Welcome back, friends.
Today we're talking about Mark's Problem.
He got two sweaters as a gift, and he has to return one of them.
Now have any of you had to return something before?
Maybe you returned something and you bought something else.
Now the store that Mark went to was at a department store.
You can buy many things there.
What do you buy at a department store?
Right now let's move on to Conversation C.
They have nice clothes.
I know.
I can find something there.
Or I can just get store credit.
That's good, too.
I don't really need any more clothes now.
I got clothes for Christmas.
Most of them still have the tags on them.
When will you return the sweater?
Sometime soon.
I only have 30 days to return it.
Well, friends, let's keep learning about department stores.
Well, sometimes when you return something to a store, you can get something
called store credit.
Ooh, I like store credit.
When you have store credit, you don't have to buy something right away.
You can wait and buy something until you find something else that you like.
That's right.
With store credit, you can wait awhile.
Katie, have you used store credit before?
Yes, I have.
One time I got a dress for Christmas.
I didn't really like it, so I returned it to the store.
But I didn't really need any more clothes.
So the store gave me credit.
And I went back a month later to buy something.
Well, that's great.
And Katie, you used our Use It sentence for today.
Let's learn about it together right now.
Today, we'll see how to use the pattern:
I don't really do something any more something now.
For example, I don't really want any more cake now.
Or here's another one.
I don't really need any more money now.
So remember to use it!
(Music).
Well, that is a great sentence to know.
Friends, like Elizabeth said, make sure that you try to use it today.
Yes, it is very important to try to use it.
Now when you buy things at the store, they have something on them.
Oh. I know what you're talking about, Nathan.
He's talking about the tags.
That's right.
Tags mean that the clothes are still new.
You have to cut the tags off when you want to wear the clothes at home.
I sometimes buy something, then take it home and leave the tags on them.
If the tags are still on the clothes, I can return them later if I need to.
OK. Now Christina wants to talk to us about returning things.
Let's go to see her now.
(Chinese).
Well, that was some great help from Christina.
Right now it's time for us to review today's key words.
Say them with us now.
Our first key word is:
sweater.
sweater.
Wear a sweater.
It's cold outside.
department store.
department store.
I bought the gift at a department store.
receipt.
receipt.
When I bought a book, I got a receipt.
probably.
probably.
I'll probably stay home tonight.
tag.

This new hat still has a tag on it.
Those are all of our key words.
Now it's time to review all of today's conversations.
Hi, Mark!
Nice sweater.
Did you get it for Christmas?
Thanks, Ken.
Yes, my mom gave it to me for Christmas.
And...
And what?
And my aunt gave me the same sweater.
So I have two.
Are you going to return one of them?
Yes. I'll return the one from my aunt.
She gave me a gift receipt with it.
That was nice.
Then you can return it easily.
I know.
My aunt always gives gift receipts with her gifts.
Are you going to get something else or just take cash?
I'll probably get something else.
Most stores won't give you cash when you return something.
True. Where did she buy the sweater?
She got it at Nelson's Department Store.
They have nice clothes.
I know.
I can find something there or I can just get store credit.
That's good, too.
I don't really need any more clothes now.
I got clothes for Christmas.
Most of them still have the tags on them.
When will you return the sweater?
Sometime soon.
I only have 30 days to return it.
(Music).
Hello, Ginger.
Oh. Oh. Hello, Monkey Man.
You look great today.
Really?
Yeah. Ooh, I love what you're wearing.
It looks so good.
I love it!
Well, Ginger, what do you love about it?
It's a great color.
Well, yeah. It's the same color as you!
Yeah. And it's really hairy, too.
Yeah. Hairy just like you.
Yeah. You look just like a monkey.
Yeah. I look just like you!
Yeah. That's why I gave it to you, Monkey Man.
Yes, Ginger.
Well, thank you for this um... unusual gift.
Oh. You're welcome.
I'm glad you like it.
Well, Ginger, I... I never really said that I liked it.
But I'm sure you do.
Oh, we look the same.
So cute.
Yeah.
(Music).
Well, that's about all the time that we have for today.
Friends, remember that when you return something to a store, you have to have a
receipt.
Yes. And also remember what Christina taught you.
You usually only have 30 days to return it.
So take your receipt or gift receipt back to the store when you need to return
something.
Yeah. You can get store credit there.
Or maybe you can get cash.
Or you could even buy something new.
Buy something that you need.
Those are all great ideas.
I sometimes return things on my birthday, then buy something else I need later.
Well, now we need to go.
But make sure and join us again tomorrow.
We'll be here with a new lesson right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
(Music).
