Na história de hoje

Após chegar ao hotel David faz check-in e está exausto. Decide não sair á noite para descansar e fazer uma refeição no próprio quarto.

Para fazer ligações do seu quarto de hotel David precisa saber qual o dígito que se digita antes para liberar as ligações. Para isso ele pergunta à recepcionista:

Front Desk Recepcionist  - Warwick Hotel Front Desk. How can I help you?

David – Hello, how can I make a phone call from my bedroom?

Front Desk Recepcionist  - You have to press 0 before de number, Sir.

David – Thank you, Ma’am.

David digita um número de pizzaria do panfleto que pegou no taxi e fala com a atendente:

Pizza Place telephone attendant  - Good Afternoon. My name is Robert. This is ABC pizza. How can I help you?

David – I want to order a pizza.

Robert  - What topping would you like to order today?

David – I don’t know… Can you give me some advice?

Robert  - Sure. We have Super Supreme, Pepperoni, Hawaiian and Seafood.

David – Good. I want to try Large size Seafood one please.

Robert  - Anything else?

David – One diet coke, please.

Robert  - : Ok. That would be $20.00. Can I have your phone number and address please? 

David – Sure Warwick Hotel, room 487, Carter. The Hotel phone is 555-3809.

Apresentação

Fora do aeroporto você pode encontrar muitos sotaques diferentes: Nova Iorque (New York) é um caldeirão em que pessoas do mundo todo se misturam e convivem diariamente. A vida em Nova Iorque é agitada e acelerada, é como uma São Paulo, porém, com mais pessoas.

Antes de tudo vamos relembrar um pouco! Para fazer um pedido usamos geralmente want e o would like, mas você lembra a diferença do want e do would like?

Quando vamos oferecer ou pedir alguma coisa a alguém em inglês - comida ou bebida, temos duas expressões bastante comuns: "do you want...?" e "would you like...?". A diferença é que "do you want...?" é mais direta e menos formal, ao passo que "would you like...?" expressa mais polidez e é bastante comum em inglês britânico.

Would you like a cup of coffee?                               Do you want a drink?

No texto de hoje vimos alguns dos sabores de pizza mais famosos no exterior. Os mais vendidos são cheese e Pepperoni; seguido por outros sabores populares e clássicos, que veremos a seguir:

Pepperoni pizza is tomato and cheese pizza with pepperoni with marinara tomato sauce.

A Supreme style pizza is a crispy oven-baked crust pizza with peppers and onions, pepperoni, jumbo spicy sausage, and Mozzarella cheese with marinara tomatoes sauce. Perfect for a quick and easy meal that is sure to be a favorite!

Hawaiian pizza is a type of pizza that always consists of cheese and tomato base with toppings of ham and pineapple.

Hawaiian pizza does not actually originate from Hawaii. It has been conjectured that it derives from toast Hawaii, a German sandwich.

It is the most popular pizza in Australia, accounting for 15% of pizza sales.

Seafood não é estilo clássico de pizza, mas sim um moderno que varia de lugar para lugar, no geral ela tem além da massa, cheese, marinada sauce, e pelo menos um tipo de seafood podendo ser: crab, shrimp, fish ou squid. Há ainda os modelos mais caros que têm octopus, oisters e lobster, mas são realmente caros, especialmente no norte do país.

Did you know that the first pizza establishment in the United States was opened in New York's Little Italy In 1905?

Além destes ingredientes acima, podem ser usados em pizzas e sandwiches: Mushrooms, Black and Green olives, eggs and Bacon.

Apresentação

Com o nível de inglês que temos agora podemos nos aventurar mais em conversações e parte das explicações virão em inglês.

Isto é muito bom e essencial para aumentar a nossa fluência.

Abaixo vemos algumas palavras e termos novos que são vistos no texto e que você pode ver com freqüência se for aos Estados Unidos como guest  ou como worker:

Guest is a person who is given hospitality.

Continental Buffet- Buffet is a meal consisting of several dishes from which guests serve themselves.  It has lots of choices, anything you can think of. Usually good, especially in Las Vegas! You walk around and pick out what you want. Usually costs $15-29, depending on where, breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The continental type is what you would get in a hotel: rolls, donuts, fruit, etc. Sometimes hot and cold cereals, but you have to make everything youself, i.e., oatmeal if they offer it. You serve or make things yourself. Not a lot to choose from however. But better than nothing, and at most hotels it is free just like in Brazil. 

A penthouse is a term sometimes used for a room or series of rooms on the top floor. Usually a penthouse is a very elegant place, like the best hotel room, or most expensive apartment. Often it is set aside for use by rich or famous people - the only ones who could afford it.
