How Can I Help You? — At the Restaurant | Common Core Lesson

Learn how to order food at a restaurant in English! A simple, beginner conversation lesson for Common Core students, with Arabic help and a fun quiz.

Welcome to Unit 5! In this unit, we will talk about food. Let’s start by learning how to order food at a restaurant.

1

Taking an Order

If you work at a restaurant, you ask customers what they want like this:

Example

Are you ready to order?
What would you like?


إذا كنت تعمل في مطعم، تسأل الزبائن عما يريدون بهذه الطريقة: “Are you ready to order?” (هل أنتم مستعدون للطلب؟) أو “What would you like?” (ماذا تريدون؟).
2

Making an Order

As a customer, you can say what you want in these ways:

Making an Order
I’d like…Can I have…?I’ll have…

Example

I’d like a pizza, please.
Can I have some orange juice?


كزبون، يمكنك قول ما تريد بهذه الطرق: “I’d like…” أو “Can I have…?” أو “I’ll have…”. مثال: “I’d like a pizza, please.”
3

Asking About the Menu

If you are not sure what to order, you can ask:

Example

What do you recommend?
Is this dish spicy?

💡 Easy Tip

“What do you recommend?” is a great question when you don’t know what to choose. The waiter can help you!


إذا لم تكن متأكدا مما تطلبه، يمكنك أن تسأل: “What do you recommend?” (بماذا تنصحني؟) أو “Is this dish spicy?” (هل هذا الطبق حار؟).
4

Finishing the Order

When you finish eating, you can say:

Example

That’s all, thank you.
Can I have the bill, please?


عندما تنتهي من الأكل، يمكنك أن تقول: “That’s all, thank you.” (هذا كل شيء، شكرا) أو “Can I have the bill, please?” (هل يمكنني الحصول على الفاتورة؟).
