1
Hi, I'm Rich.
2
Welcome to Oxford Online English.
3
In this lesson, you can learn how to talk about online shopping.
4
What was the last thing you bought online?
5
What are the best online shopping websites, in your opinion?
6
Have you ever had a really good or bad experience when shopping online.
7
You'll learn some useful language to talk about these topics and answer these questions in this lesson.
8
One more thing.
9
Do you want to watch this video with subtitles?
10
You can.
11
Turn them on now by clicking the CC icon.
12
On a phone, find the subtitles by tapping the settings icon on your screen.
13
Now, let's start your lesson.
14
Hey, nice shirt!
15
Thanks!
16
Is it new?
17
Yes, I bought it last week on ASOS.
18
I've heard of ASOS, but I've never actually ordered anything from there.
19
Would you recommend it?
20
Yes, I think it's great.
21
I use it at least once a month.
22
They have a huge range of clothes and the prices are very reasonable.
23
Some people say their customer service is a nightmare, but I've never had any trouble.
24
Where do you shop for clothes if you don't use ASOS?
25
Well, I used to shop at Next, which is a shop I've always liked.
26
The clothes have always been quite expensive, but over the last year or two, the quality has been going downhill.
27
So recently I started shopping at Zara.
28
I think the clothes are much better value for money.
29
Okay, so you would recommend Zara as a good place to shop?
30
Yeah, so far so good.
31
I only started using their website two months ago, mind you.
32
Here's a question.
33
Do you know which prepositions to use when you talk about online shopping?
34
When we talk about physical shops, we use at.
35
So you can say, for example, I bought it at Walmart.
36
When we talk about online shops, we usually use on.
37
So you can say, I bought it on Amazon.
38
This is because we talk about being on a website.
39
We also say, I bought it online or I bought it on the internet.
40
We often hear students making mistakes with these phrases, so be careful.
41
In the dialogue, you heard some vocabulary to talk about online shopping.
42
Look at some phrases you heard.
43
What do these phrases mean?
44
Could you explain the meanings in English?
45
Try it now.
46
Pause the video.
47
Imagine you're an English teacher and you need to explain what these phrases mean in English.
48
What would you say?
49
Pause the video and say your definitions aloud.
50
How was it?
51
Could you do it?
52
A huge range means that they have many different products.
53
For clothes, this would mean they offer many different items, different styles, colours, and so on.
54
Reasonable means fair.
55
If the prices are reasonable, they're not too high.
56
It doesn't mean that the website is cheap, but if you use the word reasonable,
57
you probably mean that something is good value for money.
58
A nightmare is literally a bad dream, but you can use it to describe something terrible.
59
Finally, if something goes downhill, it gets worse.
60
The quality had been going downhill means that the quality of their products has been getting worse and worse.
61
There are other useful words and phrases in the dialogue.
62
We recommend listening to each dialogue several times and noting down any phrases you think are useful or interesting.
63
Next, you heard how to talk about shopping websites you use for buying clothes.
64
Look at some questions.
65
Think about how you could answer these.
66
When you answer the questions, try to include some details.
67
For example, when you answer question one, don't just say, I like shopping on Amazon.
68
Instead, you could say, I love buying clothes online.
69
My favorite website is ASOS because the prices are very reasonable and their customer service is excellent.
70
You could also say, I usually buy clothes online two or three times a month.
71
I would recommend staying away from frocks because the quality of the clothes has gone downhill recently.
72
Okay, pause the video and try to answer the questions now. Could you do it?
73
If not, go back and listen to the dialogue again.
74
Ready to move on?
75
Let's look at your next topic.
76
In this dialogue, you will hear us comparing two websites, Amazon and AliExpress.
77
Have you ever used these websites?
78
If you have, how do they compare?
79
Think about your answers before you listen.
80
So, what about things like electrical goods?
81
Which website would you use if you wanted to buy, say, a battery for your mobile phone?
82
Until recently, I would have said Amazon is better without a doubt, but a while ago, a friend of mine introduced me to a website called AliExpress.
83
AliExpress?
84
I've never heard of that.
85
How's it compared to Amazon?
86
I think the main reason people use it is because it's cheaper than Amazon.
87
But I've also found that they often have products that you can't get hold of on other websites.
88
Okay, that's interesting.
89
What's their customer service like?
90
Well, it's true that you'll see lots of complaints about it if you read the online reviews, but I've only had to send something back once,
91
and they sent a replacement straight away.
92
Right.
93
Well, sounds pretty reasonable.
94
Yes, I thought it was fair enough.
95
The only thing I would say about AliExpress is that their delivery times are not the best.
96
You wouldn't want to order something from them if you were in a hurry.
97
Can you see the estimated delivery times when you place the order?
98
Yes, you know what to expect.
99
You just have to be patient.
100
The last thing I bought from AliExpress, which wasn't available on Amazon, by the way, was a part for a printer.
101
They said it would take over a month to arrive, but in fact, it arrived safe and sound after only a week.
102
So, you were a satisfied customer.
103
How did you get on?
104
Did you agree with our comparison?
105
Let's have a look at some of the language we used.
106
Look at these sentences.
107
Which words are missing?
108
You heard them in the dialogue.
109
Try to remember.
110
Okay, let's check.
111
You can use without a doubt to emphasize the point you're making.
112
You could also say definitely.
113
Get hold of something means to find something that you need.
114
If you say replacement parts are hard to get hold of, you mean that it's difficult to find a shop or website which sells them.
115
If someone asks you what's their customer service like?
116
They're not asking you if you like it or not.
117
What is it like means tell me about it or describe it to me.
118
If you're talking about customer service or shopping,
119
you're probably asking whether the other person recommends it or not.
120
It's like asking, is the customer service good or bad?
121
It's not exactly the same, but it's similar.
122
Finally, if you say that something is not the best, you're saying that it's not so bad, but it could be better.
123
As before, there's more language in the dialogue which you might find useful.
124
We won't give you every single word and phrase we use.
125
You should also do your own work to get the most from these dialogues.
126
Now, let's see if you can talk about this topic.
127
Try to provide a detailed answer, perhaps using some of the vocabulary you saw before.
128
For the first question, you could say, when I need to buy electronic products, I usually use a website called Banggood.
129
They don't have as many of the top brands as Amazon, but the prices are great.
130
And they often have products that you can't get hold of anywhere else.
131
For the second question, you could say, the last time I bought something on Banggood was about three weeks ago.
132
I couldn't find the product on any other website and it arrived safe and sound after only two weeks.
133
I was a very satisfied customer.
134
Of course, there are many possible answers.
135
Now, it's your turn.
136
Pause the video and try to answer the questions now.
137
How did you get on?
138
Were you able to express your ideas?
139
Next, you'll see how to talk about good online shopping experiences.
140
This time, you'll see some key phrases before you hear the dialogue.
141
What are the missing words?
142
Try to find them as you listen.
143
Pause if you need more time to read.
144
Ready?
145
Here's the dialogue.
146
Do you find that there are some websites you use more since you've been living outside of the UK?
147
Yeah, absolutely.
148
One of my favorites is a website called Moonpig, where you can buy greetings cards, like birthday cards, Christmas cards,
149
and have them delivered to people in the UK.
150
British people often send greetings cards to friends and family on their birthdays or at Christmas.
151
And this can be difficult to organize if you're living overseas.
152
Right.
153
I guess in some countries birthday cards or Christmas cards are hard to find.
154
Yeah, that's true.
155
And even if you can get hold of them, it's hard to gauge how long it will take to arrive in the UK.
156
So some years ago, I got into the habit of ordering cards on Moonpig.
157
The website is really intuitive, so it's easy to find what you need.
158
That's always a plus.
159
It sounds good.
160
How does it work?
161
Yeah, well, first you choose a card.
162
Then you can personalize it with a photo if you want to, or just write a message.
163
After that, you just confirm the address you want to send it to.
164
Sounds like a good service.
165
I gave up on trying to send birthday cards.
166
Now I just send people text messages.
167
But I've always felt it's a little lazy.
168
It's nice to get a real card in the mail, you know?
169
Yeah, I'm with you.
170
It's a good service.
171
The cards are posted in the UK, so they only take a day or two to arrive.
172
It's straightforward to use once you get the hang of it.
173
Reasonably priced, and they haven't let me down yet.
174
Could you find the missing words?
175
Let's check.
176
Do you know what these mean?
177
Intuitive means easy to understand.
178
If a website is intuitive,
179
you can find what you need and do what you want without difficulties and without having to think about it too much.
180
A plus is a conversational way to say advantage or benefit.
181
If you get the hang of something, you learn how to do something, or you learn how to use something.
182
You can say, for example, it's easy when you get the hang of it.
183
If someone lets you down, they disappoint you by not doing what they said they were going to do.
184
If a website is very reliable, you can say, for example, they never let me down.
185
What about you?
186
Are you usually a satisfied customer when you shop online?
187
Tell us about a positive experience.
188
Pause the video now and try to make a few sentences.
189
For example, you could say, most of the time, I enjoy shopping online.
190
I often order birthday presents online.
191
Although it's very convenient, it makes me a bit nervous because obviously they need to arrive on the right day. So far, so good.
192
They haven't let me down yet.
193
Last year, I ordered a bunch of flowers for my mum and I was worried they might get damaged.
194
I was very pleased when she told me that they'd arrived safe and sound and on the 8th of November.
195
Done?
196
Great.
197
Let's look at our last point.
198
Speaking of being let down, I've just had a really strange experience shopping online.
199
Really?
200
What happened?
201
Well, I have an old laptop that I bought overseas a long time ago.
202
Last year, I needed to buy a replacement battery and I couldn't find one anywhere.
203
No one seemed to stock the exact type I needed.
204
Yeah, I think the manufacturers do that on purpose.
205
They just want you to buy a new computer.
206
Right.
207
Well, I persevered and eventually I found a company which had the battery, but they said it would take two months to deliver it.
208
I didn't have any alternatives, So I went for it.
209
Okay, and what happened?
210
Well, first of all, the ordering process was really tricky.
211
The website was so clunky.
212
It looked like it was made in the 1990s and hadn't been updated since.
213
I hate it when that happens. So annoying.
214
Yep, but I was determined.
215
So then I spent about six weeks tracking my battery as it made its way around the world.
216
It showed that it had arrived in the country, but then it disappeared off the radar completely.
217
I hated when that happened.
218
I contacted the company, and they had no idea what had happened.
219
And they sent me a refund.
220
Okay, well, that's something, at least.
221
I was ready to just call it quits.
222
But then last week, I received a package from the same website.
223
Don't tell me.
224
Your battery finally arrived?
225
Well, not exactly.
226
The package contained a battery, but it was for a phone, not for a laptop.
227
But it had my name and address, and so on.
228
It's kind of weird, isn't it?
229
Do they mix your order up with someone else's? Who knows?
230
Anyhow, I gave up on them.
231
It's too much hassle.
232
Here are some sentences from the dialogue.
233
Can you fill in the gaps? Could you remember?
234
Let's check.
235
What do these highlighted words mean?
236
Do you know or can you guess from the context?
237
Pause and think about it if you need more time.
238
Stock, as a verb, means to have something for sale.
239
You can use it in the verb phrase have something in stock.
240
If a shop has something in stock, it's available and you can buy it.
241
If something is out of stock, it's not available right now.
242
Clunky means that something is badly designed and difficult to use.
243
If your website is made on a budget, it'll probably be clunky.
244
It's mostly used to talk about technology, which is not well designed or which is out of date.
245
Call it quits means that you've been trying to do something for a while, but now you're giving up and you're not going to try anymore.
246
After a long, frustrating customer service experience, you might decide to just call it quits and go home.
247
Finally, hassle is a useful word to talk about bad customer service.
248
Something which is a hassle is both difficult and annoying.
249
If you describe something as a hassle, you're suggesting that it doesn't need to be this difficult.
250
For example, if a website makes you fill out loads of forms to get a refund or cancel your subscription,
251
you can describe that as a hassle.
252
They're making it more difficult than it needs to be.
253
Now it's your turn.
254
Have you ever had a bad experience with shopping online?
255
Tell us what happened.
256
When you're ready, pause the video and say your answer out loud.
257
Or write your answer down and share your experience with other students in the comments.
258
That's it for this lesson.
259
Thanks for watching.
260
See you next time.
261
Thank you.

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — पहले शुरू हुआ काम जो अब भी जारी है | has been going · has been getting · you've been living |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | Have you ever had · I've heard · I've never had |
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | are posted · being let · was made |
| Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी | Next, which is · technology, which is · Something which is |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 50 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे you're, I've, don't। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: conversational /ˌkɒnvə(ɹ)ˈseɪʃənəl/, preposition /ˌpɹɛpəˈzɪʃən/, subscription /səbˈskɹɪpʃən/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: intuitive /ɪnˈtjuːɪtɪv/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, conversational /ˌkɒnvə(ɹ)ˈseɪʃənəl/, personalize /ˈpɜː.sə.nə.laɪz/, preposition /ˌpɹɛpəˈzɪʃən/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: intuitive /ɪnˈtjuːɪtɪv/, verb /vɝb/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, overseas /ˌoʊvɚˈsiːz/, conversational /ˌkɒnvə(ɹ)ˈseɪʃənəl/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, pause /pɔːz/, overseas /ˌoʊvɚˈsiːz/, personalize /ˈpɜː.sə.nə.laɪz/, preposition /ˌpɹɛpəˈzɪʃən/
- /æ/ — “ऐ” से ज़्यादा खुला: hassle /ˈhæsl̩/, satisfy /ˈsætɪsfaɪ/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, laptop /ˈlæp.tɑp/, cancel /ˈkæn.sl̩/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- सामान्य गति पर एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें और हर वाक्य तब तक दोहराएँ जब तक आपकी लय वक्ता से न मिल जाए।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर dialogue, cloth, phrase जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
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।
