Woman: What are you reading?
Man: Oh, it's some information about a new kind of window. It says they help keep your
house cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Woman: It would be really expensive to replace all the windows in our house.
Man: Yeah, but, if we invest in new windows now, we'll save a lot of money on
electricity and gas. And new windows would increase the value of the house if we
decide to sell it someday.
Woman: True. Hm. Let me read that when you're done.

Riko: In my opinion, the best coffee shop by far is a place not far from my office. I go
there almost every day. There are a lot of trendy coffee shops on the main street, but
this one is on a little side street. The coffee is way better than in all the other coffee
shops, and you can rely on the best quality every time! If I have some extra time in the
morning, I treat myself to one of their delicious muffins and take advantage of the free
Wi-Fi to do some work while I have my breakfast. I really like the atmosphere. It's quiet
and relaxed – there are nowhere near as many people there as in the other places on
the main street. And they don't charge as much as those other places either.
Man: [sigh] Why do you think there are so many traffic jams these days?
Woman: I don't know. People just love taking their cars when they don't really need to. I
guess people prefer to sit in a traffic jam than to get stuck for hours in a subway tunnel.
It's probably less stressful.
Man: Yeah, mass transit is bad, but driving isn't much better. Roads, highways, bridges,
tunnels, and don't forget railways – all that aging infrastructure needs to be updated,
like, yesterday! No wonder we have problems getting from point A to point B.
Woman: You're right, but even if they start tomorrow, they can't update everything at
one time. I mean, it's not just transportation. The sewer system is terrible, too. Every
time it rains, the streets flood, electrical lines come down, and the power supply is cut
off. People have no power or water for days sometimes.
Man: Well, the electrical grid is a problem in dry weather, too. Every summer, when
people run their air conditioners non-stop, there are power cuts all over the city.
Woman: Water pipes, gas pipes, electrical lines… all the power supplies that make
modern life possible, but we take for granted – they all need updating or replacement.
Man: I wouldn't want to be in charge of deciding what gets fixed first! Everything's
urgent! The only thing that gets better is the communications network. I mean, the 5G
broadband coverage we have now is great!
Woman: I know! Reliable internet service is everything!

Jee-hyo: Holly, I have to tell you something. I don't even know how to say it.
Holly: Is everything OK? You're making me nervous!
Jee-hyo: I did the dumbest thing. I can't tell you how sorry I am.
Holly: Oh, no, what happened?
Jee-hyo: Do you remember that gold watch you lent me, for my job interview on
Friday.
Holly: [a bit upset] Don't tell me you lost it!
Jee-hyo: No! I still have it, but, well, I was running to catch the bus and I dropped my
bag. I picked it up and checked inside. Then I saw your watch, it's broken.
Holly: What’s wrong with it?
Jee-hyo: There's a big crack in the glass. I can't believe I did that. I'm really sorry.
Holly: [relieved] Oh, it's not the end of the world. I can replace the glass. That shouldn't
be too expensive. It's really no big deal.
Jee-hyo: Really? I'm so happy you're not angry. I'll pay for the repairs.
Holly: Really, it’s fine.
Hi, welcome to "The Consumer", a podcast for shoppers. Today, we're looking at
potential problems with shopping online and how to avoid them.
I'm sure we've all experienced this: You're really excited about something you bought
online, but then when you open the box, the product really isn't what you expected. It's
disappointing, but no surprise when you realize that more than 30 percent of all
products bought online are returned. That's a lot of disappointment!
So, what can we do about it? Well, first of all, be careful which online shopping site you
use. Check out user reviews on consumer forums about user experience. This is easy,
just type the name of the site and "review" in a search engine. If there are a lot of
complaints or negative reviews, consider using a different shopping site.
Secondly, check out photos of the product. The more photos there are, the better. If
you're buying clothes, look for photos of the clothes on a model, and be sure to check
the size guide. If there's no size guide and no photos of the clothes on an actual person,
beware!
Another important thing to do is to read the customer reviews for each product. If there
are no reviews on the site, that could be a warning sign. If all the reviews are super
positive, that might also be a danger sign. It could mean that the site is paying people to
write positive reviews or offering discounts or free products in return for positive
reviews.
And if, after all this, you decide to go ahead and buy the product, check the returns
policy, just in case!
So, those are our top tips for making good choices when shopping online. We hope
they've been useful. If you have any stories of online shopping experiences – good or
bad, we'd love to hear them! Send us an email or leave a comment on our website.
We'll read some of the best stories in our next episode!

Sofia: Well, today's been a really good day, all in all. I mean, for a start it was a holiday,
so I didn't have to go to work! It was really warm and sunny in the morning, so a few of
us decided to take a drive out into the countryside and make the most of it. We packed
a picnic and our swimsuits, and we headed to a lake in the middle of a forest that isn't
too far away. There was a lot of traffic at first, but it was worth it. It was way more
beautiful than I ever imagined. The only bad thing was that there was a little rainstorm
around noon. It came up suddenly, so our picnic got a little wet, but it was no big deal.
The water was warm enough to swim in, so we spent the whole afternoon in the lake.
Then, we came back to the city, and now we're going for pizza. It's been really great
day!
