Today, I'll talk about how to order food in a restaurant in the United States! We'll review helpful phrases, cultural tips about tipping, and how to ask for a takeaway box. Plus, we'll practice fluency with a mini-story.
Understanding the Menu
When you go to a restaurant in the U.S., you'll usually get a menu that's divided into sections:
Appetizers – small dishes served before the main course.
Entrées – are your main dishes.
Sides – small portions of your meal, like fries or salad.
Desserts – sweet treats to end your meal!

Agenda
I think it's the most crucial element for a student. An agenda contains the days of the year and the holidays. So, the student can write down the dates of exams, activities, etc. In this way, in theory, everything is under control. I say this in theory because many times kids forget to write things down, and it's chaos.
