Teacher guide and example answers
All three versions practise the same useful request: “Can I have …, please?” The support changes. Do not mark price calculation as the main language goal.
| Version | Example response | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| A | Can I have a coffee and a cheese sandwich, please? Thank you. | A drink and a sandwich from the menu; a polite request. |
| B | Can I have a tea and a tomato sandwich, please? Thank you. | The learner writes the request with less help. |
| C | Hello. Can I have an apple juice and a cheese sandwich, please? How much is it? / That’s six pounds. / Thank you. | The pair can use the request in a short exchange. |
Other menu choices are valid. Tea or apple juice plus a sandwich costs £6; coffee plus a sandwich costs £7. Accept another polite request if it fits the task. Model missing language, then let the learner try again.
