Shopping

• - Hello, dear learners, of English! Hello, dear teacher!
• - Hello, everyone! Hello Pauly! I am glad to see you. Today we will learn about shopping. Do you like shopping, Pauly?
• - Yes, I do. And you?
• - Me too. What do you like to shop for the best?
• - I like to shop for clothes and different pieces of electrical equipment such as a DVD player or a coffee maker, used in my home.
• - Different pieces of electrical equipment are called household appliances and electrical appliances.
• - Household appliances?
• - Yes. Household appliances are really useful household goods because they help us to look after our houses.
• - What do you like to shop for the best?
• - The most exciting thing is the perfume department. I like buying perfume. I like buying footwear, clothes for my children and food, too.
• - Could you explain me the meaning of the words "footwear" and "department", please?
• - Of course.

  footwear is things that people wear on their feet, such as shoes or boots.

  department is one of the areas that sells a particular type of product in a large shop, for example, the footwear department, the toy department.

• - Oh, no. The footwear department is the most boring thing, because I don’t like buying shoes and boots, but I like buying toys for my nephew.
• - The toy department is the most interesting for me because there are so many new toys that I have never seen in my childhood.
• - Yeah… My children like new toys. There are so many toys which give us pleasure and enjoyment. What did your nephew want for Christmas?
• - Well, he wanted some toy soldiers for Christmas.
• - Where did you buy them?
• - I bought them in the toy shop in Maxima. What did you buy for your children?
• - Well, I bought a doll and children’s laptop for my youngest daughter and a hare for the elder one, but the eldest daughter is not interested in toys anymore, therefore she got a new fashionable top.
• - Children’s laptop and top? What do you mean?
• - You know, "children’s laptop" and a "top" are two different words.

  a laptop is a small computer that you can carry with you.

  children’s laptop is a small computer for kids.

  a top is not a toy. It is a piece of clothing that you wear on the upper part of your body.

• - I see. And you mentioned "a hare". What’s that?
• - A   hare is an animal like a rabbit but larger, that can run very quickly. 2011 is the Year of the Hare, so I decided to buy a toy hare for my girl.
• - How lovely. What are the names of other years in English? What is the origin of the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac?
• - The twelve animals in the cycle of the Chinese Zodiac derive from a legend about Buddha who invited all the animals to join him for New Year’s Day. Only twelve animals went to see Buddha. As a reward he promised to name a year for each one in order of their arrival, these were the rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, cock, dog and boar.
• - That’s interesting.
• - Actually the ox would have been the first to arrive but the rat sat on his back and jumped off just before they arrived and therefore was first.
• - What a clever rat!
• - That’s true. And the signs of the Chinese zodiac are also popular not only in China, but all over the world.
