ESL Podcast 446 – Going to a Home Improvement Store
时间：2019-02-18 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Paige: I think we can get everything we need to fix up the house in one trip. What do you think?
Vern: We can try. It seems like everybody had the same thought when they woke up this morning: Go to the home improvement store!
Paige: Yeah, it’s a little crowded, but I still think we can get all we need today.
Vern: To do that, I think we need to split up. Let’s look at our list and divvy it up.
Paige: Okay, we need to get some wiring to install the new lights. I’ll go to the electrical department for that.
Vern: All right. We need lumber 1 for the new fence, so I’ll go to the building materials department.
Paige: What about the pipes and fixtures 2 we need for the bathroom? Can you go to the plumbing 3 department for those, while I go to the hardware department for the tools?
Vern: Okay, I can do that, but aren’t you feeling tired already? I know I am.
Paige: Come on. How are we supposed to be weekend warriors 4 if we can’t even do some simple shopping? We’ll meet in the garden department afterwards, okay?
Vern: Whatever you say.
Paige: Ready, set, go!
