Lesson
Plans for "Watch, Listen & Speak", Semester 2
Listening & Speaking, "Pizza Delivery" - Listening
Guidelines: Listen
to the conversation then complete the questions.
Employee: Hello. Can I take your order?
Customer: Yes. I'd like
a large pepperoni pizza with mushrooms and green peppers.
Employee: Would you like
anything else?
Customer: Well, wait.
Uh, can I make that a half-and-half pizza?
Employee: Sure. What
would you like on each half?
Customer: Uh, what
toppings do you have?
Employee: Well, we have
Italian sausage, ham, mushrooms, onions, pineapple, black olives, green
peppers, bacon, tomatoes, shrimp, clams, and squid.
Customer: Shrimp, clams,
and squid!? What kind of pizza is that?
Employee: Uh, the
manager spent some time overseas [Oh.], and thinks his new seafood pizza
will be a hit with customers, but to be honest, the "Swimmer's
Special," as he calls it, is an acquired taste.
Customer: Uh, I'll pass
on the "Sink or Swim" special, but I'll have pepperoni and
mushrooms on one half and green peppers and Italian sausage on the other.
Oh, and could I get extra cheese on that pizza?
Employee: Alright. Would
you care for any bread sticks or beverage with your order? [Well . . . I
don't know.] Actually, we have a Friday night family special going on right
now [Oh!], and if you order any large pizza and drink, we'll throw in a free
order of bread sticks, plus a three dollar coupon for use with your next
pizza order.
Customer: Huh, sure, why
not. And what drink comes with the pizza?
Employee: Either apple
or orange juice.
Customer: I'll take
orange juice.
Employee: Okay. Your
total comes to fifteen nineteen, which includes tax. [Okay.] And could I
have your name?
Customer: Uh, yeah, Jay Han.
Employee: Huh? Did you
say "Jay Hand"?
Customer: No, it's
"Han." Actually, it's a Korean name, but many people have
difficulty making it out. Hey, maybe I SHOULD change my name to
"Hand."
Employee: Ah, names are
important; don't change it. [Okay.] Oh, and your address and telephone
number?
Customer: It's 1340
South 16 East, and the phone number is 340-1870 (three-four-zero-eighteen,
seventy).
Employee: Okay. Let me
repeat your order. A large half-and-half pizza. [Okay.] One half with
pepperoni [Yeah.] and mushrooms and the other with Italian sausage and green
peppers. [Yeah.] Orange juice and your free order of bread sticks. Jan
"Han," not "Hand," [Yeah, that's right.] at 1340 South
16 East, 340-1817. Is that correct?
Customer: Everything
except for the phone number. It's 1870, not 1817.
Employee: Alright.
Thanks for your order. It should arrive at your doorstep in 30 minutes or
less, or you'll receive a free small pizza with your next order.
Customer: Great. Thanks.
