I'll Have Some of That, Please.
Hello! Welcome
to the popular ESL HELP! Desk, for fun help with
English grammar and
communication.
You're at a bakery and you see some baked goods that look tasty and
maybe interesting. You want to get some information about them but you don't
know what they're called. Now you get stuck and maybe
embarrassed: You can point to what you are interested in, but how do
express yourself
verbally? Or you are in a restaurant and you see a dish on
somebody else's table that
looks like something you'd like to try. You can
point, but
that might be rude. What do you say to find out what that
dish is called?
Let's take a look at some
international food dishes.
What's this?
I'll have some of this, please!
What's
this dish called?
Is there meat in it?
What are those?
I'll try some of those!
What kind of pie is
this?
Could I please have a slice?
What do you call this?
What are these?
What's in them?
Here's one I like!
What is this dish called? I'll have some of that!
If you know what each of these dishes is, and what country it is from,
send us a note and tell us! We'll tell you what each dish is in our next
podcast, and what country it is from.
Mmm...Now that was good!
