What Would you Like? Do you Sell Envelopes?

Tuesday 6^th May

Hi! How’s your weekend going?

 It’s sunny and hot. It looks like summer, but it’s still spring.

What did you learn in our last class?

We learnt the names of different kinds of shops.

Chemist’s – greengrocer’s- fishmonger’s – baker’s – florist – confectionery – stationery – butcher’s – newsagent’s – hairdresser’s – shoe shop – book shop – clothes shop and of course, supermarket.

·         What can you buy at a greengrocer’s?

·         Where can you buy medicine?

·         What can you buy at the fishmonger’s?

·         Where can you buy lamb chops and sausages?

Then, we went shopping.

 We had three shoppers, customers and three kinds of shops. There was a souvenir shop, a chemist’s and a news-stand. The person who works in a shop is the shop assistant or the shop keeper. The shop assistant sells and the customer buys.

You had to follow the instructions written on your cards and go shopping. You had €13.

Dialogues went like this:

Shop assistant (S): Good morning, Can I help you.

Customer(C): Yes, please. Do you sell envelopes.

S: Sorry, we don’t sell envelopes. Maybe in the other shop.

C: Thank you. Good bye.

C: Hello!

S: Hi! Can I help you?

C: Yes, please. Do you sell stamps?

S: How many would you like?

C: How much is each stamp?

S: they’re 40p each.

C: Can I have 20 stamps for Europe?

S: 1, 2, … 20; here you are. Anything else?

C: No, thank you. How much is it?

S: £9.

C: Here you are.

S: Your change, £1. Thank you.

C: Bye.

Don’t forget:

In English, we use a ‘point’(.) for decimals and a ‘comma’ (,) for ‘thousands’.

We usually write the currency symbols £, €, $ before the figure (number) and the fractions (small units like penny- pence, in plural- or cents) after the number.

£2,000   Two thousand pounds.  

 £115.95 one hundred and fifteen pounds ninety-five

13p thirteen ‘p’ Colloquially, British people say ‘p’ instead of ‘pence’

€2.50 two euros fifty

17c seventeen cents

Homework: write the name of ten shops and several items you can buy there. For example:

·         “Myriam’s” is a hairdresser’s or a hair salon. They wash, cut or dye your hair in here.

·         “Turkeys and chickens” is a butcher’s. You can buy meat, sausages, lamb chops and steaks in here etc.

And that was all!

Next day we’ll go shopping for clothes because we need to renew our wardrobes for the summer!
