課文與重點
My name is Emma. Today is my second day at the coffee shop.
I feel a little better today. I know the drink sizes now.
But today I learn something new: how to use the cash register.
Jordan shows me. “It’s easy,” he says. “Just press the buttons.”
A woman orders a latte. She says, “Can I get a latte, please?”
I say, “Sure! That’s four dollars.”
She says, “Can I pay by card?”
I say, “Yes, of course.”
She taps her card. Beep! “Thank you,” I say.
Then a man orders a coffee. He says, “I’ll pay with cash.”
He gives me a ten-dollar bill.
I try to give him change. But I count wrong!
I give him too much money.
He looks at the money. “Um, I think this is too much,” he says.
I feel embarrassed. “Oh no, sorry! Let me count again.”
I count carefully this time. “Here’s your correct change.”
He smiles. “No worries. Everyone makes mistakes.”
Jordan says, “Don’t worry, Emma. The register shows the exact change. Just look at the screen.”
I look at the screen. “Oh, that’s much easier!”
I think, “I’m learning something new every day.”
