[00:05.09]Talking about thihgs you've bought
[00:12.25]Oh,I like those shoes.Are they new?
[00:17.50]Yes,I only bought them a few days ago.
[00:22.26]They're Really nice.They really suit you.
[00:27.61]Thanks.I wasn't sure about them to begin with,but I really like them now.
[00:34.77]Yes,I lvoe the design.Where did you get them?
[00:40.62]From this great shop in hockley.
[00:45.06]They've got a Sale on at the Moment,and I just couldn't resist 1 them.
[00:51.30]I can imagine.How much were they?
[00:56.37]They were twenty-nine,ninety-nine,reduced from sixty-Five.
[01:02.30]Wow!That's Brilliant!Whereabouts exactly is this shop?
[01:08.96]I might try to go there later.
[01:13.01]Well,do you know where castle street is?
[01:18.79]Yes,I think so.
[01:22.31]Well,as you're going down the hill it's about halfway 2 down,on the left.
[01:30.46]I think it's called barrett's.
[01:34.82]Oh right.Well,Thanks for telling me.
[01:39.40]That's OK.Let me know if you buy anything!
[01:44.44]My husband has just come home from the supermarket.
[01:54.18]He doesn't usually do the shopping.
[01:58.44]In fact,he doesn't usually do any housework,but today I'm very busy.
[02:05.20]I had an appointment at the hospital,
[02:09.75]so he said he'd give me a hand
[02:12.99]and buy some food for dinner and some things for the house.
[02:17.95]It has taken him two hours more than it normally 3 takes me!
[02:23.39]As we unpack 4 the bags,he suddenly says,'Oh no!I forgot to buy the oil!'
[02:31.93]Then,a moment later,'Oh no!You sugar as well,didn't you?
[02:39.37]Sorry,I forgot.'
[02:42.85]Then I ask,'Did you get any rice?
[02:47.99]'You wanted rice?'he replies.
[02:52.75]'Of course I wanted rice.Waht do we normally eat every day?
[02:58.31]It was on the shoppinmg list I gave you.
[03:02.39]Sorry.I left it in the car.
[03:06.93]I then notice what he HAS bought.
[03:11.90]He's got six tins of pineapple-they were on special offer;
[03:17.96]two kilos of cheese-it was reduced because tomorrow is its sell-by date;
[03:25.01]and a large jar of chocolate spread-he likes it.
[03:31.17]When I complain about this,
[03:35.54]he gets upset and says he was only trying to help,
[03:40.58]and I can do it next time if I don't like the way he does it.
[03:45.85]I don't know.Sometimes I get angry about things like this,
[03:53.01]but then at other times I almost feel sorry for him.
[03:58.16]He is 32 years old and he doesn't know how to look after himself.
[04:05.13]He can't cook,he can't iron 5 his own shirt,
[04:10.46]he doesn't know how the washing machine works 6
[04:14.69]and obviously 7 he doesn't know how to do the shopping.
[04:19.42]He doesn't really think this is men's work.
[04:24.88]That's what his parents taught him.
[04:28.75]Before he married me,he lived at home.
[04:32.88]His mother and sisters did everything for him.
[04:37.52]Now,I sometimes have to go away on business-
[04:42.70]I'm a marketing 8 manager for a multinational 9 company-and when I do,
[04:49.46]he gets his mother to come and stay with him and the children.
[04:54.32]I think my husband is too old to change now,
[05:00.28]but I'm bringing up my son and daughter in a different way.
[05:05.53]I want my son to know how to cook and sew and keep the house clean,
[05:11.98]just like my daughter can.
[05:15.64]My son's friends made fun of him one day
[05:20.91]when they found out he was making cakes.
[05:25.07]They said he was a girl and he would never be a real man.
[05:30.40]But I tell him,if you don't learn,you will always be a child.
[05:36.74]A real man can look after himself and support his wife by sharing the housework.
[05:44.40]When he is older,he will thank me-and so will his wife!
[05:51.24]4 While you listen
[06:01.40]Conversation 1
[06:04.56]What do you think of this?
[06:07.73]It's really nice.It really suits you.Is it waterproof 10?
[06:13.79]Yes,yes,totally,which is just what I need if we're going to go camping.
[06:19.66]Yes.Don't you think it's a bit too big?
[06:24.10]Yes,maybe a bit,Have they got anything smaller?
[06:29.98]I can't see anything here.I'll ask.Excuse me.
[06:35.44]Yes sir.Have you got something like this,but in a smaller size?
[06:40.90]I'm afraid that's all we have.You could try Black's.
[06:46.78]It's another camping shop on Judd St.
[06:51.32]It's just off this road,aobut halfway down.
[06:56.00]Right,OK.Thanks.I'll try there.
[07:00.75]Conversation 2
[07:04.41]I've got the bread.Do we need anything else?
[07:09.66]Yes,I must get some shampoo.I forgot to bring some with me.
[07:16.19]OK.Where is it?
[07:20.35]Have you seen any?
[07:23.82]No,let me ask this guy.He looks as if he works here.
[07:30.06]Excuse me,Where's the shampoo?
[07:35.03]I'm afraid it's at the other end of the store.
[07:40.90]The second aisle 11 from the end.
[07:45.35]OK.Thanks...Look at this.Don't they sell it in bottles less than a litre 12?
[07:52.61]They're not very expensive,though,are they?
[07:57.68]It's not that.It's just that it's a bit too much.
[08:02.72]I don't want to have to carry it around with me.
[08:06.97]Oh forget it.I'll leave it.
[08:11.73]I just won't wash my hair for a few days.
[08:17.08]Are you sure?That's disgusting 13!No,it'll be OK.
[08:23.43]All right.Is that it then? You don't need anything else from here?
[08:30.51]No,but mustn't forget to go to the bank later.
[08:35.55]I need to cash some travellers'cheques.
[08:39.63]Conversation 3
[08:43.89]Hello.I bought these batteries 14 from you earlier,but they're the wrong size.
[08:50.73]Can I change them?
[08:54.00]Yes,I guess so.What size do you want?
[08:58.85]The next size down,if you've got them.
[09:03.22]Yes,those ones.
[09:06.77]They're actually ten pence 15 more expensive.
[09:10.82]Oh right,OK.Can I have a paper as well?
[09:16.46]That's 1.10 please.Have you got anything smaller?
[09:22.63]I haven't got any 5 notes.
[09:26.57]Sorry,I've just been to the cashpoint.
[09:30.80]Never mind.You'll have to have coins.
[09:35.35]That's two,three,four,five,six,seven,eight,nine,and ten.
[09:43.60]OK.Thnaks.Sorry about that.
