A2 English Listening: Let's Go Shopping!


Listen to three people talk about shopping.


  1. Lina

I need a dress for my brother's wedding. He's getting married in two months, and I'm worried. I only have a hundred dollars, and I want to buy a nice dress. Tomorrow, I will go to the mall. I hope I find a nice dress. Maybe something that's blue or green.


  1. Rick

I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow. I have to buy milk, meat, and eggs. I don't like grocery shopping, but I have to do it. The grocery store is always busy in the afternoon, so I will go in the morning. I hope I can finish my shopping in ten minutes.


  1. Sam

My computer is eight years old. I'm going to buy a new one this weekend. I play a lot of video games, so I need a powerful machine. I don't care how much it costs. I have a good job, so money is not a problem. I'm excited to start shopping.
