Yes. What's the time?

lt's almost 12.30.

lt is so nice to sleep!

Yes! And what about last night?

Tell me everything.

There were four of us:

Chang, his friend Jerry and Jerry's girlfriend, Kate.

Oh! ls Kate nice?

Yes, she's very nice, very funny.

She's at nursing school.

How old is she?

She's 20.

How do you say this? Yes.

Spicy! Yes, lndian food can be hot and spicy.

We had some white wine from Kent!

White wine with. . . gas?

Sparkling wine!

Yes, England does have some very good sparkling wines.

Jerry and Kate only speak English.

That's good practice for you!

Yes, but it's very difficult and very tiring.

Well, you see?

We have coffee!

l need to ask your opinion about something.

Yes.

Harold says l should get a job, too.

You want a job?

Well, it gets lonely here during the day.

Victor and you are both at school.

You have a fun job at the video store. . .

You want to work at the video store, too?

No. l want to work as a salesperson, selling accessories and. . .

and clothes.

You're good at that!

You think so?

Yes! Will you work in a boutique?

No, l'd like to work in a big store, a department store.

Oh!

See, l'm a good shopper.

l think l'll be a good seller, too.

You will be excellent!

Help me practise my sales pitch

before you leave for work and before Victor gets home.

What time does Victor get home?

He should be back around 6.

Okay.

This is the company l'm going to apply to: Churchill's.

They sell very nice women's clothing.

And l should get a big discount myself!

Can l help you, madam?

No, thanks, l'm just looking.

Why don't you try on this dress?

lt suits you!

lt is a pretty dress but it's too big.

Oh, madam, we have it in smaller sizes!

Do you have it in another colour?

lt comes in blue, green and pink.

How much is it?

Madam, it's on sale.

lt's only £42!

Okay! l'll take it.

Very good choice, madam!

See? You're a natural salesperson!

l'm going to apply at Churchill's tomorrow.

Oh, okay, don't say anything to Victor.

No, l won't.

l wanna surprise him.

Okay!

Hi there! Good to see you...

Do you like shopping?

We can go shopping together but, first,

let's learn some English, OK?

Today we are talking about the verb 'to like'

and its negative and interrogative forms.

Do you like shopping? Agatha likes it! But Victor doesn't like it. . .

After that we will see the comparison of adjectives.

This fork is smaller than the other ones

Then we will talk about prices and how to ask for a price.

Finally you will learn about clothing and colours.

We are starting with the verb 'to like'.

ln this episode, Elena wakes up late

Sunday morning after her night out and tells Agatha about her dinner.

Can you remember what Elena says about the food?

l like lndian food

l like, you like, he/she/it likes,

we like and so on.

ln English 'to like' is very much like the verb 'to love'.

So you can say:

l like sparkling wine and l love sparkling wine.

Do you like sparkling wine?

This is the interrogative form:

Does Elena like her friends?

Do they like shopping?

Does Agatha like staying at home?

No she doesn't.

So the negative form is:

l don't like. You don't like. He, she, it doesn't like.

We don't like and so on.

For next time, you could make a list of what you like and what you don't,

OK?

Agatha tells Elena, she'd like to find a job in a department store.

So they practise being customer and salesperson.

Elena says: That's a pretty dress, but it's too big

and Agatha answers: We have smaller sizes.

Do you know what 'smaller' is?

Right, it's a comparative adjective.

With comparatives it's very simple:

we just add an '-er' at the end of the adjective:

'smaller', 'bigger', 'shorter', 'longer' and so on.

l can also say:

This is the smallest fork.

This is a superlative, right.

With the superlative, we add an '-e-s-t', '-est',

at the end of the adjective:

smallest, biggest, longest.

But this is true only for all short one-syllable adjectives.

With longer, multi-syllable adjectives there's a difference.

Let's see some examples:

difficult, more difficult, the most difficult

and expensive, more expensive, the most expensive.

Since we are going shopping,

as we said at the beginning of our lesson,

you have to learn how to ask about prices.

How much is this dress?

How much is it?

How much are those shoes?

How much are they?

You can also say: How much does it cost?

and How much do they cost?

lf you want to buy some clothes you will have to ask about size

and colour too.

Do you have a smaller or bigger size?

What colours do you have?

Do you have green?

Do you have blue?

lt's late! The shops are closing soon!

Bye and see you next time!
