Hello everyone!
2
Welcome back to 5-Minute English Practice.
3
I'm Jessica, and today we have a fun and very relatable conversation topic.
4
We're going to talk about online shopping and ordering things online.
5
These days, almost everyone buys something online,
6
from clothes and electronics to groceries and even coffee.
7
In today's conversation, I'm meeting my friend Lisa at a cafe,
8
today, and we're talking about our online shopping habits,
9
funny experiences, and some problems we've had with online orders.
10
This lesson is perfect for B1 English learners
11
because you'll hear natural daily conversation and useful vocabulary you can use in real life.
12
Let's begin!
13
Hey Lisa!
14
Sorry I'm a few minutes late.
15
No worries.
16
I just got here too.
17
I already ordered iced coffee for us.
18
You're the best.
19
Thank you.
20
You look tired today.
21
Honestly, I stayed up too late last night shopping online.
22
Again?
23
Yes.
24
I told myself I was only going to buy shampoo.
25
But somehow, I ended up buying shoes,
26
candles, and a desk lamp too.
27
That sounds exactly like online shopping.
28
It's dangerous because everything looks so attractive at night.
29
Especially when there are discounts.
30
Exactly!
31
I saw a limited time sale,
32
and suddenly I felt like I needed everything.
33
I think shopping apps are designed to make people spend more money.
34
I agree.
35
Sometimes they even send notifications like, only two items left.
36
Or, five people are viewing this item right now.
37
Yes.
38
And then I panic and buy it immediately.
39
Honestly, I've done the same thing before.
40
What's the last thing you bought online?
41
A coffee machine.
42
Really?
43
Really?
44
That sounds expensive.
45
It was!
46
But I convinced myself it would save money because I buy coffee almost every day.
47
That actually makes sense.
48
The funny thing is, after I bought the coffee machine,
49
I started buying expensive coffee beans online too.
50
So now your saving money plan became more expensive?
51
Exactly.
52
That's hilarious.
53
What about you?
54
What's the weirdest thing you've ordered online?
55
Hmm, probably a tiny portable fan for my desk.
56
That's not weird.
57
The weird part is that I ordered it at 2 a.m because I couldn't sleep.
58
Late night shopping is dangerous.
59
Very dangerous.
60
The next morning, I completely forgot I bought it.
61
And then it suddenly arrived at your house?
62
Yes!
63
Two days later, I opened the package and thought, who ordered this?
64
That's honestly so funny.
65
Have you ever had a bad online shopping experience?
66
Definitely.
67
Last year, I ordered a winter coat online.
68
Was it bad quality?
69
Worse.
70
The coat looked completely different from the pictures.
71
Oh, no. In the photos,
72
it looked elegant and thick.
73
But when it arrived, the material felt very thin and cheap.
74
That's disappointing.
75
And the size was completely wrong, too.
76
Did you return it?
77
I tried to, but the return process was complicated.
78
That's one thing I dislike about online shopping.
79
Returning items can be stressful.
80
Especially when customer service takes forever to reply.
81
Exactly.
82
But honestly, even with problems,
83
I still order things online all the time.
84
Same here.
85
It's just too convenient.
86
I think convenience is the biggest reason people love online shopping.
87
Definitely.
88
We can order almost anything without leaving home.
89
Groceries, clothes, electronics, books...
90
Even pet food and furniture.
91
Sometimes I feel like delivery drivers know me personally now.
92
Same.
93
The delivery guy at my apartment building always says hello to me.
94
That means you order too much.
95
Probably.
96
Do you prefer shopping online or shopping in physical stores?
97
Honestly, I prefer online shopping for simple things like skincare,
98
books, or home items.
99
But for clothes, I still prefer physical stores.
100
Because you want to try things on first?
101
Exactly!
102
Sizes are always different online.
103
That's true.
104
Sometimes I order my normal size and it still doesn't fit.
105
Reviews help a lot, though.
106
Yes, I always read reviews before buying anything.
107
Me too!
108
Sometimes the reviews are more helpful than the product description.
109
Especially when people upload real photos.
110
Yes!
111
Product photos online are sometimes too perfect.
112
Filters and editing can change everything.
113
Exactly!
114
I also like reading negative reviews before buying something.
115
Really?
116
Yes.
117
If the negative reviews are not serious,
118
I feel more confident buying the item.
119
That's actually smart.
120
What about food delivery apps?
121
Do you use them often?
122
Too often, honestly.
123
Same.
124
Sometimes after work, I feel too tired to cook.
125
Me too.
126
Ordering food is just easier.
127
But food delivery apps are also dangerous for my budget.
128
Especially when you add drinks and desserts.
129
Exactly!
130
I start with one meal,
131
and suddenly my order becomes twice the price.
132
I know that feeling.
133
Have you ever become addicted to online shopping?
134
Maybe a little during the pandemic.
135
Same here!
136
I think many people used shopping as entertainment during that time.
137
Yes, because we stayed home so much.
138
Sometimes buying something online gave me something to look forward to.
139
I understand that completely.
140
But now I try to be more careful with money.
141
Me too.
142
Recently, I started waiting 24 hours before buying non-essential things online.
143
That's actually a very good idea.
144
It helps me avoid impulsive shopping.
145
I should try that too.
146
Otherwise, I'll continue buying random things at midnight.
147
Like tiny desk fans?
148
Exactly.
149
Honestly, though, online shopping has made life easier in many ways.
150
I agree.
151
We just need self-control.
152
Which is difficult during sales season.
153
Very difficult.
154
Especially when apps send discount coupons.
155
Don't remind me.
156
Too late.
157
I think after this conversation,
158
I should delete shopping apps from my phone.
159
You won't.
160
Probably not.
161
Should we order another coffee?
162
Only if we promise not to shop online afterward.
163
No promises.
164
Fair enough.
165
I hope you enjoyed today's cafe conversation about online shopping and ordering things online.
166
This topic is very common in daily life,
167
and I hope you learned some useful English expressions and vocabulary while listening.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
