Welcome to English Listening Channel.

Hello everyone!

Today's title is Shopping Center Vocabulary.

In this video, you will follow a simple and fun story about Sam and Mina at a shopping center.

Don't worry, I will speak slowly and clearly, so please relax and enjoy the story.

Before we begin, I have a small question for you.

Please listen carefully to find the answer.

This will help you understand English more deeply.

So here is today's question.

What does slow music make people do?

The answer is mentioned in the conversation.

If you find the answer, please write it in the comments section.

By writing your answer in English, you can improve your English skills even more effectively.

Alright, are you ready?

Okay, let's begin.

Hey, Meena.

We're here.

Wow, this place is so big.

I can't believe how big it is.

This is my first time here.

Really?

Welcome.

This is a shopping center.

Some people call it a mall, a shopping mall.

Shopping center, mall, both are okay.

You can use either one.

Shopping center.

Mall.

Okay, I'll remember both.

There are so many stores here.

You can find almost anything.

So what do you want to buy today?

I want to buy some new shoes and clothes.

Me too.

I want to look for some new clothes.

Great.

Let's go shopping together.

Okay, let's go in.

Look, this is the entrance.

The entrance is where you go in.

Entrance.

Okay.

Oh, the doors opened by themselves.

Yes, those are automatic doors.

Automatic doors.

They open by themselves.

You don't need to push them or pull them.

Automatic doors.

That's very convenient.

I like that.

Okay.

First, let's find a floor map.

We can see where all the stores are.

Let's go.

Okay, here we are.

Look, this is the floor map.

Oh, I see it.

This is helpful.

Yes, some people also call this a directory.

A directory is like a big guide that shows where all the stores are.

Floor map and directory are similar.

Both help you find stores in the mall.

Directory.

Okay, I'll remember that.

And if you need help, you can also look for the information desk.

The information desk has staff who can help you.

Good to know.

So, what do you want to find?

I want to find a shoe store and a clothing store.

Okay, let me look at the map.

The shoe store is on the second floor on the right side, and the clothing store is on the first floor on the left side.

First floor, second floor.

Right.

First floor, second floor, third floor.

This mall has three floors.

You can also say level.

Level one, level two, level three.

Level.

Got it.

So the clothing store is near us.

Yes.

It's on this floor on the left.

Not far from here.

The shoe store is far.

It's on the second floor.

We need to go upstairs later.

We can take the escalator or the elevator.

Upstairs means the floor above us?

Yes.

Upstairs means the floor above.

Downstairs means the floor below.

Upstairs, downstairs.

Got it.

You know, I think many shopping centers look similar.

They all look the same to me.

Yes, you're right.

That's because the stores are placed like a circle.

A circle?

What do you mean?

100

The stores are on both sides, and you walk around in a big circle.

101

You walk around and around and you come back to the same place, so you see all the stores.

102

That's why the stores are placed in a circle.

103

Oh, that's why I always see the same stores again and again.

104

Exactly.

105

That's how the mall is designed.

106

Okay, the clothing store is on the left on this floor.

107

Let's walk that way.

108

Let's go.

109

Here it is.

110

Let's go into this clothing store.

111

Okay.

112

Oh, look.

113

There is a sale.

114

I can see the big sign.

115

Yes, a sale.

116

That means the prices are lower than usual.

117

Sale means a discount.

118

Things are cheaper than before.

119

A discount?

120

Everything looks so cheap.

121

I want to buy everything.

122

Wait, wait.

123

Let me tell you something important first.

124

Always check the price tag.

125

Price tag?

126

Yes.

127

The price tag is the small paper on the clothes.

128

It shows the price.

129

Okay, I see the price tag here.

130

Good.

131

Now look at the original price.

132

That is the price before the sale.

133

The original price.

134

And then look at the new price.

135

The price now.

136

Hmm, the original price is very high, but the new price looks cheap.

137

Right, but is it really cheap?

138

Sometimes the original price is not the real regular price.

139

They make the original price very high, so the sale price looks very cheap, but it's not really that cheap.

140

Oh, I see.

141

That's a little tricky.

142

Yes, it is a little tricky.

143

So always check, is it really a good discount?

144

Is it really cheap?

145

Compare the original price and the sale price.

146

Look at both prices and think carefully.

147

That's a good tip.

148

I'll be more careful from now on.

149

Oh, but I really like this jacket.

150

It's on sale, too.

151

Nice.

152

The color is great, and the price looks good, too.

153

Let me check the price tag for you.

154

Yes, the original price was high, but the sale price is fair.

155

This is a real discount.

156

But I want to try it on first.

157

Can I try it on here?

158

here?

159

Try it on means you wear it to see if it fits.

160

Yes, and I think I need a different size.

161

This one looks too big for me.

162

Okay, let's ask the store clerk.

163

You can talk to her.

164

Okay, I'll ask.

165

Excuse me.

166

Hi, how can I help you?

167

I like this jacket, but this one is too big for me.

168

Do you have this in medium?

169

Let me check for you.

170

We have small, medium, and large.

171

Yes, we have medium.

172

Here you go.

173

Thank you.

174

Oh, and one more thing.

175

Do you have this jacket in black?

176

In black?

177

Let me look.

178

Yes, we do.

179

Here is the black one in medium.

180

Oh, that's perfect.

181

I like this color much better.

182

Can I try this on?

183

Of course.

184

The fitting room is right over there, on the right side.

185

I'll show you the way.

186

The fitting room.

187

Okay, thank you so much.

188

I'll go try it on now.

189

Sure.

190

Take your time.

191

Let me know if you need anything.

192

I'm back.

193

I really like it.

194

It fits perfectly.

195

It's not too big and not too small.

196

The size is just right.

197

and the color is beautiful.

198

I'll take this one, please.

199

Wonderful!

200

Great choice.

201

Let's go to the checkout over here.

202

Okay, let's go to the checkout.

203

How much is it?

204

It's $35.

205

It was $50 before the sale.

206

Oh, that's a nice discount.

207

Yes.

208

Cash or card?

209

I'll pay with my credit card, please.

210

Sure.

211

Please tap or insert your card here.

212

Okay.

213

Done.

214

Great.

215

Here is your receipt.

216

Please keep it if you need to return the item.

217

Receipt.

218

Okay.

219

I'll keep it.

220

Thank you.

221

And here is your shopping bag.

222

Thank you for coming.

223

Thank you so much.

224

Have a nice day.

225

You too.

226

Have a nice day.

227

Ha!

228

Nice jacket, Mina.

229

It looks great on you.

230

Thank you.

231

I really love it.

232

I'm getting hungry now.

233

Are you hungry?

234

Yes, I'm very hungry.

235

Let's eat something.

236

Good idea.

237

Let's eat something before we go home.

238

Where should we eat?

239

Let's go to the food court.

240

The food court has many different restaurants in one place.

241

You can choose what you want.

242

Chinese food, burgers, pizza, anything.

243

It's on the third floor.

244

Let's go upstairs.

245

Okay, let's go.

246

Here we are.

247

This is the food court.

248

Wow, it's so crowded.

249

So many people are here.

250

Yes, it's a weekend, so it's always crowded like this.

251

I can't find an empty seat anywhere.

252

Okay, here's a tip.

253

Let's save a seat first.

254

Save a seat means we keep a table for ourselves before we go buy food.

255

Oh, I see.

256

So one person saves a seat and the other person goes to buy food.

257

Exactly.

258

On weekends, this is very important.

259

The food court gets very busy.

260

If you don't save a seat first, someone else will take it.

261

Oh, look!

262

I see an empty table over there.

263

Let's go quickly.

264

Great.

265

We got a seat.

266

Oh, Sam, before I go by food, where is the restroom?

267

The restroom?

268

There is one near the food court, but it's probably very crowded right now.

269

I have a tip for you.

270

The restroom upstairs is often less crowded.

271

Also, restrooms farther from the food court are often empty.

272

Farther means a longer distance from here.

273

So, the restroom that is far away from here is probably empty.

274

Yes, that's right.

275

Oh, that's really good to know.

276

I'll go upstairs then.

277

Okay.

278

After that, you can go buy food for us.

279

I'll save the seat here.

280

Sounds good.

281

What do you want me to buy for you?

282

Just get me the same thing you get.

283

Anything is fine.

284

Okay.

285

I'll go to that counter over there.

286

Hi.

287

Hi.

288

Welcome.

289

What would you like to order?

290

Hmm.

291

Let me look at the menu first.

292

Okay, I would like this one, please.

293

The chicken burger.

294

The chicken burger.

295

Good choice.

296

Actually, can I have two of those, please?

297

One is for my friend.

298

Two chicken burgers.

299

Sure.

300

Would you like the combo?

301

The combo comes with fries and a drink.

302

A combo?

303

It comes with a drink?

304

That sounds good.

305

A combo is cheaper than buying everything separately, right?

306

That's right.

307

The combo is a better deal.

308

So two combos?

309

Yes, two combos please.

310

Great.

311

What drinks would you like?

312

We have water, cola, and orange juice.

313

One cola and one water please.

314

Okay, so that's two chicken burger combos, one cola, and one water.

315

Yes, that's right.

316

Your total is $15.

317

Cash or card?

318

Card, please.

319

Okay, please top your card here.

320

Done.

321

Thank you.

322

Here is your tray with everything on it.

323

Tray.

324

That's the flat thing I carry the food on, right?

325

That's right.

326

Be careful.

327

It's a little hot.

328

Okay.

329

Thank you so much.

330

You're welcome.

331

Have a nice day.

332

Thank you.

333

Have a nice day.

334

That was so delicious.

335

Yes, it was really good.

336

I'm full now.

337

Okay, let's go home now.

338

Let's walk to the exit.

339

The exit is on the first floor.

340

Okay.

341

Oh, I like this background music.

342

It's nice and slow.

343

Very relaxing.

344

You know, shopping centers choose their music very carefully.

345

Really?

346

Why is that?

347

Slow music makes people walk slowly.

348

When people walk slowly, they stay in the mall longer.

349

And when they stay longer, they see more stores and they buy more things.

350

Oh, that's so interesting.

351

And can you smell that?

352

Hmm, I can smell something sweet.

353

Is that popcorn?

354

Yes, popcorn.

355

And can you also smell the bakery near the entrance?

356

Oh, yes, the bakery.

357

It smells so good.

358

I want to buy something just because of the smell.

359

Yes, that's why they do it.

360

The smell is there for a reason.

361

The smell makes people hungry.

362

And when you're hungry, you want to buy food.

363

That's so clever!

364

And look at those shopping carts over there.

365

Do you see how big they are?

366

Yes, the carts are very big.

367

That's also for a reason.

368

A big cart feels empty, even when you have some items in it.

369

When the cart feels empty, people want to put more things in it, so people buy more.

370

So that's why the carts are always so big.

371

Exactly!

372

And one more thing.

373

Look near the register over there.

374

The register?

375

That's where you pay, right?

376

Yes, the register is where you pay.

377

Do you see those small items near it?

378

Candy, gum, small snacks?

379

Oh, yes.

380

I always see those near the register.

381

People buy those small items while they are waiting in line to pay.

382

Small items near the register.

383

It's a very smart trick.

384

Haha!

385

Shopping centers are really, really smart.

386

They really are.

387

So, Mina, you learned many new words today.

388

Yes, let me think.

389

I learned entrance, automatic door, directory, fitting room, and discount.

390

Oh, and price tag, checkout, receipt, food court, combo, and tray.

391

Wow, that's amazing.

392

You remembered so many words.

393

I want to come back again soon.

394

Me too.

395

Let's come back again soon and go to more stores.

396

Yes, today was really fun.

397

Thank you, Sam.

398

Thank you too, Mina.

399

See you next time.

400

See you next time.

401

This video helped you improve your English.

402

Now let me ask the question from the beginning one more time.

403

404

Did you find it?

405

If you did, please write your answer in the comments section.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
