurant is it like Italian
10:41food or Mediterranean food or what kind of food is there and like a Brazilian food okay all Brazilian
10:48food that's that sounds special right excellent well I never had it myself I never tried Brazilian
10:54food myself but some people say that it's something special so how was Brazilian food is it similar to
11:02Mexican food or to any other food in the world it's different but for example in the meal could be
11:10similar like in Mexico the speciality there is a meal that special a sazon or a special ingredients
11:24mm-hmm special seasonings mm-hmm it's like I don't know how to say that now which one sorry
11:34spacious oh seasonings yes seasonings seasonings okay excellent breaker so that's that's your
11:46recommendation and how and what about the price I mean is it expensive or how is the price range
11:52well the price is accessible mm-hmm because they have the opportunity to pay all menu mm-hmm like a buffet
12:10it is it's not expensive okay excellent brilliant so do you remember how did you find this restaurant
12:22restaurant do you remember where did you actually find it and how did you how did you get to know
12:28this restaurant yes for recommendation of all of us okay excellent so it was a recommendation as well you know
12:40was it a recommendation from one of your friends
12:50was it a recommendation from one of your friends
13:10So, let's go.
13:40Let's go.
14:10Yes, no worry, that's okay, and I've heard that there has been some thunderstorms around
14:38the center of the city, so that's good.
14:41So, well, in this case, we have different aspects.
14:45Well, I remember that one of the best recommendations that I have received is for a pizza place called
14:52Peter Piper Pizza, you know, which was like a playground for little kids, but they also
15:01offered a great menu in pizzas, and it wasn't that expensive, you know, but the menu was
15:06delicious, and, well, the place was, you know, a very good location, and they offered a wide
15:17variety of flavors in pizzas, you know, so that was something really delicious in that
15:23case.
15:25Well, in that case, we have a question number two here.
15:29We have, what role do personal recommendations play in discovering new favorite restaurants,
15:35you know, like, like, what is the best, uh, the best way in which you can find, uh, new places
15:43to eat, uh, David?
15:44What's, like, the strategy here?
15:47Well, I think we have the opportunity to, uh, new restaurant, when we go out with, uh, with
16:07the family, with some friends, and looking for, uh, good food, looking a good experience in
16:16the city, with new recommendations, which sometimes, mm-hmm, tell me, which, which
16:26sometimes, uh, we only try to, to, to taste a new, a new restaurant, or a new food, or have
16:43the opportunity to, to eat there.
16:48That's correct, you know, well, sometimes it's, uh, sometimes it's really complicated
16:53to find a good recommendation, especially because, uh, well, I, I think that's what everyone
17:00is looking for, you know, a good place to eat, a good place to have a good time with their
17:04families, and sometimes there are some good places, but unfortunately, with, uh, social networks
17:11and the diffusion that we have these days with information, sometimes, most of these places
17:17tend to be really crowded, uh, there's a lot of people eating in there, and sometimes,
17:22despite the fact they actually offer a good service, it's, uh, quite hard to have to find,
17:27to find a good area, you know, with, uh, with less people, with little people, to eat
17:33there, and to have a good time, so usually, these days, everywhere is really crowded, so for that
17:40reason, a lot of people, uh, uh, decide to go for the option of, uh, eating at home, you know,
17:47or just simply ordering, ordering some option from, from the Uber Eats, or from, uh, from any other
17:55delivery service, so that's, that's a problem these days, in general, but I think that whenever
18:02you come across to, uh, to a good recommendation, either given from a friend, or an option that
18:08you have found from the social network, it's, it's fantastic, you know, it's something that,
18:14that you really enjoy, and then you end up recommending this place, and at the end of the
18:19day, that's beneficial for, uh, for the business itself, because more people recommend it, and
18:25eventually, they have more visitors, so that's the point in number two, perfect, so that we
18:30have, uh, here in number three, how can giving food restaurant recommendations support a local
18:37business and communities, so what do you think that it's the, uh, importance of, uh, of having
18:45good, uh, good restaurants and good places to eat for the community?
18:49Uh, well, according to, uh, our experience with some restaurants, we can give to the new,
19:05to the new, uh, people, the new customers, a good recommendation, but I think, in a, in this
19:13case, uh, it's according for all experience in that restaurant, okay, well, that's, that's
19:23good, uh, well, I think for a community and for a town, uh, there are many good points,
19:30there are many good points in advantage of, uh, having a good restaurant in the city, because
19:34that could actually attract more visitors and tourists, and, uh, and a bigger income to
19:40the, uh, economy of the town, so in your city, uh, David, uh, could you mention, uh, a restaurant
19:49that draws a lot of people and, uh, receives a good income coming from visitors or from tourists?
19:57Like, what's, what's, like, the biggest restaurant that, that draws more the attention from tourists?
20:06In a city?
20:07Mm-hmm.
20:08Yes.
20:09Mm-hmm.
20:10I'm not sure, but could be, um, a, um, seafood restaurant.
20:14Mm-hmm.
20:15And also, we have some, um, um, some restaurant that, they make, uh, like, uh, meals, carnes
20:26asadas and, and other things.
20:29Mm-hmm.
20:30Like grilled meat?
20:31Grilled meat?
20:32Mm-hmm.
20:33Mm-hmm.
20:34Okay.
20:35Yeah.
20:36Well, I think those are very famous, you know?
20:37I mean, a lot of people look for those.
20:39Mm-hmm.
20:40Real meat, uh, uh, uh, the name is, uh, cambalache.
20:45Okay.
20:46Yes.
20:47Yes.
20:48Yes.
20:49If I'm not mistaken, the meaning of that, of that word, uh, it's like, uh, like an exchange,
20:54you know?
20:55Mm-hmm.
20:56Something like that.
20:57I think that's the original meaning.
20:59Okay.
21:00Excellent.
21:01So, the, uh, so in this case, that's the name of the place, right?
21:05That's the name of the restaurant?
21:06Mm-hmm.
21:07The name of the restaurant, cambalache.
21:09Okay.
21:10Oh, fantastic.
21:11Right.
21:12So, how is this restaurant like?
21:14Uh, what is the type of food that, uh, they offer here?
21:17Real meat.
21:18Oh, grilled meat.
21:20Mm-hmm.
21:21Yeah, real meat, but with high, um, how do you say, cortes?
21:28Uh, like, uh, slices of meat.
21:32Slices?
21:33Mm-hmm.
21:34Slices.
21:35Slices meals.
21:36Slices of meat.
21:37Slices of meat.
21:38Uh, slices of meat.
21:39Mm-hmm.
21:40Um, and they also have a different, uh, dishes in the restaurant.
21:45Okay.
21:46Perpaccio and others, uh, specialty part of, uh, meat menu.
21:58Oh, that's a great option.
21:59You know, I've heard that those options, you know, in regard of, uh, meat are very, uh,
22:05popular and rather, uh, rather, um, demanded, uh, well, demanding, you know, from many people
22:13in, in northern cities, for example, in Monterey or in, or in the, in the northern cities of
22:20the country, that a lot of people actually, uh, look for these options, which are excellent,
22:24you know, they have a good time.
22:26Sometimes these restaurants offer playgrounds for children or they offer some other dynamics
22:32in the meantime that you're in the restaurants, you know, so they, they offer different concepts.
22:37For example, recently I have seen that many clothing stores, many fashion stores offer
22:44or give you the possibility or give you the service of a small restaurant in the area
22:50in the meantime that you're, that you're deciding what to buy or in the meantime that you are
22:56inside of the store buying fashion or clothes so that you can order food.
23:02And, uh, there is like a special area, you know, there's like a particular area where you can
23:07order your food and take a, a break time before, before that you continue buying or, or, uh, searching
23:15around the, the store.
23:17Uh, and that's a, like a, like a concept that, that has become really popular in, in, among people,
23:25you know, that a lot of people like going to, to a fashion store to buy clothes and to have
23:31the possibility to, to rest for a couple of minutes and to have a break time, to have
23:36a lunch.
23:37That's a very popular concept that has had become really popular these days.
23:42Have you seen it, David, in a particular store in your city?
23:46Sorry, teacher.
23:47Can you repeat the question, please?
23:48Yes.
23:49Like, uh, for example, these days, there's like a, a very popular concept, uh, given, given
24:04by different, uh, clothing stores that they actually give you the possibility to buy or to
24:10wander around the clothing store to buy some t-shirts or sweaters or any other, uh, clothing
24:17that you're looking for.
24:19Yeah.
24:20And they give you the opportunity to, to have a lunch area where you can actually have breakfast
24:26or you can actually have lunch.
24:28And in the meantime that you're doing your shopping session, you can have a, a short break
24:33time and you can order something to eat.
24:35Have you seen that?
24:36That, that, that's like a very popular concept that has become quite famous these days.
24:44Yes, teacher.
24:45And I think it's part of the experience, uh, of the restaurant, uh, for the customers.
24:51And, and also I think it's a good option for the marketing, you know, for marketing the,
24:58the restaurant.
25:00That's, that's the point.
25:01You know what I mean?
25:02The first time that I saw it, it, it really surprised me because, uh, well, I don't know.
25:08Well, when I, when I, in my case, I, it wasn't something that I felt that I actually needed,
25:14you know, because, uh, whenever I go to, to buy something, I, I'm concentrated on, I'm looking
25:20for that item that I'm, that I'm interested in buying.
25:23But, uh, I never had the idea of, you know what, in the meantime that I'm buying something,
25:28I would like to have an option to have lunch, you know, but, but I don't know.
25:32A lot of people liked it.
25:33A lot of people found it really, uh, handy and practical.
25:38And, uh, well, it seems, it seems that it's a new concept that has become really popular,
25:47right?
25:48So that's, yeah, well, the, I think that there's always, uh, there's always a customer or a
25:54client for, uh, for every particular option, you know?
25:59So, so whenever you have a business, I think, I think you need to, uh, to continuously, to
26:09continuously look for options to, um, to provide for your customers so that they can feel more,
26:15uh, committed to your, to your business and they, they have the opportunity to consume
26:22more in your place, you know?
26:24Like, for example, if you offer clothing and at the same time you offer food, so that's
26:29a double win, you know?
26:31You have a double opportunity to, to earn money from that.
26:35So I think it's, for the owners, it's a, it's a fantastic option, you know?
26:40But for customers, I don't know if they have actually asked to themselves, how much do I
26:47really need this, you know?
26:49How much do I really need this option in my life, you know?
26:53I don't know.
26:54I think that sometimes it's important as a customer to be, uh, to be critical of the
26:59services that, that we received and, and to consciously know what services to take and
27:06what others, what others, um, we can reject, you know?
27:12So that's a point in number three.
27:15So that we have number four here.
27:18What factors should be considered when recommending a restaurant to someone?
27:23So what do you think are the most important factors here, uh, David, whenever you make a
27:28recommendation to someone?
27:29What do you think?
27:30Well, I think the main recommendation would be, should be, um, uh, here's the service.
27:36Mm-hmm.
27:37Mm-hmm.
27:38Mm-hmm.
27:39Mm-hmm.
27:40The price, right?
27:41That's, that's really important.
27:42Mm-hmm.
27:43So that's, that's the point, you know?
27:44Like, uh, yeah, because, well, unfortunately lately there are some, um, there are some restaurants
27:51that tend to be, you know, like, uh, yeah, because, well, unfortunately lately there are
28:09some, uh, there are some restaurants that tend to be quite expensive.
28:16That's the point, you know?
28:22Sometimes they didn't have, uh, the best option there to, to eat, and that's really a Miss
28:2914 for the clients because, well, of course, as a client you're always looking for, like,
28:34for the best option, especially if it's an option for a special location, you know, like
28:38a birthday, like a family, right?
28:41I, I think that's one of the best services that different restaurants offer, which is
28:45the opportunity for people to celebrate your birthday, you know?
28:49Did you ever celebrate your birthday in, in a restaurant in particular day?
28:53Mm-hmm.
28:57Okay.
28:58Mm-hmm.
29:01Okay.
29:02Mm-hmm.
29:03Mm-hmm.
29:04Okay.
29:05Mm-hmm.
29:07Mm-hmm.
29:08Mm-hmm.
29:09Mm-hmm.
29:12Mm-hmm.
29:23Mm-hmm.
29:24Okay.
29:25Well, that's, that's fantastic, you know?
29:26you know well that's a great opportunity to to have a good time there you know
29:31not only to to celebrate your birthday but also to to have the chance to to be
29:40offered with a good discount excellent very good I think that's a great
29:45service you know that many restaurants should replicate so in this case we
29:51have what's a what's the point you know what about the price so you consider
29:56the price when you make a restaurant recommendation
30:21mm-hm mm-hmm okay were you ever disappointed by the price of a
30:40particular restaurant
31:01yes sometimes publicity in some places is mischievous you know sometime the
31:07publicity is deceiving they tell you that they offer the food for a
31:11particular price but once that you get to the place it's the price it's a little
31:15bit higher you know than what it was announced in the first in the first in
31:20first instance right which is very disappointing
31:31so that's the point makes on brigand so the price it's another important factor
31:36here which is something that we're discussing because some people say that
31:41there's no other words disappointment than going to a restaurant and ordering
31:48some food that that is not good at the end of the day or that it's that it's
31:54higher in its price compared to what it should be so that's that's one of the
32:02most disappointing experiences that customer could actually could actually face so in
32:09this case we have a number five that says how can good restaurant recommendations foster social
32:15connections and create memorable experiences you know to foster something the
32:20meaning of foster is like like to enhance you know like to boost or that makes better so
32:26what do you think of this question you know we have this new word which is the verb to foster
32:31and which is like similar to to improve or to enhance to enhance which is in general to make better
32:41that's like the general meaning here so how can good restaurant recommendations foster
32:46social connections and create memorable experiences what do you think
32:53yeah
33:00mm-hmm
33:02yeah
33:05oh yeah like the atmosphere you know the ambience you can say the atmosphere that the ambience the
33:20the yeah well the environments but yeah I think the atmosphere is good
33:27yeah
33:50okay excellent very good so what do you think what do you think that in this case not only in
34:10restaurants but also in some other places in some other attractions for people what do you think that
34:17the experience is so important for people because we cannot deny that there are many places that
34:24yeah they seem to be really catchy and excellent and they have a they offer us something really attractive
34:32to visit like museums or what the food in the terms of restaurants or or even some shows on theaters you know but
34:43but that are presented on theaters but sometimes they are excessively expensive you know there are
34:50they are rather expensive and sometimes despite that that increasement of the price people still pay for the show or
35:01for the restaurant or for the service or any option that they may be offering that they may be offered sorry so what do you think that the experience is
35:12the experience is so important for people despite the despite the coasts despite the economy
35:19the домой
35:31uh-huh
35:33uh-huh
35:36uh-huh
35:40hmm
35:42so
36:12yeah that's true you know that's if they actually have the money to pay for that
36:24option for that service it's it's good but but yeah I think that's in some
36:30places it's it's rather excessive you know sometimes the prices rise a lot you
36:38know for mainly just for the experience you know that that happens a lot of
36:43times when when Christmas is getting close or or with these celebrations of
36:49the day of the day and you know that there are many restaurants that create
36:52different dynamics in order to attract more clients and they end up they end up
37:00increasing the price of their services drastically but still there are always
37:07clients and people that decide to pay for these for these services right so it's
37:12it's something worth analyzing it's something worth discussing that's good
37:17so do you have for example in the number five here we have these opportunity you
37:26know to discuss to foster social connections and create memorable
37:31experiences so what has been like the most memorable experience that a
37:38restaurant has given to you David is there any particular moment that you
37:43treasure that that you particularly experience in a in a restaurant or in any
37:51other place where you actually receive the service
38:01mm-hmm
38:12mm-hmm
38:15mm-hmm
38:28mm-hmm
38:29okay
38:30mm-hmm
38:31next number again you know then yeah then I think that's really important in
38:36many cases especially in food you know when it comes to a restaurant you your
38:41expectation is to be at a quiet place at a very comfortable zone because sometimes
38:47there are some places you know like like restaurants or some other pubs where you
38:54go and unfortunately they offer a rather a rather short options with music or
39:03others all the music is too loud too loud sometimes you know so it's it's really
39:10difficult to find an option that actually satisfies or that actually fulfill all
39:16of your expectations but but still there are many options there right so
39:21excellent very good so that we are discussing these questions right there we
39:25also have like this option to analyze from this reading you know we have this
39:32vocabulary we have healthy and healthy fatty high fat low fat salty sweet
39:39high calorie low calorie there are different options in food you know and
39:44we have a couple of questions here to warm up a little bit that for example is they say the
39:52first one is the first one says do you like to eat at fast food restaurants and is it
39:58possible to get healthy food there so what's your opinion in regard of fast food restaurants
40:05so David because that's another option that that you can have for the moment of
40:09of deciding for for a good option here

41:03mm-hmm
41:15that's correct you know there's sometimes a sometimes there are some fast
41:23food options you know in terms of food but they actually give you a great
41:27opportunity to find to find the options there you know so so it's so it depends

41:41restaurants give you a wide variety of options to to choose from or some other
41:49restaurants the main attraction needs to draw children to to their playgrounds
41:54and so that they can sell more food which is another strategy in a market but
42:04but yeah I think that fast food it's still an option some people say it's not
42:10the healthiest option to go for but a lot of people consider fast food as
42:16something really bad so that depends on on the point of view with that you look at
42:22it's but it's always important to like to consider these options
42:32so in this case we have like this reading you know that it's going to be related
42:36to how to how to get like a balance between healthy food and and calories and
42:47and good and bad habits that we commonly have in terms of eating that sometimes
42:53it's really common that we that we sit in front of the TV to watch a movie and
42:59we've got our food and we don't pay attention or we don't pay close attention to
43:05what we are really eating you know how much of that food we are ingesting but but
43:12we it's something that we still enjoy doing so this this reading is going to show us some
43:18interesting points here so as to know what are the advantages and disadvantages of
43:27of these common habits that we tend to to make that we tend to have
43:33so let's see here well the introduction here the introduction here says that just one supersized
43:43fast food meal can have more calories than you should eat in an entire day
