Before we start, I have a small question for you.
Please listen carefully to find the answer.
This will help you understand English more deeply.
So here is today's question.
What food do Sam and Ellie decide to order?
The answer is mentioned in the conversation.
If you find the answer, please write it in the comments section.
By writing your answer in English, you can improve your English skills even more effectively.
Alright, let's start the video.
Are you ready?
Okay, let's begin.
Hey, Ellie.
I'm so bored.
What time is it?
Let me check my phone.
It's already 12.30.
12.30?
Already?
Wow, time goes so fast.
It really does.
We've been watching videos all morning.
Yeah, that's true.
Hey Sam, I'm getting hungry.
Are you hungry too?
Yeah, I'm really hungry.
I didn't eat breakfast this morning.
You didn't eat breakfast?
That's not good for you.
I know.
I woke up late today.
You always wake up late.
Hey, that's not true.
Well, maybe a little.
Anyway, let's eat something.
It's lunchtime.
Good idea.
Do you want to go out and eat at a restaurant?
I don't really want to go outside today.
It's so hot out there.
Yeah, you're right.
It is very hot today.
I checked the weather this morning.
It's like 35 degrees.
35 degrees?
That's too hot.
I definitely don't want to go outside.
Me neither.
Walking to a restaurant in this heat sounds terrible.
So what should we do?
How about delivery?
We can order food and stay home.
Oh, that's a great idea.
I love delivery.
We don't have to go anywhere.
Right.
The food comes to us.
It's much easier than going out.
And we can eat on the sofa while watching TV.
That sounds perfect to me.
Okay, let's order food.
But what should we order?
Hmm, good question.
Let me get some menus.
I have menus from restaurants near here.
Oh, you have menus?
That's helpful.
Let's take a look.
Okay, here are the menus.
We have a few choices.
Wow, there are many options.
Let me see.
Look, there's a Chinese restaurant, a pizza place, and a hamburger shop.
Hmm.
It's hard to choose.
What kind of food do you feel like eating?
I'm okay with anything.
What about you?
Well, Chinese food is always good.
How about Chinese?
Chinese food is nice, but didn't you have Chinese food yesterday?
Oh, that's right.
I had Chinese food last night.
Maybe not Chinese again.
Okay.
How about hamburgers then?
This place looks good.
I like hamburgers, but I had a hamburger two days ago.
I want something different.
Okay, that's out too.
Well, how about pizza?
I know this pizza place.
It's really good.
Pizza?
Hmm.
When was the last time I had pizza?
I don't know.
Maybe two weeks ago?
Yeah, I think so.
Okay, pizza sounds great.
They have many kinds.
Pepperoni, cheese, vegetable, seafood.
Wow, so many choices.
What do you usually get?
I usually get pepperoni.
It's a classic.
I love pepperoni too.
It's my favorite kind of pizza.
Mine too.
Okay, let's get pepperoni pizza.
What size?
Small, medium, or large?
How hungry are you?
Very hungry.
Me too.
Let's get a large then.
Good idea.
And should we get some drinks, too?
Oh, yes.
I want something cold.
A cola sounds nice.
I want a cola, too.
Cola and pizza go so well together.
You're right.
They're a perfect match.
So two colas.
Sounds good.
Perfect.
A large pepperoni pizza and two colas.
Sounds like a good lunch.
Okay, let's order.
There are phone numbers on this menu.
Do you want to call them?
Me?
Oh, I'm a little nervous about calling.
Nervous?
Why?
Well, I'm not very good at talking on the phone.
It makes me a little scared.
Really?
Don't worry.
Ordering food on the phone is very simple.
The conversation is always the same.
Always the same?
What do I say first?
First, you say, hi, I'd like to order for delivery, please.
I'd like to order for delivery, please.
Okay, I can say that.
Good.
Then they will ask you what you want.
Just say, can I have, and then the food.
Can I have a large pepperoni pizza?
Like that?
Yes, exactly like that.
Perfect.
What happens next?
They might ask about toppings.
They'll say something like, would you like any extra toppings?
And I just tell them what I want?
Right.
You can say, can I add mushrooms?
Or just say, no thank you.
Okay, got it.
What else do they ask?
They will ask your address.
Just say, my address is 24 Oak Street, Apartment 3B.
Okay, and what about paying?
They will ask, how would you like to pay?
You can say cash or credit card.
I think cash is easier.
I'll say cash.
Sure, and that's all.
Really simple, right?
It does sound simple, but what if they say something I don't understand?
That's a good question.
Just say, sorry, can you say that again?
They'll repeat it for you.
Sorry, can you say that again?
Okay, that's really helpful.
I feel better now.
You can also say, sorry, can you speak more slowly if they talk too fast?
Oh, that's useful too.
Can you speak more slowly?
I'll remember that.
And don't forget to say please and thank you.
People are always happy to hear those words.
Of course.
I always say please and thank you.
Good.
Do you want to practice before you call?
I can pretend to be the pizza shop.
Yes, please.
Let's practice.
That would help a lot.
Okay.
Ready?
Here we go.
Ring ring.
Hello.
Thank you for calling.
What would you like to order?
Hi.
I'd like to order for delivery, please.
Can I have a large pepperoni pizza?
Sure.
Anything else?
Yes.
Can I also get two colas, please?
Of course.
What's your address?
My address is 24 Oak Street, Apartment 3B.
And how would you like to pay?
Cash, please.
Great.
Your order will be there in about 30 minutes.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Bye.
That was great.
See?
You can totally do this.
That was actually not so hard.
I'm surprised.
The key is to speak slowly and clearly.
You don't have to rush.
That's good advice.
Okay, I feel much better now.
I'll call them for real this time.
Go for it.
You'll be fine.
Just remember what we practiced.
Good luck.
Thanks, Sam.
Okay, here I go.
I'm dialing the number now.

Hey, how did it go?
Did you order?
Yes, I did it.
I ordered the pizza.
That's great.
I'm proud of you.
How was it?
I was a little nervous at first, but the person on the phone was really nice and friendly.
See?
That always helps.
It's not so scary, right?
No, it wasn't scary at all.
I was worried for nothing.
You did great really.
Your english was very clear on the phone.
Really, that makes me so happy.
Thank you, sam.
So tell me, what exactly did you order?
I ordered a large pepperoni pizza with extra mushrooms and two colas.
You added mushrooms?
Nice.
I love mushrooms on pizza.
I know you like mushrooms, so I asked for extra.
That's really nice of you.
Thanks.
How much was the total?
Eighteen dollars and fifty cents.
That's not bad.
Here, let me give you ten dollars for my half.
Oh, thanks.
That's fair.
We can split it.
Yeah, splitting is easy.
Do you need change?
I only have a ten.
No, that's perfect.
I have the rest.
Don't worry about it.
How long did they say it will take?
About 30 minutes.
Okay, so we have to wait a little bit.
That's fine.
Yeah, what should we do while we wait?
How about we watch something on TV?
Oh, good idea.
Let's watch something fun.
Sounds like a plan.
The pizza will be here before we know it.
I can't wait.
I'm so hungry.
Me too.
But at least we know delicious pizza is coming.
That's true.
You know, I was really worried about the phone call.
I know, but you had nothing to worry about.
Yeah, I learned something today.
Trying new things is scary, but it usually turns out fine.
That's exactly right.
And the more you do it, the easier it gets.
I think you're right.
Next time, I won't be nervous at all.
Today's going to be a good day.
All because of pizza.
Sam, the pizza is here.
Look, it just arrived.
Oh, finally.
I've been waiting for this.
That was fast, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was only about 30 minutes.
That's pretty quick.
Nice.
Let me open the box.
I'm so excited.
Wow, it looks so delicious.
It really does.
Look at all that cheese.
And the mushrooms look amazing.
It smells so good too.
I can't wait to eat it.
Okay, let's eat.
Here, take a piece.
Thank you.
Mmm, oh my God, this is really good.
Right?
The cheese is so soft and warm, and the pepperoni is perfect.
And the mushrooms are really fresh.
I'm so happy we added them.
Me too.
This was a great idea.
This pizza place is amazing.
It is.
I think this is the best pizza I've had in a long time.
Same here.
I wonder what cheese they use.
It's so stretchy and delicious.
I don't know, but I love it.
Oh, and the cola is nice and cold, too.
Cold cola and hot pizza.
That's the perfect combination.
This is the best lunch ever.
I'm so glad we ordered delivery.
You know what?
This is much better than going to a restaurant.
We can eat at home in our comfortable clothes.
I think so too.
No waiting in line, no going outside in the heat.
Exactly.
We should do this more often.
Definitely.
Let's order delivery again sometime.
How about next week?
We can try something different.
Oh, that sounds fun.
Like what?
Maybe seafood pizza?
Or a vegetable pizza?
Seafood pizza sounds really interesting.
Let's try that next time.
Okay, it's a plan.
And next time, you can call again.
Sure, I can do that.
Ordering on the phone is not scary anymore.
See?
You just needed to try it once.
Now you know you can do it.
You're right.
Practice really helps.
Thanks for helping me today, Sam.
No problem at all.
That's what friends are for.
Today was really fun, and this pizza is so good I don't want it to end.
Well, we can always order more next time.
It was a perfect day.
It really was.
Pizza just makes everything better.
I couldn't agree more.
Cheers to pizza.
Cheers to pizza.
