📝 Podcast Transcript
Hello and welcome to Word Kitchen! I am Maya.
And I am Lena. Today we talk about money and shopping.
Yes! Money is important. We use money every day.
That is right. Money helps us buy food, clothes, and many things.
When I go to the shop, I take my money with me.
Me too! And I keep my money in my wallet. My wallet is small and red.
A wallet is a good place for money. I keep my coins in my wallet too.
A coin is small money. A coin is round and made of metal.
I like coins. I have a big old coin from my trip. It is very special to me.
Wow! I put my coins in a small box at home. Every coin is money, after all.
Yes, every coin counts! Now, let us talk about price. The price is how much a thing costs.
The price is on a small tag. I always look at the price before I buy anything.
That is a good idea. The price can be high or low. I like a low price.
Me too. I love cheap things. Cheap means it costs little money.
This bread is cheap. I buy this cheap bread every day.
That cheap shirt is nice too. Do you like cheap shoes, Maya?
Yes, I do! But some things are expensive. Expensive means it costs a lot of money.
That car is expensive. The price of that car is very high.
I cannot buy an expensive car. I do not have that much money.
Me neither. But I can buy a cheap bike. The price of the bike is good.
When we buy something, we pay. To pay means to give money for it.
I pay for my food at the shop. I pay with my card or with cash.
Cash is paper money and coins. I like to pay with cash.
I pay with cash too. Cash is easy. I take the cash from my wallet.
To buy means to get something with money. I buy bread every day.
I buy milk and eggs. We buy food every week for the family.
When I buy a gift, I look at the price first. A cheap gift can still be very nice.
That is true! And to sell means to give something and get money. Shops sell food to us.
They sell bread at the bakery. They sell milk at the little shop near my home.
My friend sells flowers. She sells flowers every day at the market.
That is nice! I could sell my old bike, but no, I want to keep it!
Ha! Okay, let us review our ten words. Money is what we use to pay for things.
A coin is small metal money. A wallet keeps our money safe inside.
The price tells us how much a thing costs. Cheap means a low price, and expensive means a high price.
We pay when we buy something. We can pay with cash from our wallet.
Shops sell things to us. We buy, and they sell. That is shopping!
Great work today! Use these words when you shop. Count your money, check the price, and have fun!
See you next time on Word Kitchen. Bye, everyone!
