TRANSCRIPT

“At lunchtime, I walked into a small café near my school. The menu was simple, and ordering was a piece of cake. I decided to try out the new sandwich with chicken and vegetables. The cashier smiled and handed me a number to wait for my food. A few minutes later, my order was ready, and I sat down by the window. The sandwich tasted fresh, and I felt happy I had tried something new. Next time, I might try out one of their salads as well.”
