What should I put in a beginner speaking practice script?
Choose one everyday situation and a short exchange you understand. The café example uses a greeting, a request, a follow-up question, payment information, and thanks. Change details to fit your situation, then try answering without reading. A script is a practice aid; it cannot cover every possible response from another person.

Use this café exchange as a fictional practice example:
- Customer:
Hello. Could I have a small coffee, please? - Server:
Would you like milk? - Customer:
Yes, please. Where can I pay? - Server:
You can pay at the counter. - Customer:
Thank you.
Say both roles, or ask a partner to take one role. Then change the drink, size, or milk choice. Try a version without looking at the script. This gives you a specific way to check whether you can adapt the words; it does not show that you are ready for every café conversation.
