Come Have Coffee With Us English Conversation Practice
this is my friend Anna we haven’t seen
each other in a while so we’re just
gonna have a coffee and catch up
you want to come did you hear me say the
phrasal verb catch up it means to talk
to someone you haven’t seen for a while
and find out what they’ve been doing
this place is nice you’ve one of my
favorite have you been here before
so what can you recommend you or usually
I like the nosy limit that’s delicious
and they do really good coffee and
smoothies
mmm what do you recommend
I asked Anna what she recommends because
she has been to this restaurant before
so she knows what’s good to eat okay I’m
gonna have the nasi lemak set with a
coffee what do you want do you mind if I
share that with you and sure I’ll get a
nice latte is what yeah that’s good and
what do you want
can you think of an answer the
grammatically correct way to answer that
question is I want an iced latte I want
an iced latte but in real life native
English speakers use a few different
verbs when they’re in a cafe or a
restaurant in this context they all have
the same or very similar meanings so you
might hear I want an iced latte
I’ll have an orange juice I’ll take a
peppermint tea I’ll get a pineapple
