What it is

Going to the supermarket is one of those ordinary activities that we do every week without thinking very much about it, but it is actually full of interesting details, decisions, and vocabulary. We choose food for our families, we compare prices, we read labels, we talk to employees, and we try to remember everything we need before we return home. A trip to the supermarket can be quick and efficient, or it can become a long, expensive adventure if we arrive hungry and without a list. I usually go to the supermarket once a week, on Saturday morning, and I do a smaller shopping trip in the middle of the week for fresh things like milk, bread, fruit, and vegetables. Before I leave home, I always prepare a shopping list. First, I open the refrigerator and check what is missing. Then I look in the pantry, where we keep rice, beans, pasta, flour, oil, and canned food. Finally, I check the bathroom and the cleaning supplies: do we need soap, shampoo, toothpaste, detergent, or toilet paper? Let's talk — 10 questions to discuss with your voice tutor: 1.

Give an example. 6. What foods are you tempted to buy even when they are not on your list? 7. Do you prefer a big supermarket or a small local store? Why? 8. How do you pay at the supermarket — cash, debit card, or credit card? 9. Do you use reusable bags? Why do you think they are important? 10. Can you describe a funny, strange, or kind experience you had at a supermarket? 📖 La lectura completa llegará en una actualización (la plataforma ahora limita el texto por lección).
