Prices belong to particular items

An original shop dialogue reads: “Malá káva stojí třicet korun, velká čtyřicet. Dám si malou a vodu za dvacet, prosím”. A learner writes forty as the total because it is the largest coffee price. Another writes thirty because only the coffee is considered. The task asks what is ordered and the combined stated cost. The exercise supplies all necessary prices; no tax, service charge, discount or actual business policy is established. A partner may read the Czech text while the learner hides it, but the bank itself supplies no audio. This is original instructional material, not a real café menu. The learner should connect each amount to an item and the customer’s actual choice rather than treat the first or last number as automatically correct.

1. What does the customer choose and pay under the supplied conditions?

Read the worked answer

A small coffee and water: thirty plus twenty gives fifty crowns. The large coffee price of forty is not part of this order.

2. What would honest listening practice require?

Read the worked answer

Hide the script and have it read aloud before answering. Checking the written wording afterwards can reveal whether an error concerned number recognition, item reference or the arithmetic.
