Ordering Breakfast in English - Listening Exercise

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:Listening Exercise. Answer the questions in comments and well respond.1.

Rep. parents do not regulate their childrens diets. There are some sorts of restaurants that have much less care as to how they do things. I do not like ice-cream for breakfast. The best mothod for keeping our children healthy is giving them the things that are good for health. For explainig to the children that ice-creams are not good for them I would say: that if they eat too much ice-cream they would grow up fat and ugly and the woul d be the laughing stock of everybody. In my country I think we have the average amount of obese poeple, therefore it is not considered as a struggle. LOIEnglish Wellington be sure to use your commas: In my country, which is Dom. Rep.,There are some restaurants that care less how they do things. In my country I think we have AN average amount of obese people therefore it is not considered AN ISSUE. Thanks Wellington for the response. It is interesting, in the Dominican Republic is there a problem with body issues for women? Are women constantly trying to lose weight and do you have problems with anorexia or bulimia?
