Practical English Vocabulary: Shopping in a mall

thanks for you

Basem

thank you Rebecca for this good presentation

mustafa

i can’t thank you enough, you’re the best :)

Thanks a lot! You are perfect as always, Rebecca. So, now I will not have any problems with shopping. Just one thing. Can you explain, please, a little bit more about plaza? What is shopping plaza exactly? You said it’s located outdoors. Is these some of small stores on the same area? Or maybe this is just a kind of selling outside ? I am asking because, it is very popular in my country to give English names to different places like shops, cafes, etc. We have NK Plaza Store, for example, but I think after your lesson that this place could be named NK Mall, Not NK Plaza, because this place is a many different stores inside the same building.

In North America, a shopping plaza consists of a few stores that are grouped together outdoors and a shopping mall consists of many stores that are grouped together indoors. That’s the main difference. So I think your observation makes sense! All the best to you.

Hi Rebecca! Nice presentation. Would it be even nicer instead of writing down all the vocab items, describe it first, then elicit it from the students to engage them more. IOW, making it more student-centered? If you give away all the lexis, you are not inviting student involvement. Then again, you did a great job, if this is just meant for the video presentation.

temesghen1

Thanks kindly for your suggestions; they are good ones. In general, we try to keep the video lessons fairly short so people can watch them easily and that is why the vocabulary is already written on the board. In a real classroom, there is more time to elicit answers from the students, as you rightly recommended. Thanks for caring and all the best to you.

Rebecca

Thanks, now it’s clear.

Elena

its good and ilike so much

jamal

Abdul

Hi! Thank you for another great lesson. I’d like to point out some technical problems. The quality of the sound is worse than of the others teachers. I hope that my remark will help all users of engvid.
I’m looking forward to a new lesson. Greets.

tomek

Sorry about the sound. There was a technical problem when we recorded a few lessons. It has been fixed. Thanks for your feedback and my best to you.

A’ve a ? 2 ask u plz:
Is “Where r u off 2” mean where r u going 2?!
So tx.

fatiima8

Yes, “where are you off to” means teh same as “where are you going”.

Good luck with your English!

Rebecca

Sorry for the typo – I mean both of the expressions have the same meaning.

Rebecca

Usmani

Good morning mrs Rebecca.Would you mind if i asked you a question. Which tense for this sentence:
I (live) in Canada for ten years.
1.I lived here for 10 years. If I understand this situation finished in the past.
2.I have lived in Canada for 10 years. If I understand this situation is happaning.
Which sentence is right? Thanks for your help.

dangthihainga

If you do not live in Canada anymore, then the first sentence is correct.

If you starting living in Canada 10 years ago and still live there now, then the second sentence is correct.

Hope this helps! My best to you.

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca!
Adrian here, from Romania.
Very useful your lesson and I really like your teaching style.
But I have a question about your comment. If he/she starting living in Canada 10 years ago and still live there now, shouldn’t we use present perfect continuous? (I have been living in Canada for 10 years)

Thank you for your time.

adrianrusu

You could say that too, Adrian. Both tenses would work in this situation. My best to you.

Rebecca

OK
Thank you for the reply!

adrianrusu

sorry. 1.I LIVED IN CANADA FOR 10 YEARS. (not here).

dangthihainga

thanksss

Hello .
could u tell me the way how can i increase my vocabulary?
plz plz plz tell me as early as possible.

moazzam

There are so many ways to increase your vocabulary – through specific vocabulary-building books, and also through reading, listening and watching English material, websites and shows. You can do it if you really want to. My best wishes to you.

Rebecca

Ms Rebecca, you are awesome! I like the way you teach. but when I need to practice, I dont know where to go. Can you please help me I am straggoling my Grammar Class. English is my Third Language. pleasde help.

lorolofia

It would be best to find an English-speaking friend, teacher or class in your city or online. There is no other way to improve speaking skills except by speaking, you are right! My best wishes to you.

Rebecca

thankyou.could you tell me how can i increase my vocabulary.i want to practice for good english i dont know howand where to go.can u please help me

anil

Please check my answer to Moazzam above. All the best, Anil.

Rebecca

Rebecca, what is the difference between a department store and a mall? They both seem to be inside and they both have different sections.

ESL

A mall is a covered space with many different stores inside, some large and some small.

A department store is one large store, such as Sears, with many different departments, often on several floors.

Hope this helps! My best to you.

Rebecca

argenis

Hi Rebecca,
while i was surfing into the Internet, i stopped by your very interesting as well as practical presentation about shopping in a mall. I would like to suggest if you don’t mind to provide more about shopping. For example, what and how should one talk about when being to different kinds of shops. In other words, if I want to be to the appliance section (shop) for looking for a reliable vacuum cleaner or whatever, how I could talk to the salesman.
Thank you very much indeed.
All the best for you

Mahmoud

Hi, beautiful
I always go to coffee shops and all the workers there speak English and gotta tell you I always feel stupid when I order something so please would you make a lesson about how to order in a coffee shop, thanks xx

Rey

I am terrible in hearing and speaking English. engvid helps me a lot in listening and using practical English.
I believe in that I can make conversation to English speakers one day if I keep learning , including sticking at your all lessons.

It’s a busy Sunday and you have a lot of things to do. You want to grab a quick bite to eat before continuing with your shopping, but you’re not sure what you want to have. Where do you go? specially, i have answered – going to the cafe, because logically you don’t have a time and if you would have tried all the stuffs in the food court, eternity might goes by, going to the cafe you can have specifically EXACTLY what you want…
