Scenario 11: Shopping & Market

It costs five hundred rupees, which is quite reasonable for the quality. I am buying some beautiful decorations for my new 2BHK flat. Do you think this piece will look good in the living room?

102. Do you have change?

I only have a five-hundred rupee note in my wallet right now. Could you please check if you have change in your cash box? Otherwise, I can try paying through a UPI app on my phone instead.

103. Is this fresh?

Yes, the vegetables arrived straight from the farm early this morning. You can tell they are fresh by looking at the bright green leaves. I always prefer buying my daily groceries from this particular stall.

Yes, the shop is usually open until nine o’clock in the evening. However, they might close early on Sundays or public holidays. Let’s go quickly before they pull the shutters down for the night.

The main market is just a ten-minute walk from the railway station. You will find it right next to the big vegetable market in Badlapur. It is always bustling with people and vendors in the evenings.

107. Can you lower the price?

The price seems a bit too high for this specific item. If you can give me a small discount, I will definitely buy it right now. I am on a strict budget because I am saving up for a home loan.

108. Do you accept cards?

We accept all major debit and credit cards for payments above two hundred rupees. However, if the swiping machine is not working, you can use a mobile payment app. Cash is also perfectly fine if you have enough in your wallet.

109. Is this expensive?

It is slightly on the expensive side, but the quality justifies the price. If you compare it with other local brands, this one lasts much longer. I consider it a very good long-term investment for the house.

110. Do you have a smaller size?

This shirt feels a little too loose around my shoulders and waist. Could you please check the stockroom for a medium size? If you don’t have it, I might have to choose a completely different color.

Scenario 12: Directions (On the Road)

111. Where is the bus stop?

Walk straight down this main road for about two hundred meters. You will see the bus stop right outside the large government bank. There is usually a crowd waiting there during the morning office hours.

112. Is this the way to the station?

Yes, you are walking in the exact right direction to reach the railway station. Just keep going straight until you see the big clock tower. From there, take a left turn to reach the main ticket counter.

113. How far is the bank?

The bank is quite near, probably just a brisk five-minute walk from here. I am actually heading there myself to discuss some property legal formalities. We can walk together if you are going the exact same way.

114. Can I park here?

I am afraid parking is strictly not allowed on this side of the road. If you leave your car here, the traffic police will definitely tow it away. There is a paid parking lot just behind that blue building.

115. Is it left or right?

You need to take a sharp right turn at the next traffic signal. After that, keep driving for another kilometer until you see a petrol pump. The destination you are looking for will be on your left-hand side.

116. Is the road closed?

Yes, this road is temporarily closed due to some heavy construction work. They are repairing the underground water pipes right now. You will have to take the detour through the narrow lane behind us.

117. Where can I find a taxi?

You can usually find a taxi waiting near the main circle ahead. Alternatively, you can book a cab using an app on your smartphone. The app is usually faster and tells you the exact fare in advance.

118. Is the metro nearby?

There is no metro station in this immediate residential area right now. The nearest local train station is about two kilometers away. You can easily take a shared auto-rickshaw to get there quickly.

119. Do you know this address?

Yes, I am very familiar with this address and the surrounding neighborhood. It is a new residential complex where many people are buying flats. Let me draw you a quick map so you do not get lost.

120. Is it walking distance?

It is definitely walking distance if you enjoy a brisk fifteen-minute stroll. The weather is quite pleasant right now, so it should be a nice walk. However, if you are carrying heavy bags, I highly suggest taking a rickshaw.

Scenario 13: Taking Public Transport

121. When is the next bus?

The next bus is scheduled to arrive in exactly fifteen minutes. They usually run on time unless there is heavy traffic on the highway. We can grab a quick cup of tea while we wait on the bench.

Yes, this fast local train goes directly to the main Mumbai station. It will only stop at major junction stations along the way. Make sure you hold onto your bag tightly because it gets very crowded.

123. How much is the ticket?

A single journey ticket to the city center costs exactly thirty rupees. If you travel daily, buying a monthly pass is much cheaper and easier. Please keep the exact change ready to save time at the ticket counter.

124. Is this seat empty?

Yes, this window seat is completely empty and no one is sitting here. My friend Rahul was supposed to join me, but he missed the train. You are more than welcome to sit down and relax for the journey.

125. Can you move a little?

Could you please shift a little bit so I can sit down? My legs are really aching after standing for the last hour. Thank you so much for making some comfortable space for me.

126. Which platform is it?

The train you are looking for will arrive on platform number four. You have to cross the foot overbridge to get to the other side. Hurry up, because the train is already pulling into the station.

127. Is the train late?

Yes, the announcement just said the train is running twenty minutes late today. It seems there is some unexpected signal problem further down the tracks. We have no choice but to wait patiently on the platform until it arrives.

128. Where do I get down?

You need to get off at the fourth stop from this current station. I will let you know when we are approaching your final destination. Just make sure you move towards the door early to avoid the heavy rush.

129. Is it crowded inside?

Yes, it is extremely crowded inside the train compartment right now. It is peak office hour, so everyone is rushing to get to work. You will have to push a little bit to make your way in safely.

130. Did you buy a ticket?

Yes, I bought a return ticket from the counter before entering the station. Traveling without a valid ticket can lead to a very heavy fine. I always keep my ticket safely folded inside my wallet.

Scenario 14: At a Restaurant

131. Can I see the menu?

Certainly, here is the printed menu for you to look over. We have added some new special dishes today that you might really enjoy. Please take your time, and I will be back shortly to take your order.

Yes, we serve both regular filtered water and bottled mineral water. I will bring a fresh jug of regular water to your table right away. Let me know if you would prefer it chilled or at normal room temperature.

133. Is this dish spicy?

This particular chicken dish has a very strong and spicy flavor profile. If you prefer milder food, the chef can easily reduce the chili powder. I can also recommend the creamy paneer dish, which is not spicy at all.

134. Can I get extra spoons?

I will gladly bring some extra spoons and small plates for your table. It is always fun to share different dishes when eating with a big group. Let me grab those clean utensils from the kitchen right now.

The water in this bottle is chilled straight from our kitchen refrigerator. If it is too cold for your throat, I can mix in some normal water. Just let me know what temperature you prefer to drink.

138. Do you serve tea?

Yes, we serve an excellent masala chai that is very popular with our regular guests. It goes wonderfully well with the spicy evening snacks you just ordered. I will bring two steaming hot cups right away.

139. Is this table booked?

I am sorry, but this corner table has been reserved for another large family. However, we have a very nice, quiet table available near the glass window. Let me show you to your new seats over there.

140. Was the food good?

The food was absolutely delicious and the traditional spices were balanced perfectly. My friends Swapnil and Rajesh really enjoyed the rich chicken biryani. We will definitely be coming back to this wonderful restaurant again soon.

Scenario 15: Meeting a Friend

It really has been a very long time since we last met up. I think the last time we saw each other was during our trip to Tadoba Tiger Safari. We definitely need to sit down and catch up on everything we missed.

143. Are you busy now?

I am a little tied up with some important paperwork at the moment. However, I will be completely free in about an hour. Why don’t you wait at the cafe downstairs and I will join you soon?

144. Where are you going?

I am heading over to the broker’s office to discuss some financial investments. I am planning to buy some coal stocks and need a bit of advice. We can walk together if you are going in the same direction.

145. Do you want to hang out?

I would love to hang out and relax for a while with you. It has been a stressful week, and I desperately need a break from my routine. Let’s go to that new coffee shop that opened near the station.

146. Shall we grab coffee?

That sounds like a absolutely wonderful idea right now. I know a great little cafe that plays classic Bollywood music in the background. It is the perfect cozy place to sit and chat for hours.

147. How is your health?

My health is much better now after recovering from that mild cold last week. I have started doing yoga every single morning to build up my immunity. You must also take care of yourself in this constantly changing weather.

148. Is everything okay?

I completely agree with your thoughts on managing our daily expenses more carefully. Saving a little extra every month will help us pay the home loan faster. Let us sit down tonight and create a proper monthly budget.

Learning a new language is never entirely easy, but consistent practice makes a huge difference. If you dedicate just thirty minutes a day to speaking, you will see rapid progress. I always tell the students at The Linguist not to fear making mistakes.

269. Is it difficult?

The IELTS academic reading section can be quite difficult if you do not manage your time well. The texts are long and contain a lot of complex academic vocabulary. Practicing skimming and scanning techniques will make it much more manageable.

Yes, I tied up the garbage bags and handed them to the waste collector this morning. I also made sure to separate the dry plastic waste from the wet kitchen waste. Keeping our surroundings clean is a very important daily habit.

The kitchen is a bit messy right now because my wife and I just finished cooking dinner. There are a few pots and pans resting in the sink waiting to be washed. I will wipe down the counters and clean the dishes in a few minutes.

I arrived here about twenty minutes ago while you were still sleeping. I did not want to wake you up, so I sat quietly reading a magazine. I am glad you are finally awake and well-rested.

432. When do we eat?

We will serve dinner as soon as all the guests arrive at the house. The food is already cooked and being kept warm in the oven. It should not be more than thirty minutes of waiting now.

433. When is the show?

The theater performance is scheduled to start exactly at seven o’clock tonight. We should aim to reach the venue at least fifteen minutes early. Finding good parking in that area can be quite difficult sometimes.

434. When does the shop close?

The local supermarket usually closes its doors at ten o’clock at night. However, on Sundays, they tend to shut down an hour earlier. You still have plenty of time to go and buy your groceries.

435. When will you finish?

I expect to finish typing this long report by tomorrow afternoon. I still need to double-check all the financial data before I hit submit. I will email it to you the moment it is completely ready.

436. When can I call?

You can call me anytime after six o’clock in the evening. My office hours end by then, and I will be free to talk at length. I look forward to hearing all about your new travel plans.

437. When is the deadline?

The final deadline for submitting the application is the end of this month. We need to make sure all the paperwork is signed and attached properly. Missing this date means we will have to wait for the next year.

438. When did this happen?

This unfortunate incident happened late last night while everyone was asleep. The heavy storm caused a large tree branch to fall on the roof. We discovered the damage only when we woke up this morning.

439. When are you free?

I will be completely free this coming weekend without any prior commitments. We can finally catch up and go to that new cafe in town. Just text me the time and location that works best for you.

440. When should I come?

You should come over to my house around noon for lunch tomorrow. I am preparing a special feast, and I want you to taste it fresh. Let me know if you need any directions to my new place.

Scenario 45: Reason (Why)

441. Why are you late?

I am very sorry for being late today; my car broke down halfway here. I had to wait almost an hour for the mechanic to arrive and fix it. I promise to start earlier next time to avoid any delays.

442. Why is he crying?

He is crying because he accidentally dropped his favorite ice cream on the floor. He was really looking forward to eating it after playing in the park. I am going to buy him a new one to cheer him up.

443. Why did you do that?

I did that because I thought it would be a funny surprise for your birthday. I had no idea it would actually end up scaring you so much. Please accept my sincere apologies for the silly prank.

444. Why is it closed?

The museum is closed today for routine maintenance and deep cleaning. They usually shut the facility to the public on the first Monday of every month. We will have to plan our visit for another day this week.

445. Why are you laughing?

I am laughing because I just remembered a hilarious joke my colleague told me. It was about a funny misunderstanding during our team meeting yesterday. I will tell you the whole story when I stop giggling.

446. Why is it expensive?

This specific brand is expensive because it uses very high-quality imported materials. The durability of their products is known to be much better than the cheaper alternatives. It is generally considered a good long-term investment by most buyers.

447. Why did you call?

I called to check if you reached home safely after the heavy rain started. The roads were looking quite dangerous, and I was genuinely worried about you. I am very relieved to hear your voice right now.

448. Why is she happy?

She is incredibly happy because she just received a promotion at her job. All her hard work and dedication over the past year finally paid off. We are planning a small surprise dinner to celebrate her success tonight.

449. Why not?

We cannot go to the beach today because the weather forecast predicted a heavy storm. It is simply not safe to be near the ocean when there is lightning. We can always reschedule our trip for a sunny day next week.

450. Why are you waiting?

I am waiting here because my friend promised to pick me up from the station. His train was slightly delayed, so he should be arriving any minute now. Thank you for asking, but I am perfectly fine standing here.

Scenario 46: Method (How)

451. How do you do this?

I use the Riise Motilal Oswaal app on my phone to invest in the stock market. You just need to create an account and select the coal stocks you want to buy. The interface is very simple and guides you through the whole process.

452. How did you come?

I took the fast local train from Mumbai directly to Badlapur station today. It was much quicker than driving a car through the heavy evening traffic. Then I just walked for ten minutes to reach your building.

456. How much water?

You should add about two cups of water to the pot to boil the rice. Make sure you do not add too much, or it will become very sticky. Let it simmer on low heat until the water completely evaporates.

The new shopping mall is about three kilometers away from our apartment. We can easily reach there in fifteen minutes if we take an auto-rickshaw. Walking there might take a bit too long in this sunny weather.
