Lesson 8   Eighth Lesson   The shops

Part 1

Mr. Hunt: Today the women are going to Oxford Street to shop. Both of the girls and my wife are going. They don’t want Simon and me with them. Thank goodness! Women are terrible shoppers. They spend a lot of time and they only buy a few things. I only spend a little time and I buy a lot of things. Sometimes my wife shops all day and she doesn’t buy anything. She tries on clothes all day and then doesn’t bring anything home. This seems mad! She’s too fussy. She only likes a few colours. She only likes blue, green and yellow. Her favourite colour is either blue or green. I don’t know which one. She doesn’t like red and pink. They’re too bright. They don’t suit her. And brown and grey aren’t bright enough. Oh, she’s fussy!
