My First Coffee Shop Experience
初めてのカフェ体験
英語ストーリー
I was nervous. It was my first time going to a coffee shop alone. I usually went with my friends, but today, I wanted to try something new. I walked in, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. It was cozy and inviting, with soft music playing in the background.
I approached the counter, a little hesitant. The barista, a friendly woman with a warm smile, greeted me. I ordered a latte, a drink I'd seen many people enjoy. She expertly prepared my drink, the milk steaming beautifully.
I found a quiet table by the window and sat down, taking a sip of my latte. It was delicious! The warmth of the drink, the relaxing atmosphere, and the quiet solitude all combined to create a perfect moment. I felt a sense of accomplishment, having successfully navigated my first solo coffee shop experience. I even started working on my English homework, feeling surprisingly productive and relaxed.
