Today’s lesson is all about shopping – let’s begin by learning about the different types of stores.
Pet shops also sell accessories like these: collar, leash, cage, tank, bowl, toys.
Let’s focus on two common situations: shopping for clothes and shopping at the supermarket.
Conversation #1 – Shopping for clothes
TIẾNG ANH | TIẾNG VIỆT |
Saleswoman: Do you need any help? Fred: Yes, I’m looking for polo shirts. Saleswoman: OK, we have a few different styles – this one’s more dressy, and this one’s more casual. Fred: Can I try these on? Saleswoman: Sure – the fitting rooms are right over there. Saleswoman: How were they? Fred: I like this casual shirt, but it’s too loose. Do you have it in a smaller size? Saleswoman: Let me check... yes, we do! Here’s a medium. Saleswoman: Was it OK? Fred: It fits perfectly! But do you have it in green instead of blue? Saleswoman: One moment... here’s a dark green and a light green. Fred: I like the dark green one. How much is it? Saleswoman: Normally $39.95, but it’s on sale for $29.95. Fred: I’ll take it. |
Cô bán hàng: Anh có cần giúp gì không? Fred: Vâng, tôi đang tìm áo sơ mi polo. Cô bán hàng: OK, chúng tôi có một số phong cách khác nhau – phong cách này sang trọng hơn, và phong cách này giản dị hơn. Fred: Tôi có thể thử cái này không? Cô bán hàng: Chắc chắn rồi – phòng thử đồ ở ngay đằng kia. Cô bán hàng: Họ thế nào rồi? Fred: Tôi thích chiếc áo giản dị này, nhưng nó rộng quá. Bạn có nó trong một kích thước nhỏ hơn? Cô bán hàng: Để tôi kiểm tra... vâng, chúng tôi có! Đây là một phương tiện. Cô bán hàng: Có ổn không? Fred: Nó hoàn toàn phù hợp! Nhưng bạn có nó màu xanh lá cây thay vì màu xanh lam? Cô bán hàng: Chờ một chút... đây là màu xanh đậm và xanh nhạt. Fred: Tôi thích màu xanh đậm. cái này giá bao nhiêu? Cô bán hàng: Thông thường là 39,95 đô la, nhưng nó được bán với giá 29,95 đô la. Fred: Tôi sẽ lấy nó. |
Conversation Vocabulary & Phrases
When you go into a store, a salesperson might ask:
To say “no,” you can respond:
The word “browsing” means to look through many items in a casual way.
If you want to say “yes,” you can respond, “Yes, I’m looking for...” and then name the item you want to buy. For example,
If you need help finding an item in the store, you can ask a salesperson:
Let’s say you find a piece of clothing you like – but you want to put on the clothing to see if it’s the right size. You can ask the salesperson:
If the clothing is too big, you can say:
If the clothing is too small, you can say:
And if the size of the clothing is correct, then you can say:
Sometimes the size is correct, but it just doesn’t look good on you. In this case, you can say:
The phrase “I’ll take it!” means you are going to buy the item.
Conversation #2 – Returning an Item
Fred bought a jacket, too, but then discovered a defect. Listen to this conversation as he goes back to the store to return the jacket.
Fred: Hi there. I bought this jacket earlier today, but when I got home I found out that it has a hole in the sleeve. Can I exchange it for another one?
Assistant: Mmm-hmm. Do you have the receipt?
Fred: Yes – here you go.
Assistant: Oh, I’m so sorry, but we don’t have any more of that model. Would you prefer to receive a refund or store credit?
Fred: A refund.
If you need to return an item you bought to the store, always bring the receipt - that's the piece of paper you received when you bought the item. It's also good if the clothing still has its original tags - the tag is the piece of paper attached to the clothing that has the price and the bar code.
When you return an item, many stores will offer you two or three options:
Conversation #3 – Shopping at a Supermarket
TIẾNG ANH | TIẾNG VIỆT |
When you go into the supermarket, you’ll take a shopping cart – or a basket if you only want to buy a few things. Let’s look at a conversation with an employee of the store: Cashier: Do you have a loyalty card? |
Khi đi vào siêu thị, bạn sẽ mang theo một chiếc xe đẩy hàng – hoặc một chiếc giỏ nếu bạn chỉ muốn mua một vài thứ. Hãy xem cuộc trò chuyện với một nhân viên của cửa hàng: Nhân viên thu ngân: Bạn có thẻ khách hàng thân thiết không? |

The employee might refer you to an aisle – aisles are the corridors in the supermarket. Or they might tell you to go to one of these sections of the store:
If the store doesn’t have the item, the employee will say:
(the item is temporarily unavailable)
(we don’t carry = the store never sells the item; you need to go to a different store)
You can buy food in different types of packaging:
Here are some phrases for talking about discounts:
When you’re ready to pay, go to the checkout. The person who works there is called the cashier. The cashier might say:
“How would you like to pay?”
If you pay with a credit card, the cashier will say,
“Please sign here.”
(write your name on the paper)
If you pay with a debit card, the cashier will say,
“Please enter your PIN.”
(PIN = personal identification number)
If you pay in cash – imagine your purchases total $70 and you pay $100 in cash, the cashier will give you back the extra money ($30) and say,
Finally, the cashier will say:
"Here's your receipt."
receipt = the piece of paper with the list of what you bought : hóa đơn
