hello do you need help with your
listening skills in English I think you
may do um today I'm going to teach you
how to improve your listening skills but
it's going to be fun cuz you're gonna do
it when you go shopping who likes
shopping good yeah
shopping wow so exciting um so you're
gonna go shopping you're going to
improve your listening skills and three
and one today it's on sale you're going
to learn how to understand how those
native speakers so crazy don't
understand so if you go shopping or you
actually buy something you have to go to
a cashier or if you're going shopping
for food you're going to go to the
checkout now in my city of Toronto our
lovely government has put a five cent
tax on a simple plastic bag so if I want
a bag I now have to pay five cents now
you might be thinking to yourself Ronnie
five cents and I say yes five cents one
nickel there's a beaver on it I'm not
going to give the government five cents
it's my five cents I will put things in
my pocket and carry in my shirt before I
give someone five cents yes yes I am
that cheap so when you go shopping
especially at a grocery store in Toronto
they're going to ask you this question
they're going to say mm-hmm you want a
bag what yes yes oh sure okay
gym bag gym gym bag Jim I'm not Jim put
what's going on what would you you have
no idea what this person said to you and
they're standing there like
maybe not what's happening so I know
probably automatically you would say yes
five cents right out of your pocket gone
huh maybe you need five bags that ladies
and gentlemen is 25 cents you get more
of those that's one dollar that's a lot
of money for Ronnie so what they really
are saying to you but they speak so
quickly and they are native speakers is
do you want a bag or do you need a bag
but of course they don't say do you need
a bag do you want to bag they're going
to say this do ya wanna bag do you want
a bag do you want a bag do you want a
bag your turn do you want a bag
do you wanna bag do you want a bag do
you want a bag do you want a bag you say
no I brought my own bag thank you or
they might use the verb need it's the
same idea except instead of saying wanna
you're they're going to say Veta
so they can say do you need bag do you
need a bag do you need a bag no they say
do you need a bag you're trying you're
try do you need a bag do you need a bag
so first step is done now at this point
if I were you I would just want to get
out of the store with my beautiful
cupcakes and eat them but no they're
gonna ask you more questions that you
don't know the answer to and hope that
you could just buy things on the
Internet
they're going to ask you because they're
very nosy
Devere Mars do you have it up from card
to your points card do you have service
card give a target card you guys serious
card what what what like one line so do
you
they can either say do you or really
really fast do ya do ya so it's going to
sound like this
jeah so they might say to you jayveer
miles Jeff Jeff so we actually take out
the H you say Jeff do you have air miles
air miles is a point card it has an
airplane on it that if you buy enough
products at one store or many various
stores you can buy some stroke of
imagination and luck fly on an airplane
for free I don't have enough points to
do this because I almost forget my
stupid card and they say dear miles and
I say yes so they're waiting for me too
I was like I don't have it here I do
have one now so it's pretty frustrating
for me an optimum card if there's a
really big huge beautiful supermarket
that's actually a drugstore in Ontario
called Shoppers Drug Mart it has
everything I understand in most
countries a drug store only has drugs
who our Shoppers Drug Mart have
everything cosmetics food snacks
cleaning supplies toilet paper
everything you want right there
except for drugs there's no drugs are
they have something called an optimum
card so an optimum card or a points card
or a store card for example if you go
shopping at the very wonderful store of
Target and I am being sarcastic
they're gonna say Java Java target card
kind of sounds like this now Java Java
airmiles Java optimum card
Java points card Java target card most
of the time you're going to say no but
if you're lucky enough to have one of
these cards you can earn 3 points and
yay and fantastic you're gonna have to
fill out a form and write your name and
then god that's troublesome it's
troublesome but you might be able to get
points so safe is best save his bet
joiner back no gibberellins no your
point guard no no no no so first two
questions no and no yes we're almost
done shopping I'm really hungry I just
want to eat what I bought the next thing
they're going to ask you is credit or
debit excuse me credit debit do you did
you just know there no credit or debit
or they're going to say are you can use
credit or debit I can use credit debit
huh here take my money leave me alone I
just want to use these cupcakes so
credit or debit in English we never
bother to say or what we do is we take
out this or and we say creditor credit
or debit this is a general rule when we
put two words together we never ever
ever say the or we always stick ER or or
on the last or the first word as an
example if maybe it's Friday and you'd
like some fish um no sorry fish what
maybe you're on an airplane and the the
stewardess comes with a cart and says
chicken or beef chicken or chicken er
two
in or beef chicken or beef chicken or
beef you chicken what so when we say
this in English we never say the or we
always say her so they're going to say
credit or debit this means are you going
to use a credit card like a Visa or
MasterCard American Express or are you
going to use a debit now a debit is a
bank card so maybe you have a bank
account I hope so
if you do send me some money and you
have a debit card so they're going to
say credit or debit or they might use a
longer sentence and they might say are
you going to use credit or debit but
they say are you gonna so are ya gonna
use are you going to use are you gonna
use are you going to use credit or debit
are you gonna use credit or debit your
chance try are you gonna use are you
gonna use credit or debit so then you go
ah I don't know just right through just
debit card done the other thing the
easier thing if you want to is you just
wave some cash or some money in front of
their face they don't even have to ask
you you go Oh cupcakes okay
the easiest thing is to use cash I
personally don't ever have cash I always
use a debit card so yeah it's a little
bit more difficult but I'm lucky I can
understand these native speakers now the
last bothersome question they will ask
you is do you want or do you need ah
or they might say the receipt now first
of all the way with that we say this
word is really crazy
it looks like recipie key would you like
a receipt key but we actually say in a
word like this we seat so they're going
to say to you the other seat do you see
for this one I guarantee you the best
thing to say for this is oh yes yes
please
so no no debit yes please smile
cupcakes eat happiness glory they're not
going to say do you want the receipt or
do you need the receipt they're going to
go back to this one do you or Java no
they wouldn't say Java
they'd say Julia okay so do you want
like this one would say do you wanna do
you want to receive do you need to
receive so it's just like the very first
question do you wanna or do you need a
if they say the they're gonna say do you
wanta do you want the do you want the
receipt it depends on if it's a receipt
or wcm it's all articles do you want to
receive do you need a receipt do you
want the receipt do you need the receipt
so this one is going to be sound like
needa do you need a receipt do you like
shopping I hate it but it is necessary
my hobby is going to supermarkets so I
actually like grocery shopping but
sometimes it's very annoying and
inconvenient when I just want to get out
of the supermarket and eat my cupcakes
or whatever I've bought and the cashier
asks me these crazy questions
no no debit yes thank you
bye please say thank you at the end of
all the transactions it makes the person
working have a better day and if you
don't understand what someone has asked
you try not to get angry hmm advice just
ask them to repeat it but yes yes
no no no yes works well goodbye happy
shopping
you
