Welcome back, friends.
Today we are going to tell you a Key Word Story that will help you review all of
key words.
So listen for the words that we say.
Are you ready?
Here we go.
Working at a restaurant is hard work.
Luke always had a lot of customers.
Most of the customers were nice.
But some were not.
Many customers talked too loudly.
They were not considerate.
And they did not always treat Luke with respect.
They didn't say "please" or "thank you." One customer was very rude.
He used a toothpick at the table.
Luke wanted to tell him to go somewhere private, but he did not.
He was too nice.
I hope that you liked our Key Word Story.
We're going to review today's conversations right now.
(Music).
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to Let's Talk.
Do you like to eat out in restaurants?
What are some good manners to remember when you are in a restaurant?
Well, today's guest will help us to learn all about that.
Please help me welcome Mr. Paul Polite.
Welcome to our show, Paul.
Thanks for having me, Rob.
You know a lot about manners.
What should people remember when eating out in a restaurant?
You should be considerate of other people.
Restaurants have lots of customers, not just you.
So you shouldn't talk too loudly at the table.
Or laugh too loud or make too much noise.
Let other people enjoy their meals, too.
How should you treat your server?
You should treat him or her with respect.
So you should say "please" and "thank you"?
Yes.
And if the service was good, leave a good tip.
Right.
About 20 percent of the bill, right?
Yes, that's right.
Is there anything else people should remember?
Yes.
Don't use a toothpick at the table.
Wait until you're in your car or another private place.
When you eat at a restaurant, you should be considerate of other people.
Restaurants have many customers, not just you.
Don't talk too loudly at your table.
Also, treat your server with respect.
Say "please" when ordering and "thank you" when receiving.
If the service was good, leave a tip of about 20 percent.
And after the meal, do not use a toothpick at the table.
Wait until you are in a private place.
Uh, Ginger.
Ginger.
Ginger!
Monkey Man, I'm eating.
Ginger, I know you're eating.
Please don't talk too loudly.
Ginger, please don't make noise when you're eating.
Was I making noise?
Yes, and you're still making noise.
Well, I'm just laughing now.
I know.
But Ginger, Ginger, you're too loud and you need to let other people enjoy their
meals.
Oh.
What other people?
Hmm.
Monkey Man, bring me a banana now!
Ginger, you need to treat me with some respect.
You need to say please.
Oh, sorry. Monkey Man, please bring me a banana?
OK, Ginger.
Here is your banana.
Now what do you say?
Can I have a bigger one?
No! You should say thank you.
What?
Thank you.
You're welcome.

Now what question did you have for Dr. Gee?
Oh. What should people do when others are mean to them?
Have you tried talking to them, Charlene?
