Hello everyone, and welcome back to Mr. English Channel, where learning English is easy and fun.

I'm Emily.

Hello, Emily.

Hello, everyone.

It's wonderful to be with you all today.

I'm Paul, and I am very happy to be here.

I'm happy you are here too, Paul.

are you today?

I'm doing great, thank you.

The sun is shining.

It's a beautiful day.

How about you, Emily?

I'm very well, thank you.

And I'm excited for our topic today.

It's something we all do.

Ooh, that sounds interesting.

What are we talking about?

Today, we are going to talk about the supermarket.

Yay!

Ah, the supermarket.

Yes, that is a very useful topic.

We all need to buy food.

Exactly.

We will talk about the words and phrases you can use when you go shopping for groceries.

That's a fantastic idea.

But before we begin our shopping trip, we have a small request for our amazing listeners.

Your support is wonderful.

Okay, Paul, are you ready to go to the supermarket?

I am ready.

I even have my shopping list.

A shopping list?

That is very organized.

I always make a list, too.

It helps me remember everything.

Me too.

Without a list, I forget the milk or the bread.

So, what is on your list today, Paul?

Hmm, let me see.

I need some fruit.

I need apples and bananas.

And I need some yogurt.

Okay, fruit and yogurt.

A healthy choice.

I try.

What about your list, Emily?

My list is a little longer.

I need milk, eggs, and bread.

I also need some chicken for dinner tonight.

and maybe some carrots.

Chicken and carrots sound delicious for dinner.

Okay, so we have our lists.

Let's imagine we are at the supermarket now.

Perfect.

We walk in through the big glass doors.

What is the first thing we need, Paul?

Well, we need something to put our food in.

We need a shopping cart or a shopping basket.

Yes, exactly.

A shopping cart is the big one with wheels.

You push it.

And a shopping basket is the small one.

You carry it.

Which one do you want today, Paul?

Your list is short.

A basket is good for me today.

I only need three things.

What about you, Emily?

My list is longer.

I need a cart.

I will push the big shopping cart.

Good idea.

Okay, you have your cart and I have my basket.

Where do we go first?

Let's get your fruit first.

The fruit and vegetable section is usually near the entrance.

Oh, yes, I see it.

It's very colorful.

Lots of reds, greens, and yellows.

It is.

So, your list says you need apples.

Yes.

Ah, look.

The apples are right here.

There are red apples and green apples.

Which ones do you prefer?

I like the red apples.

They are sweet.

The green apples are a little sour.

I like red apples, too.

How many apples do you need?

I think four apples will be good.

One, two, three, four.

Okay.

The apples are in my basket.

Great.

100

Now, what's next on your list?

101

I need bananas.

102

Where are the bananas?

103

Hmm, let's look.

104

Ah, I see them.

105

They are over there next to the oranges.

106

Oh, yes, I see.

107

I see a big bunch of bananas.

108

They look very fresh.

109

They do.

110

Some are yellow and some are a little green.

111

I like the yellow ones.

112

They are ready to eat.

113

I will take this bunch.

114

Four bananas.

115

Perfect.

116

So you have your apples and your bananas.

117

Your fruit is done.

118

Yes, that was easy.

119

Now, let's look at your list, Emily.

120

Okay.

121

I need carrots.

122

Carrots are vegetables, so they should be here too.

123

Let's see.

124

Carrots, carrots.

125

Found them.

126

They are next to the potatoes.

127

Ah, great job, Paul.

128

These look nice and orange.

129

I will get a bag of carrots.

130

Excellent.

131

So, fruits and vegetables are done.

132

What is the next section?

133

Well, I need milk and eggs, and you need yogurt.

134

Where do we find those things?

135

I know this one.

136

We need to go to the dairy section.

137

It's usually at the back of the store.

138

That's right.

139

Let's walk to the back.

140

Ooh, it's getting a little cold.

141

Yes, the dairy section is always cold.

142

Brr, all the refrigerators are here.

143

Okay, I see the milk.

144

There are many different kinds.

145

big cartons and small cartons.

146

Do you need a big carton or a small one?

147

I think a big carton of milk.

148

My family drinks a lot of milk with cereal in the morning.

149

Good choice.

150

Okay, milk is in the cart.

151

Now eggs.

152

The eggs are right next to the milk.

153

Perfect.

154

I need a dozen eggs.

155

A dozen is 12, right?

156

Yes, exactly.

157

One dozen is 12 eggs.

158

And a half dozen is 6 eggs.

159

Ah, okay.

160

A dozen eggs.

161

Here you go.

162

Be careful with them.

163

Thank you, Paul.

164

I will put them in the cart gently.

165

Now it's your turn.

166

You need yogurt.

167

Yes, the yogurt is here too.

168

Wow, so many flavors.

169

Strawberry, blueberry, vanilla.

170

Which one is your favorite?

171

I love strawberry yogurt.

172

I will get two small pots of strawberry yogurt.

173

Yum!

174

That sounds good.

175

Okay, our dairy shopping is finished.

176

Great!

177

Let's look at the lists again.

178

What is next?

179

My list says bread.

180

Ah, bread.

181

That means we need to find the bakery section.

182

I love the bakery section.

183

It always smells so good.

184

Me too.

185

The smell of fresh bread is the best.

186

Mmm, I can smell it now.

187

Let's follow the good smell.

188

Here we are.

189

Look at all the bread.

190

There are loaves of bread, bread rolls, and even cakes and cookies.

191

It all looks so delicious.

192

I just need one loaf of white bread for sandwiches.

193

This one looks soft and fresh.

194

Here you go.

195

Thank you, Paul.

196

In the cart it goes.

197

Ooh, wait.

198

Look at those chocolate cookies.

199

They look very good.

200

Should we get some?

201

It's not on the list.

202

Mmm, maybe just a small treat.

203

A small bag of cookies.

204

I think that's a great idea.

205

Let's get the cookies.

206

Yay!

207

Okay, cookies are in the cart.

208

Now, I have to be serious again.

209

What is next on my list?

210

Let me see.

211

It says chicken.

212

Right, chicken, for dinner.

213

So we need to go to the meat section, or the meat counter.

214

The meat counter is usually next to the dairy section, at the back of the store.

215

Let's go.

216

Here we are.

217

There is a person working behind the counter.

218

We can ask them for what we need.

219

Yes.

220

I will say, hello, can I please have two chicken breasts?

221

That's a perfect way to ask.

222

And the person will say, of course.

223

They weigh the chicken and wrap it for me.

224

There.

225

Now I have the chicken for dinner.

226

Fantastic.

227

Is that everything on your list, Emily?

228

Let me check.

229

Milk, eggs, bread, chicken, carrots.

230

Yes, that's everything on my list.

231

And I have my apples, bananas, and yogurt.

232

So our lists are complete.

233

Yes.

234

But wait, I have an idea.

235

I am a little thirsty from all this shopping.

236

Me too.

237

We should get something to drink.

238

Let's go to the drinks aisle.

239

Good idea.

240

An aisle is the long path between the shelves in a supermarket.

241

That's right.

242

Aisle 1, aisle 2.

243

Let's find the drinks aisle.

244

Ah, here it is.

245

Aisle 7.

246

Wow.

247

Look at all the drinks.

248

There is water, juice, soda.

249

I would like some juice.

250

Orange juice sounds good.

251

Okay.

252

Here is a carton of orange juice for you.

253

I'm just going to get a big bottle of water.

254

Water is always a good choice.

255

Okay, now I think we have everything.

256

I think so too.

257

So where do we go now?

258

We have to pay for our food.

259

We need to go to the checkout.

260

Exactly.

261

The checkout is at the front of the store.

262

Let's go.

263

Look, there are a few checkout lines open.

264

Some are for many items, and some are express lines for few items.

265

The express line is for people with ten items or less.

266

You have a basket, Paul.

267

You can use the express line.

268

Oh, that's right.

269

But I will wait with you.

270

You have a big cart.

271

Aw, thank you, Paul.

272

Okay, this line is not too long.

273

Let's wait here.

274

Now it's our turn.

275

We put our items on the conveyor belt.

276

Yes.

277

I'll put my milk, eggs, bread, chicken, carrots, cookies, and water on the belt.

278

And I'll put my apples, bananas, yogurt, and orange juice.

279

The cashier is ready for us.

280

Hello.

281

Hello.

282

How are you today?

283

We are great, thank you.

284

Did you find everything you were looking for?

285

Yes, we did.

286

Thank you for asking.

287

Beep, beep, beep.

288

Okay, your total is $32.45.

289

Okay, can I pay with a card?

290

Yes, of course.

291

Cash or card is fine.

292

You can insert your card into the machine here.

293

Perfect.

294

I'll put my credit card in.

295

Beep, it's done.

296

Thank you.

297

Would you like a bag for your groceries?

298

Oh, yes please.

299

I forgot my bags today.

300

Two bags please.

301

Paper or plastic?

302

Plastic bags are fine.

303

Thank you.

304

Okay, here are your groceries in two bags, and here is your receipt.

305

Have a wonderful day.

306

Thank you so much.

307

You too.

308

Goodbye.

309

Wow, Emily, that was a perfect checkout conversation.

310

Thank you, Paul.

311

You're a very good cashier.

312

It was fun.

313

And now we have all our food.

314

We can go home.

315

Yes, a successful shopping trip.

316

We practiced a lot of useful English.

317

We really did.

318

We talked about a shopping list, a cart, and a basket.

319

And all the different sections.

320

The fruit and vegetable section, the dairy section, the bakery, and the meat counter.

321

We used important words like aisle and checkout.

322

And we asked for things politely.

323

Yes.

324

Saying please and thank you is so important.

325

It is.

326

It makes every conversation better.

327

What if we can't find something?

328

What can we say?

329

That's a great question.

330

We can find a store employee and say, Excuse me, where can I find the pasta?

331

Excuse me, where can I find the pasta?

332

That's very clear and polite.

333

And the employee will help you.

334

They can say, it's in aisle four.

335

Ah, yes.

336

So don't be afraid to ask for help.

337

People are usually very nice.

338

Exactly.

339

Practice is the most important part of learning.

340

Going to the supermarket is great practice.

341

It is.

342

You see the words on the signs, and you can have small conversations.

343

Yes.

344

You can talk about what you want to buy.

345

I want some red apples.

346

Or, I need a loaf of bread.

347

And you can talk about quantity.

348

A dozen eggs.

349

A bottle of water.

350

A bag of carrots.

351

You made some really good points, Paul.

352

I hope our listeners found this helpful.

353

I am sure they did.

354

It was fun to imagine the whole trip, from the list to the final thank you.

355

It was.

356

And now I'm a little hungry thinking about all that food.

357

Me too.

358

I'm ready to eat my strawberry yogurt.

359

And I am ready to think about making that chicken and carrots for dinner.

360

Well, that brings us to the end of our episode for today.

361

We had so much fun with you all.

362

We did, and we want to say a huge thank you for listening to Mr. English Channel.

369

I'm excited to read the answers.

370

My one thing is always coffee.

371

Ah, good one.
