Emma:
Do you need anything from the grocery store?

Tiam:
Yeah, my fridge is almost empty.

Emma:
Perfect! I need a few things too.

(They walk into the store.)

Tiam:
Wow, there are so many choices.

Emma:
Welcome to an American supermarket!

Tiam:
I was just looking for milk.

Emma:
What kind? Whole milk, low-fat, oat milk, almond milk...?

Tiam:
(Laughs) I had no idea there were so many!

Emma:
You'll get used to it.

Tiam:
I also need eggs, bread, and fruit.

Emma:
The fruit section is over there.

Tiam:
These strawberries look really fresh.

Emma:
They do. I'm getting some too.

(A few minutes later.)

Tiam:
Do I need to bring my own shopping bag?

Emma:
Some people do, but the store also has bags.

Tiam:
Good to know.

(At the checkout.)

Cashier:
Hi! Did you find everything you were looking for?

Tiam:
Yes, thanks.

Cashier:
Would you like a receipt?

Tiam:
Yes, please.

(Outside the store.)

Emma:
That was easy.

Tiam:
Thanks for helping me. I learned a few new words today.

Emma:
Next time, you'll be the shopping expert.

C'est bientôt vendredi 13, pour certains ça porte bonheur pour d'autres ça porte malheur, mais pour être honnête j'ai longtemps été indifférente à cette date. Malheureusement, j'ai changé d'avis quand nous avons connu les attentats de Paris le vendredi 13 Novembre 2015, depuis j'y pense à chaque vendredi 13. Ce jour-là, je voulais aller à Paris après le travail, j'avais envoyé un message à une amie pour se retrouver et boire un verre ensemble, mais le temps que je me prépare j'ai manqué mon train, et finalement le train suivant me faisait arriver trop tard alors on a annulé. Une chance pour moi tandis que d'autres ont vécu le pire... Mais bon, changeons de sujet, récemment j'ai discuté avec quelques élèves des superstitions qu'ils ont et c'était super intéressant, honnêtement je croyais que je n’étais superstitieuse, c'est vrai, je n'ai jamais considéré que passer sous une échelle ou voir un chat noir pouvait être un mauvais signe mais quand même j’ai réalisé que je croise toujours les doigts quand on parle de malheur, que je n’accepterais jamais d’ouvrir un parapluie à l’intérieur d’une maison ou de laisser une baguette à l’envers, pas la peine de penser à prendre l’avion un vendredi 13 d'ailleurs quelques compagnies aériennes n'ont même pas de rangée numéro 13 dans leurs avions, et si un jour au hasard d'une promenade je venais à trouver un trèfle à quatre feuilles je pense que je sauterais de joie. Alors finalement peut-être que je suis un peu superstitieuse. D'ailleurs ça m'a fait un peu bizarre quand j'ai réalisé que cet épisode serait le numéro 13 sur le thème du vendredi 13 ! Aïe ! Mais il paraît que ça porte malheur d'être superstitieux alors j'ai décidé de publier quand même cet épisode !
