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
