Save time and energy finding what you need at a shopping mall by watching this useful lesson. Learn the key vocabulary to describe different kinds of stores and services.
Thanks a lot! You are perfect as always, Rebecca. So, now I will not have any problems with shopping. Just one thing. Can you explain, please, a little bit more about plaza? What is shopping plaza exactly? You said it’s located outdoors. Is these some of small stores on the same area? Or maybe this is just a kind of selling outside ? I am asking because, it is very popular in my country to give English names to different places like shops, cafes, etc. We have NK Plaza Store, for example, but I think after your lesson that this place could be named NK Mall, Not NK Plaza, because this place is a many different stores inside the same building.

In North America, a shopping plaza consists of a few stores that are grouped together outdoors and a shopping mall consists of many stores that are grouped together indoors. That’s the main difference. So I think your observation makes sense! All the best to you.
Hi Rebecca! Nice presentation. Would it be even nicer instead of writing down all the vocab items, describe it first, then elicit it from the students to engage them more. IOW, making it more student-centered? If you give away all the lexis, you are not inviting student involvement. Then again, you did a great job, if this is just meant for the video presentation.
Thanks kindly for your suggestions; they are good ones. In general, we try to keep the video lessons fairly short so people can watch them easily and that is why the vocabulary is already written on the board. In a real classroom, there is more time to elicit answers from the students, as you rightly recommended. Thanks for caring and all the best to you.
thanks your good explanation really i get many thing i was confuse when i wanna to go the malls or plaza justice i am understand everything about the malls and plaza
Hi! Thank you for another great lesson. I’d like to point out some technical problems. The quality of the sound is worse than of the others teachers. I hope that my remark will help all users of engvid.
I’m looking forward to a new lesson. Greets.
Sorry about the sound. There was a technical problem when we recorded a few lessons. It has been fixed. Thanks for your feedback and my best to you.

Good morning mrs Rebecca.Would you mind if i asked you a question. Which tense for this sentence:
I (live) in Canada for ten years.
1.I lived here for 10 years. If I understand this situation finished in the past.
2.I have lived in Canada for 10 years. If I understand this situation is happaning.
Which sentence is right? Thanks for your help.
If you do not live in Canada anymore, then the first sentence is correct.
If you starting living in Canada 10 years ago and still live there now, then the second sentence is correct.
Hi Rebecca!
Adrian here, from Romania.
Very useful your lesson and I really like your teaching style.
But I have a question about your comment. If he/she starting living in Canada 10 years ago and still live there now, shouldn’t we use present perfect continuous? (I have been living in Canada for 10 years)
Thank you for your time.
You could say that too, Adrian. Both tenses would work in this situation. My best to you.

Hi Rebecca,
while i was surfing into the Internet, i stopped by your very interesting as well as practical presentation about shopping in a mall. I would like to suggest if you don’t mind to provide more about shopping. For example, what and how should one talk about when being to different kinds of shops. In other words, if I want to be to the appliance section (shop) for looking for a reliable vacuum cleaner or whatever, how I could talk to the salesman.
Thank you very much indeed.
All the best for you

Please check my answer to Moazzam above. All the best, Anil.
Rebecca, what is the difference between a department store and a mall? They both seem to be inside and they both have different sections.
A mall is a covered space with many different stores inside, some large and some small.
A department store is one large store, such as Sears, with many different departments, often on several floors.
Hope this helps! My best to you.
so nice leassons by rebecca
