Welcome to Week 3: Going Grocery Shopping
Welcome to Week 3 of the Weekly Four-Skill English Challenge! This week, you’ll explore one of the most common everyday activities in Canada—going grocery shopping. Whether you’re shopping for fresh fruit and vegetables, comparing prices, or paying at the checkout, knowing the right English words and phrases can make your shopping experience easier and more enjoyable.
In this challenge, you’ll practise all four language skills through activities based on real-life situations. You’ll start by listening to a conversation about grocery shopping, then discuss your own shopping habits, read about a typical trip to the grocery store, and write about your own experience. Along the way, you’ll learn useful vocabulary, improve your confidence, and discover a helpful shopping tip for life in Canada.
By the end of this week’s challenge, you’ll be able to:
- understand common grocery shopping conversations;
- use everyday shopping vocabulary with confidence;
- ask and answer simple questions in a store;
- describe your shopping habits and experiences in English; and
- learn about shopping practices in Canada, including using reusable bags and finding items on sale.
Take your time, complete each activity, and don’t worry about making mistakes—they’re an important part of learning. Every week you finish brings you one step closer to speaking English with greater confidence in everyday life.
Happy learning, and enjoy your grocery shopping adventure!
