Lesson Focus

• Understanding and using “I’d like” (I would like)
• Practising real-life dialogues for ordering food and drinks
• Using useful café phrases naturally in conversation

1. Warm-up (5 min)

💬 Talk about cafés:

• Do you like cafés?
• What do you usually drink in a café?
• Who do you go with?

2. Grammar Focus – “I’d like” = “I would like”

👉 “I’d like” is a polite way to say “I want”. We use it when ordering or asking for something.

➡️ I’d like + noun / I’d like + to + verb

→ I’d like a coffee, please. (= I want a coffee.)

→ I’d like to pay, please. (= I want to pay.)

→ Would you like a coffee?

→ Would you like to eat here or take away?

→ Yes, please. / No, thank you.

→ I’d like a tea, please.
