ESL Podcast 574 – Shopping for Produce

This is a monologue about one shopped in a supermarket. Narrator first vowed to eat healther but later when passing by the cookie aisle, the narrator curved.

1. made a beeline for: To move swiftly in a direct, straight course.
2. picked over: To sort out or examine item by item.
3. wilted: To cause to droop or lose freshness
4. impulse buys: buy on impulse without proper reflection.
5. all in one sitting: during a short period of time
6. fall off the wagon: to resume any previously stopped behavior including smoking, drug use, overeating, or any other disavowed behavior.

In the listening, I learned some expressions and phrases i rarely use in writing. I think ESL Podcast provides good interesting topics. Listening one small topic everyday can improve listening skill unconsciously.
