Welcome to English Daily Channel.
2
- Yeah.
3
Ashley, yesterday I paid my credit card bill.
4
My groceries cost me $600.
5
$600!
6
$600!
7
$600!
8
Six hundred?
9
Just for food?
10
"Yeah, only for food." Can you believe it?
11
That's a lot.
12
I spent about 300 last month.
13
Wait.
14
"Three hundred?
15
Half of mine?
16
Are you serious?
17
Yes.
18
Really?
19
300. So you're telling me we both eat every day, but you spend half the money?
20
Exactly.
21
How?
22
Do you eat less or skip meals?
23
No, I eat normal.
24
The difference is, I plan before I shop.
25
plan For groceries?
26
Come on, Ashley.
27
It's just buying food.
28
Well, That's what you think.
29
But if you shop without a plan, you always spend more.
30
"So you mean I'm throwing away money every month?" Not throwing away,
31
but not saving either.
32
Okay, then tell me, what do you do that I don't?
33
Let's start simple.
34
Do you even check the flyer before shopping?
35
Flyer.
36
What's a flyer?
37
I still don't get it, Ashley.
38
How can you spend half of what I spend?
39
Here.
40
This is step one.
41
"What's that?
42
Just junk mail?" Not junk.
43
This is a flyer.
44
Every week the supermarket sends it to your mailbox.
45
See?
46
Pictures, prices, discounts.
47
"Flyer." So, it's like an advertisement.
48
Yes, but very useful.
49
It shows what is on sale.
50
Oh, I get it.
51
Everything is for sale.
52
Careful.
53
For sale just means available.
54
Like, this car is for sale.
55
But on sale means cheaper, special price.
56
Oh, so on sale is discount.
57
For sale is just normal.
58
Exactly. But wait!
59
I get many flyers.
60
Walmart, Costco, Savon.
61
What do you do with all of them?
62
That's when you compare Compare.
63
Compare means look at two prices side by side.
64
Chicken here is ten dollars, chicken there is seven.
65
You compare and choose the cheaper one.
66
So, compare is like making two prices fight and the winner goes into my basket.
67
Exactly.
68
Okay, let me check.
69
Flyer comes in the mailbox, On sale means discount.
70
"For sale" means "normal" and "compare" means "choose the better price".
71
Perfect!
72
That's why my bill is 300, not 6.
73
Ashley, I know how to save money.
74
We just go to every store.
75
Cheap chicken here, cheap milk there, cheap rice in another place.
76
We buy everything cheap.
77
Sounds smart, Tom, but it's not a good idea.
78
Why not?
79
Cheap is good, right?
80
Not always.
81
Think about gas and time.
82
gas, and time, but the chicken is cheaper.
83
Yes, chicken is cheaper, but if you drive to three different stores, you spend more gas.
84
Gas is money.
85
And you also spend more time.
86
So, Cheaper chicken but more gas means more money.
87
Exactly.
88
You save $2 on chicken, but you spend $5 on gas.
89
Oh...
90
That's not saving.
91
That's losing.
92
Right.
93
You must look at the overall cost.
94
Overall cost?
95
Yes.
96
It means the total, not just the chicken.
97
Gas, time, chicken, all money together.
98
That is the overall cost.
99
Okay.
100
Overall cost.
101
Gas.
102
time Chicken.
103
all money together.
104
Perfect.
105
Now you understand.
106
That's smart shopping.
107
Hey Ashley, look at this sign.
108
It says, "Regular price $5 .99,
109
Member price $3 .99." What does that mean?
110
It means if you are a store member, you pay the lower price.
111
Member?
112
Like, pay money to join?
113
No, no. Membership is free.
114
You just sign up.
115
Sometimes you use a little plastic card.
116
Sometimes you just give your phone number.
117
Wait, so the same bread is $5 .99 for me, but $3 .99 for you?
118
Exactly!
119
Oh no, that hurts.
120
So regular price is the normal price and member price is the special price?
121
Perfect!
122
That's the idea.
123
Let me confirm, if I join, it's free, then I pay $3 .99, not $5 .99.
124
Exactly.
125
Okay, from now on, I always want the member price.
126
Good.
127
That's step two of smart shopping.
128
Wow, look at this salad box.
129
It looks healthy.
130
I want this one.
131
That salad box is $7 .00.
132
But if you buy lettuce,
133
tomatoes, and cucumbers, the same salad is only $3 .00.
134
Really?
135
Same salad, but...
136
More than double the price?
137
Yes because this salad is ready to eat That is called convenience.
138
Convenience?
139
What is convenience?
140
Convenience means easy for you.
141
No work.
142
You open the box and you eat. That is convenience.
143
convenience Easy for me.
144
Exactly.
145
but convenience costs money.
146
costs money, Oh! So...
147
I pay extra because someone cut the vegetables for me.
148
Perfect.
149
Then what is the other word you said?
150
Raw?
151
Raw means not cooked.
152
Not prepared.
153
For example, "raw lettuce." Raw tomato.
154
raw cucumber You wash them.
155
You cut them, and then you make the salad yourself.
156
Okay, raw means natural, not ready.
157
Yes.
158
Raw is cheaper.
159
Ready, food! is more expensive.
160
Okay, convenience is easy, but costs money.
161
raw, is natural and cheaper.
162
Perfect summary, Tom.
163
That's smart shopping.
164
Hey, Ashley.
165
"Why is this bread so cheap?" It's only one dollar.
166
That's the clearance shelf.
167
Clearance?
168
What is clearance?
169
Clearance means the store wants to sell it quickly.
170
The date is very close.
171
The label says "Best before June 10." Does that mean it is expired?
172
No, no. Best before is not the same as expired.
173
Not the same?
174
Expired means not safe to eat.
175
Best before means the best quality before that date.
176
After the date, It is still safe, but maybe less fresh.
177
So best before is okay.
178
Yes, if you eat it today or tomorrow, it's a good deal.
179
Okay.
180
Let me check.
181
"Best before" means safe, but maybe not fresh.
182
Expired means not safe.
183
Perfect!
184
That's why clearance items are cheaper.
185
Now I know!
186
Cheap bread, dinner tonight!
187
That's smart shopping, Tom.
188
Okay, time to pay.
189
Beep.
190
Wait.
191
"What did you just do?" I scanned my points card.
192
Points card?
193
But I thought that was the member card.
194
It's the same card.
195
One card for member price and for reward points.
196
So the card gives you cheaper prices and also points?
197
Exactly.
198
What?
199
So every time you shop, you get points for free?
200
Yes! free points Every time.
201
And then, what do you do with the points?
202
You redeem them.
203
Redeem means use them like money.
204
Redeem.
205
So I can pay less with points?
206
Perfect.
207
Oh no. I never used a card.
208
I always paid full price.
209
Don't worry, Tom.
210
Next time, get the card.
211
One card, member price, and points.
212
Earn when I shop, redeem when I pay.
213
Exactly.
214
That's smart shopping.
215
Okay, finally we are done.
216
At least now I understand flyers, member price, and points.
217
Okay, not done yet.
218
I also used this card.
219
What card?
220
Another member card?
221
No. This is my credit card.
222
It gives me cash back.
223
Cash back?
224
What is cash back?
225
Cash back means the bank gives me money back after I pay.
226
For example, 2 % of my groceries.
227
Wait.
228
So you pay, but then you get money back?
229
Exactly.
230
Oh no. So you save with Flyer.
231
You save with member price.
232
You save with points, and you even save again with cash back?
233
Yes.
234
Save now.
235
Save later.
236
Okay, you win.
237
From now on, you are my shopping teacher.
238
Deal.
239
Lesson complete.
240
Ashley, today I learned so much.
241
Really?
242
Tell me.
243
What did you learn?
244
Okay, let me try.
245
First, check the flyer.
246
Then, use the member price.
247
Don't drive to too many stores, because gas and time are also a cost.
248
Buy raw food, not always ready food.
249
Look at the clearance shelf and check the best before date.
250
Use reward points when you pay.
251
And finally cash back.
252
perfect That's the full list.
253
No wonder you only spent $300 and I spent $600.
254
Now you can spend $300, too.
255
Hahaha!
256
Deal!
257
From now on, I shop like Ashley.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
