All right, let's start the video. Are you ready? Okay, let's begin.
Hello. Hello, room service. How can I help you? Oh, hi. This is Sam in room 305.
Hello Sam. What can I do for you today? I would like to order some food, please. I am hungry. Of course. Have you looked
at the menu in your room? Yes, I looked at it. There are a lot of things on the menu. I am not sure what to choose. I
understand. The menu can be a little long, but I am happy to help you decide. Thank you. That would be great. I am
staying at this hotel for the first time, so I do not know what is good here. Oh, welcome to our hotel. I hope
you are enjoying your stay so far. Yes, I am. The room is very nice and clean. I really like it. The view from the window
is beautiful, too. Oh, that is nice. Room 305 has a lovely view of the city. I am glad you like it. Now, would you
like me to tell you about some of our popular dishes? Yes, please. I would love to hear about them. Wonderful. Let
me tell you about what we have tonight. Great. I am ready to listen. So, what do you recommend? Well, we have
pasta, sandwiches, and soup. These are our most popular items. Oh, that sounds good. I like all of those. Can you tell
me more about the sandwiches? Sure. We have a chicken sandwich, a beef sandwich, and a vegetable sandwich. I
see. Which one is the most popular? I want to try the best one. Our chicken sandwich is very popular. Many guests
order it every night. People really love it. Really? That sounds nice. What is in the chicken sandwich? It has lettuce,
tomato, and cheese. And we also add a special sauce on top. The bread is very fresh, too. That sounds delicious. I am
getting hungry just thinking about it. That is a good sign. What about the soup? Would you like to hear about our
soup? Yes, please. What kind of soup do you have today? Today we have tomato soup and mushroom soup. Both are made
fresh every day in our kitchen. Hmm, I love mushroom soup. Is it a big bowl or a small bowl? We have two sizes. You can
choose a small bowl or a large bowl. The small bowl is good for a side dish, and the large bowl is good if you are very
hungry. Okay, I think a small bowl will be enough because I also want a sandwich. That is a good idea. The
sandwich and a small soup go very well together. Sounds great. And what about drinks? What do you have? We have
coffee, tea, orange juice, apple juice, and water. We also have milk if you would like. Great. You have a lot of
choices. Let me think for a moment. Of course, take your time. Actually, one more question. How much is the chicken
sandwich? The chicken sandwich is $12. And the mushroom soup? How much is that? The small mushroom soup is $6, and the
large one is $9. Okay, thank you. That is very helpful. I think I know what I want now. Great. What would you like to
order? I would like a chicken sandwich, please. One chicken sandwich. Got it. Would you
like anything else with that? Yes, but first I have a small request about the sandwich. Can I get it without cheese?
No cheese? Of course. That is no problem at all. We can do that for you. Thank you. I cannot eat cheese. It makes me
feel sick, so I always ask for no cheese. I understand completely. We will make sure there is no cheese on your
sandwich. I will tell the kitchen right away. Thank you very much. And can I also have a small mushroom soup? Sure.
One small mushroom soup. Is the soup okay as it is, or do you have any special requests for the soup, too? No,
the soup is fine just the way it is. I like mushroom soup the regular way. Okay. And would you like something to
drink with your meal? Yes. Can I have a glass of orange juice, please? I love orange juice. One glass of orange juice.
Sure. Would you like ice in your juice? Yes, please. With ice. I like my juice cold. I understand. Cold juice is the
best, especially in the evening. Is that everything for your order? Hmm, actually, can I add one more thing? Of
course. What would you like to add? Can I have some extra napkins? I always need more napkins when I eat.
No problem at all. We will bring extra napkins for you. I am the same way, actually. That is funny. Thank you so
much. Okay, let me repeat your order to make sure everything is correct. Sure, go
ahead. So, one chicken sandwich, no cheese. Yes, that is right. And one small mushroom soup. Yes, correct. And
one orange juice with ice. Yes, that is correct. And extra napkins. Yes, please. Do not forget the napkins. I will not
forget. I promise. Is that everything? Yes, that is everything. Thank you for checking. You are welcome. I always like
to check because I want to make sure we get your order right. Thanks a lot. So, how long will it take? It will take
about 20 to 30 minutes. Is that okay for you? Yes, that is fine. I am not in a hurry. I will watch some TV while I
wait. That sounds like a nice plan. We will bring your food to room 305 as soon as it is ready. That is great.
Thank you very much, Mina. You are welcome. Is there anything else I can help you with before I go? No, that is
all for now. Thank you. Okay, we will see you soon. Have a good evening, Sam. You, too. Thank you. Good night. Good
night. See you soon. Room service. Oh, one moment, please. I am coming to the door. Of course, take
your time. Hi there. Thank you for bringing my food. That was fast. You are welcome. I know you were hungry, so we
tried to be quick. Here is your order. Oh, thank you. Let me see. So, this is the chicken sandwich with no cheese,
right? Yes, that is correct. One chicken sandwich with no cheese. And here is your small mushroom soup. Wow, it looks
really good. The sandwich looks amazing, and the soup smells wonderful. Thank you. Our chef made everything fresh for
you tonight. He is very proud of his mushroom soup. I can see that. It looks homemade. That is wonderful. Where
should I put the tray when I am done eating? You can leave the tray outside your door. Just put it on the floor next
to your door and we will pick it up later. Okay, that is easy. I will do that. Thank you. And here are your extra
napkins. I brought a lot for you. Oh, great. Thank you for remembering. You are very kind. Of course, I did not
forget. Is there anything else you need right now? No, I think I have everything. This all looks wonderful. I
cannot wait to eat. Wonderful. Enjoy your meal, Sam. I hope you like everything. Thank you so much. I'm sure
I will. Have a good night. Good night. If you need anything at all, please call us anytime. I will. Thank you again.
Hello, room service? Hello, room service. How can I help you? Hi, this is Sam again. I am in room 305.
I called a little while ago. Hello again, Sam. Is everything okay with your order? Well, the food is delicious. The
sandwich is really great and the soup is wonderful, but I think something is missing from my order. Oh, I am sorry to
hear that. What is missing? I did not get my orange juice. I ordered an orange juice with ice, but it was not on the
tray when the food arrived. Oh, no. I am sorry. Let me check your order right now. One moment, please. Sure, take your
time. I am enjoying my sandwich while I wait. Yes, you are right. I can see it here in our system. You ordered one
orange juice with ice. I am very sorry about that. It was our mistake. That is okay. Do not worry too much. These
things happen sometimes. It is not a big problem. Thank you for being so understanding. I am really sorry about
the mistake. It should not have happened. Really, it is no problem at all. I just wanted to let you know so I
can get my juice. Of course. Can we send the juice to your room right away? Yes, please. That would be great. Thank you.
We will bring it right away. It should be there in just a few minutes. Nice. Thank you for the quick help. I really
appreciate it. Of course. Thank you for calling us about it, Sam. We want to make things right.
Room service, I have your orange juice, Sam. Oh, that was really fast. Thank you so much. Please come in. Here is your
orange juice with ice. Nice and cold, just how you like it. Again, I am very sorry about the mistake earlier. Please
do not worry about it. Really, it is totally fine. You brought it very quickly. Thank you for being so kind
about it. We want all of our guests to have a good experience. Well, I am having a very good experience. The food
was excellent tonight, especially the mushroom soup. It was so good, I loved it. I am so glad to hear that. I will
tell the chef. He will be very happy to hear that his soup was so popular tonight. Yes, please tell him. The soup
was hot and fresh and full of flavor. I really enjoyed every bite. That is wonderful to hear. Is there anything
else I can do for you tonight? Actually, yes. One small question. What time does room service close? Room service is
available until 11:00 at night. So, you still have some time. Oh, good. So, I can order again later tonight if I want
something else? Yes, of course. You can call us anytime before 11:00 and we will be happy to help. That is nice. Maybe I
will order some tea later before I go to sleep. >> [laughter]
>> That sounds lovely. We have many kinds of tea. Green tea, black tea, and chamomile tea. Chamomile is very good
before bed. Oh, chamomile tea sounds great for tonight. I will definitely call later for that. Thank you for the
suggestion. You really know your tea. You are welcome. I hope you sleep well tonight. Thank you for everything
tonight, Mina. You were very helpful and very kind. Thanks a lot for all of your help. Thank you so much, Sam. That is
very nice of you to say. It was my pleasure to help you tonight. And thank you for the orange juice. It is very
cold and very fresh, just how I like it. I am happy to hear that. Is there anything else before I go? No, I think
that is everything. Thank you again. Good night, Mina. Good night, Sam. Sleep well and enjoy the rest of your evening.
We are always here if you need anything. Thank you. I will. Good night. Good night.

To customize a food order politely, clearly state your specific request while using courteous language. For example, you can say, "I'd like the chicken sandwich, but could you please make it without cheese due to dietary intolerance?" This approach ensures your needs are understood respectfully and increases the likelihood that the kitchen will comply.
Common phrases include: "I'm hungry and would like to order dinner," "Can you recommend any popular dishes?", and "Could I have a small mushroom soup and a glass of orange juice with ice?" Adding polite requests such as "Please" and expressing appreciation like "Thank you" enhances communication and etiquette.
If an item is missing, politely call the room service staff and explain the issue, for example, "I received my order, but the orange juice was missing." Staff typically apologize and arrange prompt delivery. Staying calm and using courteous language facilitates smooth issue resolution.
Learners should focus on food items (e.g., pasta, chicken sandwich, tomato soup), drink orders (e.g., orange juice, chamomile tea), phrases for ordering (e.g., "I'd like," "Could you please"), and polite expressions for requests and apologies. Practicing these words supports practical communication during hotel stays.
To inquire about operating hours, you can say, "Could you please tell me until what time room service is available?" or "Is room service open late?" The response might be, "Room service is available until 11 PM." This helps in planning your orders accordingly.
You can end the conversation with phrases like, "Thank you for your help," "I appreciate your assistance," or "Please let me know if you need anything else." These expressions show gratitude and keep communication friendly and professional.
The video features slow, clear pronunciation and real-life vocabulary, which enhances listening comprehension. It also demonstrates polite request-making, order customization, and handling mistakes, providing practical speaking practice. Engaging with the quiz and related conversations further supports language acquisition for hotel and dining scenarios.
