Day 3-1: Hotel Breakfast Buffet – Hot Drink Request
Read, listen, or speak your way through a short but realistic hotel breakfast interaction in New York. The buffet is self-service, but hot drinks are requested from the breakfast staff.
Some answers are clear, polite, and practical. Other answers are too vague, too literal, or misunderstand everyday hotel breakfast phrases like “How do you take it?”, “drip coffee”, “decaf”, “refill”, “all set”, and “to-go cup”.
You can recover by using repair language such as: “Sorry, let me be clearer”, “A splash of milk, no sugar, please”, “Could you explain drip coffee?”, “I’m all set, thank you”, and “Could I get a to-go cup?” At the end, review your result and submit it to your teacher/tutor.
- It is Day 2 in New York. You are having breakfast at the Midtown Parkview Hotel before going sightseeing.
- The buffet is self-service, but coffee, tea, and other hot drinks must be requested from the breakfast staff.
- Your goal is to request a hot drink, specify milk or sugar, ask for a refill or to-go cup if needed, and close the interaction politely.
