Welcome to Blabbinit. This is Missy. In this podcast I would like to talk about doing the laundry.

Laundry is not an easy task in my house. Kids always like to dirty their clothes and little girls like to change their clothes 20 times per day in order to look pretty.

When clothes are dirty sometimes people throw them on the floor. Other people put them in baskets or in hampers. A basket has no lid and a hamper has a lid to cover the dirty clothes.

Hello! This is Missy from Southern California. Welcome to Blabbinit.

We are going to have a short dialogue today between a customer and a cashier at a grocery store. A grocery store is a place where people go to buy food. A customer is the person who is buying the food and the cashier is the person who is working and accepting the money for the store.

Here goes:

Hello how are you today ma’am?

I am fine, and you?

Very good thanks. The total for your food is $69.98

Okay, I would like to pay by ATM card.

That is fine. Please slide your card through the machine, enter your PIN, and the purchase will be processed.

Okay. Thank you.
