The Restaurant Order Challenge – American Edition
NEW · Speaking Mode: Tap Start speaking and wait for “Listening”. Tap Stop speaking when you finish your answer. Then review the transcription and check your response. Help reveals words, a starter and finally a model; help is recorded. Short pauses are allowed.
Read, listen, or speak your way through each line in the roleplay. Choose or say the reply you would use in this situation.
Some answers are clear and natural. Other answers are grammatically wrong, unclear, or too rude. If the restaurant staff do not understand you, the roleplay becomes more difficult.
You can recover by using repair language such as: “Sorry, I mean…”, “Could you repeat that, please?” and “Could you help me?” At the end, review your result and submit it to your teacher/tutor.
- You are in a restaurant in New York and you want to have dinner.
- You need to get a table, order drinks and food, correct a mistake in your order, ask for a to-go box, and pay the check.
- Your goal is to complete the meal successfully and understand useful American restaurant language, including tipping.
Guided Speaking
Listen to the other speaker and use your own words to achieve the goal. Tap Start speaking, wait for “Listening”, then tap Stop speaking. Review your transcription and tap Check my response. The task check may ask for a missing detail.
This mode checks task-specific details in your text, not pronunciation or all grammar. Unfamiliar wording can need teacher review. If your phone joins spelled letters into a name, retry or mark the goal for teacher review.
