dialogue one

[Music]

hello taylor oh hi veronica

what are you doing nothing just enjoying

the fresh

air great well i have a favor to ask you

what is it i’m going to a wedding this

weekend and i’m thinking of buying this

dress

online really

yes so i need your opinion because you

shop online a lot

and you’re a fashion expert

thank you for the compliment uh show me

the dress then

here it’s on amazon

oh it’s very cheap that’s why i chose it

you can never get a dress like this at a

store with such little money

but it seems like it doesn’t fit your

body type

well i thought that the details are

beautiful

you have a small and nice waist

meanwhile this dress doesn’t even have a

waistline

but i can always use a belt to fix that

no a belt doesn’t go well with a dress

like this

i like it but it’s not the perfect one

for you

what a pity i thought i would look nice

in it

a lot of people think that when they buy

something online

and then they get disappointed that’s

the disadvantage

you can’t try it on first

right but online shopping is more

convenient

when you go to into the stores if one

shop doesn’t have what you need

then you’ll have to go to another

you’re right but let’s find another one

scroll down

about this one it can fit you well

but check the review first okay

the comments aren’t so positive they say

that delivery is slow and the fabric is

too thin

understandable the price is way too low

does this red one look pretty to you

no it’s too sparkly it’s going to make

you look ridiculous

well check this blue one

seems good it’s quite simple but formal

enough for a wedding

people love this one too although it’s a

little more expensive

quality clothes online are usually

expensive

but it’s okay i can afford it thank you

for your help

taylor you’re welcome have fun at the

[Music]

wedding

dialogue two

mark have you heard the news i haven’t

had time

why they said that all stores will be

closed from tuesday

that’s the day after tomorrow right

yes oh boy i bet it’s because of the

pandemic

indeed that’s the only reason

what do we do now we don’t have that

much food left in the fridge

the worst thing is that we don’t know

when they will open again

our dorm should have had a canteen

well the pandemic was unexpected after

all

but i heard that we can buy groceries

online

are you serious of course

since the pandemic a lot of people have

opened grocery stores online

i don’t know the idea of buying meat or

vegetables on the internet seems weird

to me

but that’s the only way mark is right

we don’t have another choice besides

usually we still buy frozen meat and

packaged vegetables at the supermarket

yes there’s not much difference

fine but we have to find a reliable shop

true that’s the most difficult part

also known as the number one drawback of

online shopping

does anyone have experience britney

might

she’s the one who suggested the idea

actually no i just saw some people talk

about it on twitter

can you call your mom or dad to ask

right they probably know in my home

country there are very few cases the

shops are still running

let me call arizona might be in lockdown

well then you do it it’s true

my mom said that the shops there have

been clothes for almost a week

oh that’s really bad it is but the

fridge at my home was quite full

of course it is however my mom

prepared for everything

she already had some shops that we can

buy from

that’s great well she told me that she’s

going to send them to me later

so problem solved

[Music]

dialogue three

[Music]

mom i want to buy a pair of shoes

shoes why so sudden well

i’m about to go back to school and my

converse are too old already

oh yes they are but i want to try and

buy them online

really i’m not so sure about that

why it’s more convenient and there are a

lot more options

what if you buy a pair and they don’t

fit that would be a waste of money

then we can just return it back to the

shop

how do you know that they will let you

do that i’ll just ask them through

messages

alright that’s fine enough great can you

help me look

sure

so i’ve been liking this pair of boots

for a while

so long they nearly reach your knees

i know but it looks really cool don’t

you think so

yes but they’re super inconvenient they

might take you five minutes to put them

on

wait five minutes yes

putting your feet into them properly can

already be a struggle

plus i don’t think it’s appropriate for

school

then what do you think is appropriate

sneakers perhaps i’ve always worn them

i need a change well you can find a pair

of simpler boots

ankle boots yes with a zipper so that

it’s easy to put on

then have a look at this white pair

so expensive that’s over ninety dollars

but they’re german if the quality is

good i can wear them for a long time

there are quality boots at a cheaper

price you know

let me look a little more how about

this fifty dollars

not much cheaper but acceptable

people’s reviews say that it’s worth the

money

okay but ask the shop if you can return

it if it doesn’t fit

we can after that they will deliver a

similar pair

in different sizes good

then order it

finished when will they be delivered

well maybe in five days or sooner i hope
