Hello everyone!

Today's title is Shopping Center Vocabulary.
4
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.
6
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.

13
By writing your answer in English, you can improve your English skills even more effectively.
14
Alright, are you ready?
15
Okay, let's begin.
16
Hey, Meena.
17
We're here.
18
Wow, this place is so big.
19
I can't believe how big it is.
20
This is my first time here.
21
Really?
22
Welcome.
23
This is a shopping center.
24
Some people call it a mall, a shopping mall.
25
Shopping center, mall, both are okay.
26
You can use either one.
27
Shopping center.
28
Mall.
29
Okay, I'll remember both.
30
There are so many stores here.
31
You can find almost anything.
32
So what do you want to buy today?
33
I want to buy some new shoes and clothes.
34
Me too.
35
I want to look for some new clothes.
36
Great.
37
Let's go shopping together.
38
Okay, let's go in.
39
Look, this is the entrance.
40
The entrance is where you go in.
41
Entrance.
42
Okay.
43
Oh, the doors opened by themselves.
44
Yes, those are automatic doors.
45
Automatic doors.
46
They open by themselves.
47
You don't need to push them or pull them.
48
Automatic doors.
49
That's very convenient.
50
I like that.
51
Okay.
52
First, let's find a floor map.
53
We can see where all the stores are.
54
Let's go.
55
Okay, here we are.
56
Look, this is the floor map.
57
Oh, I see it.
58
This is helpful.
59
Yes, some people also call this a directory.
60
A directory is like a big guide that shows where all the stores are.
61
Floor map and directory are similar.
62
Both help you find stores in the mall.
63
Directory.
64
Okay, I'll remember that.
65
And if you need help, you can also look for the information desk.
66
The information desk has staff who can help you.
67
Good to know.
68
So, what do you want to find?
69
I want to find a shoe store and a clothing store.
70
Okay, let me look at the map.
71
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.
72
First floor, second floor.
73
Right.
74
First floor, second floor, third floor.
75
This mall has three floors.
76
You can also say level.
77
Level one, level two, level three.
78
Level.
79
Got it.
80
So the clothing store is near us.
81
Yes.
82
It's on this floor on the left.
83
Not far from here.
84
The shoe store is far.
85
It's on the second floor.
86
We need to go upstairs later.
87
We can take the escalator or the elevator.
88
Upstairs means the floor above us?
89
Yes.
90
Upstairs means the floor above.
91
Downstairs means the floor below.
92
Upstairs, downstairs.
93
Got it.
94
You know, I think many shopping centers look similar.
95
They all look the same to me.
96
Yes, you're right.
97
That's because the stores are placed like a circle.
98
A circle?
99
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.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?
Praticar a fala em inglês com vídeos como este é uma maneira excelente de aprimorar suas habilidades linguísticas. Através da história simples e envolvente de Sam e Mina em um shopping center, você terá a oportunidade de ouvir diálogos cotidianos em um contexto prático. Isso não só melhora sua compreensão auditiva, mas também permite que você imite a pronúncia e a entonação dos falantes nativos. Além disso, interagir com o conteúdo, como responder a perguntas sobre a história, fortalece sua capacidade de formular frases e se expressar em inglês, essencial para uma prática de conversação em inglês eficaz.
Gramática & Expressões em Contexto
No diálogo, várias estruturas gramaticais e expressões são utilizadas, que são fundamentais para iniciantes. Aqui estão algumas delas:
- Uso de perguntas simples: "So what do you want to buy today?" Essa estrutura é uma excelente maneira de iniciar uma conversa.
- Frases de saudação: "Welcome. This is a shopping center." A forma amigável de cumprimentar e apresentar uma nova situação é uma habilidade chave na conversação.
- Descrição de locais: "This place is so big." Usar adjetivos e expressões descritivas é vital para enriquecer a comunicação e fazer seu discurso mais interessante.
- Uso de objetos diretos: "I want to buy some new shoes." A construção básica de verbos com objetos diretos é fundamental para a construção de frases simples em inglês.
Praticar essas estruturas por meio de shadow speech ou shadowspeak pode fazer uma grande diferença no seu aprendizado. Tente repetir as falas após ouvir, utilizando as expressões corretamente, para fixar o aprendizado.
Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia
Ao aprender novas palavras e estruturas, é comum encontrar alguns desafios de pronúncia. Aqui estão algumas palavras e expressões do vídeo que podem ser difíceis:
- Shopping center: A pronúncia correta é crucial. Uma dica é enfatizar a primeira sílaba de "shopping" e fazer a transição suave para "center".
- Automatic doors: A dificuldade pode estar em pronunciar o 't' de "automatic" de forma clara. Pratique enfatizando esse som.
- Convenient: Essa palavra pode ser desafiadora, especialmente com o som "ven". Tente dividir a palavra em sílabas para facilitar. Fazer shadowing ajudará a melhorar a pronúncia em inglês.
Utilizando um shadowing site ou mesmo apenas repetindo em voz alta, você pode evitar essas armadilhas comuns e se sentir mais confiante ao falar.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
