Roleplay Scripts

三個情境腳本 · 點 🔊 聽逐句範讀
SCENARIO 01
The Standard Order
Goal: Use a descriptive adjective to order a specific dish.
用一個形容詞，自信地點主菜。
Waiter
Welcome to our global food court! Are you ready to order?
Diner
Yes! I'm looking for something hearty. I'll have the Main Course Beef Noodles.
Waiter
Excellent. It is very savory today. Would you like a Side Dish with that?
Diner
Yes, please. I'll take the Spring Rolls.
Waiter
Great. Coming right up!
SCENARIO 02
The Sold-Out Dish
Goal: Use adjectives to describe an alternative dish.
當主菜賣完，用形容詞推薦別的料理。
Waiter
I'm very sorry, but we are actually out of the Pad Thai. It was very popular today.
Diner
Oh, that's too bad! What else would you recommend?
Waiter
Our Chicken Tikka Masala is a wonderful Main Course. It's very fragrant and creamy.
Diner
That sounds perfect. I'll try that instead. Is the water complimentary?
Waiter
Yes, it is! I'll bring some over immediately.
SCENARIO 03
The Honest Complaint
Goal: Identify a specific problem using texture/taste adjectives.
用質地與味覺的形容詞，禮貌地表達料理的問題。
Diner
Excuse me! I have a small problem with my Pizza.
Waiter
I am so sorry. What seems to be the matter?
Diner
It isn't very tender—it's actually quite tough to eat. Also, the crust isn't crunchy at all.
Waiter
I apologize for that. It should be perfectly crispy. Let me take this back to the kitchen.
Diner
Thank you. I appreciate the help.
Waiter
Of course. I will also bring a complimentary dessert for the wait.
