Ordering Breakfast in English – Listening Exercise
The video for this English listening exercise is from one of my favorite movies and this scene is a great example of ordering food at a ‘diner’ style restaurant in the United States. A diner is like a mix between fast food and a café. Usually at diners you order your meal by a number, but you have a waiter come to your table to take your order. This specific exercise has some good terms you might hear at a restaurant.
Watch the video clip and answer the questions below:
