Elena: I went shopping yesterday. I found such a nice jacket!
Pablo: Was it expensive?
E: It was on sale, so it wasn't too bad. The original [ə'rɪdʒɪnəl] price was $200, but I got a 50% discount. It was such a good deal that I couldn't say no.
P: That's great. Was the store crowded ['kraʊdɪd] (llena de gente)?
E: So crowded that I had to wait thirty minutes to pay. And they didn't have enough cashiers [kæ'ʃɪrz] (cajeros). The line was so long!
P: I hate shopping when it's too crowded. I'd rather shop online.
E: Me too, but I wanted to try on the jacket first. The last one I bought online was too small. And the one before that wasn't warm enough.
P: Did the jacket fit?
E: Perfectly. It's so comfortable that I wore it home.
Estudiar todo de golpe sirve para el examen de mañana, pero no para memorizar conceptos a largo plazo. Espaciar las sesiones de estudio dejando horas e incluso días de por medio es mucho más eficaz.
