Shopping / 쇼핑 

입이 트이는 영어 (2019.10.08)

#1

In the past, I went to offline stores to buy things.

 

I bought clothes at department store or di!scount store and I bought groceries at supermaket.

 

But nowadays, I shop online very often and it has become the norm.
*has become the norm 일상이 됐다, 당연하게 됐다.

 

If i buy a type of food regularly, I order it online and have it delivered.

 

All I have to do is just to pick and choose an item and pay for it.
*pick and choose 따져보고/신중하게 고르다

 

Buying things has really become a piece of cake

Last weekend, I hit up a shopping mall to buy some clothes for autumn.
*hip up ~를 가다

I wanted to buy a light jacket and a sweather.

The mall was teeming with people who were cloth shopping like me
*teeming with ~로 바글거리다 (=packed with=crowded with)

I looked around a few stores and tried on clothing that caught my eye
*catch one's eye

After comparing prices, I bought a few items. 

The jacket was on the pricey side so I paid for it in installments. 
*on the pricey side 비싼 편
*in installments 할부로

I also saw some pretty shoes.

 

Getting shoes was not part of the plan but I liked them so much that I bought them.
