    In this class I will share with you some common phrases that you can use when you go to a

    store.

    If you need help you can ask a sales assistant to help you - make sure it's someone from the
    store first and if you are not sure you can ask: Do you work here?
    And then say: Excuse me, I’m looking for…..and say a specific item or you can ask for a
    particular department. Could you tell me where the shoe department is?

    If you like to look around and don’t want any help, if someone from the stores asks “Can I help
    you?” or “Are you looking for anything in particular?” you can say:
    I’m just looking, thank you.

    If you want to know if something is your size and if it fits you can ask: Could I try this on? or
    Could you tell me where the fitting room is?
    And if you want a different size or color you could ask: Do you have this in a smaller size or do
    you have this in blue?

    You might want to ask other questions such as:


    How much does this cost?
    Is there an elevator in this store?
    Where are the escalators?
    Excuse me, where is the cash register?
    Could you tell me where customer service is?
    Is there a restroom in this store? Or Where’s the restroom?

    You might see signs such as:


    Buy one, get one free/two for one – so you can buy two of the same item for the price of one.
    Clearance sale – when you see a sale sign you know that there will be bargains in store, as it
    means the shop has specially reduced its prices. If it’s having a clearance it’s trying to get rid of
    old stock cheaply to make way for new stock.
    Reduced to clear – means its price has been lowered as the store owner wants to clear their
    shop of all of these products, often to make way for another, newer product.

    There are different types of shops in English for example:

    A Department store – a shop that sells many different items in different departments.
    Supermarket – a large shop that sells mostly food and household items.
    Grocery store (US) – a shop that sells food.
    Drugstore (US) – sells medicines and toiletries.
    Pharmacy (US) – sells medicines.
    Hardware store – hard goods, such as nails and screws.
    Pet shop – for pets and pet food.
    Flea market – a group of stalls selling old furniture or clothes.
    Let’s talk about prices:
    Pricey or expensive – is something you could say if you think something is priced too highly
    then you can describe it as pricey.
    Cheap – this is the opposite. It means a product is more affordable, but it can also be used in a
    negative way to describe something that has poor quality.

    You might have heard of idioms which are words or phrases that aren't meant to be taken
    literally.
    There are 5 common idioms about shopping:

    1: This is the perfect fit for you


    Before, we talked about how if something fits you, then it’s the right size for you. But we can
    also use this idiom to talk about other things. Like a company or startup for example you can
    say Platzi is the perfect fit for me.

    2: To be like a kid in a candy shop


    This idiom means that someone is very excited! Think about how excited children get when
    they go to a candy shop (which is another type of shop)

    3: To be all over the shop or all over the place - This means to be disorganized.

    4. Window shopping – This is when you don’t have the money to shop for things or if you are
    saving money, but walk around staring and daydreaming about owning what they have on
    display in the stores.

    5 - To shop around –This means to visit several different stores, comparing the price of the
    same product, so you can buy it at the cheapest price.

    In the next class you will learn about things you can say when you are meeting new people
    during a trip.
