Translation for Reference :

Man: Thank you for your waiting. Here are the non-tomato spaghetti and orange juice.
Is it all right for your order?
Woman: Well, one pizza hasn’t been brought out yet.
Man: Oh, is that so? Well, 2 types of pasta and 1 seafood pizza you ordered are already here.
Woman: Yeah. I also ordered a mushroom pizza.
Man: Is that so? I’m sorry. We will make it immediately, so please wait for a moment.
Woman: I don’t have much time, so please hurry. And I would like two more cups of coffee.
Question : What will the waiter bring later?
1. Seafood pizza, pasta, coffee
2.Spaghetti, orange juice.
3.Mushroom pizza, juice, coffee
4.Mushroom pizza, coffee
Instruction to practice:
Exercise format: Catch the request
In order to understand and do this form of exercise effectively, you can apply the following steps:
1. Catch the topic and the question :
The situation taking place here is:
レストランで、店の人と女の人が話しています。
At the restaurant, a waiter and a woman is talking.
=> The topic: Predicting about the food.
The question is:
店の人は、あとから何をもってきますか。
What will the waiter bring later?
2. Note the main ideas:
According to the topic, you should focus on important key words relating to the food that the waiter will bring later:
パスタ２種類とシーフードピザ (2 types of pasta and a seafood pizza) -> お持ちしています (is bringing here)
きのこのピザ (mushroom pizza) -> すぐにお作り(will make immediately)
コーヒーのおかわり２つ (2 more cups of coffee)
3. Choosing the answer:
+ With the food brought first: Spaghetti and orange juice (スパゲッティ、オレンジジュース) => We can eliminate answer 2 and answer 3 because they include orange juice.
+ The next 2 dishes are pasta and seafood pizza ( パスタ２種類とシーフードピザ ) that are bringing ( お持ちしています), so the waiter doesn’t need to bring them later => We eliminate answer 1 because it includes both pasta and seafood pizza.
+ Mushroom pizza ( きのこのピザ ) has been ordered (きのこのピザもお願いしたんですけど), but it hasn’t been brought yet. (ピザが1つ、まだ来ていないんですが). Then the woman also ordered 2 more cups of coffee (コーヒーのおかわり２つ、お願いします) => The waiter needs to bring mushroom pizza and coffee.
So we choose answer 4. きのこのピザ、コーヒー
