你好!你喜欢喝咖啡吗?今天我想去咖啡馆。我应该点什么?咖啡?茶?不知道。今天我们会学习如何在咖啡馆点饮料。听完这个,你就可以自己点餐了。很棒,对不对?

早上好!今天天气很好,阳光很暖和。我决定去市中心的一个咖啡馆。这家咖啡馆很漂亮,我很喜欢。我推开门,里面有很多人。我走到柜台,服务员微笑地看着我。我拿起菜单,上面有很多选择:咖啡、茶、果汁。我看到了拿铁,我最喜欢喝拿铁。但是,今天我想尝试别的。我看到一个新的咖啡,叫“焦糖玛奇朵”。听起来很好喝。我还没决定。服务员问我,‘您想喝点什么?’

Let's pause our story for a moment and look at some key phrases and vocabulary from that first part.

  • 咖啡馆 — coffee shop, 我去咖啡馆喝咖啡。
  • 菜单 — menu, 我看菜单。
  • 推开 — to push open, 我推开门。
  • 柜台 — counter, 我走到柜台。
  • 拿铁 — latte, 我喜欢喝拿铁。

我看着服务员,说:‘你好,我要一杯焦糖玛奇朵,大杯的。’ 服务员点点头,说:‘好的,一共三十五块。’ 我拿出手机,用微信扫码支付。在中国,大家经常用手机支付,非常方便。咖啡很快就好了。我拿到咖啡,闻起来很香。我找了一个靠窗的位置坐下。第一口,哇,味道真好!甜甜的,还有一点咖啡的苦味。我很喜欢这个味道。我看着外面的人,享受我的咖啡。这是一个完美的下午。我下次还会来这里!
