Labels Providing Information on Ingredients of Tinned Food
Sue: Look at this one here. It’s Chicken Ragout with Brussels Sprout. I think I’ll get one. You know, I don’t really feel like cooking this weekend.
Mary: Oh, that sounds great! Do you think there is enough chicken in it?
Sue: Let’s look at the label. It says the following: “ingredients – 10 ounces of chicken, 10 ounces of Brussels Sprout, 5 ounces of peas, herbs and spices.”
Mary: I think it sounds great! Well, I’ll also get two tins of Chicken Ragout. I’m sure John will like it, too.
Sue: Do you want to buy anything else?
Mary: Not really. I think we can go to the checkout and pay.

Shopping for Tins in the Supermarket
Sue: Hi Mary! How are you?
Mary: Hi Sue! I’m fine, thanks. You know, I’m just doing my weekend shopping.
Sue: Really? What do you want to buy?
Mary: Well, I’m planning to buy some tins. You see we’re going to Brighton for a week.
Sue: Really? Are you going with John?
Mary: Yes, of course. However, we haven’t got too much money. So we want to have tinned food for dinner.
Sue: Well, there are dozens of different tins along this aisle. For example, look at this one here. It’s bean soup.
I’ve tried it, and it tastes great!
Mary: Do you think it’s complicated to prepare it?
Sue: No, it isn’t. Let’s just look at what the label says. It says: put it on a plastic plate, and warm it up in the microwave oven. You needn’t warm it longer than 3 minutes.
Mary: OK, I think I’ll get three tins of bean soup. But I think I’ll have to find at least three other tinned meals that we can have for dinner. And if we’re very hungry, we can still go to small restaurant to have a slice of pizza.

Conversation about the Expiry Date
Customer: Excuse me. May I ask you a question?
Manager: Yes, madam.
Customer: I’d like to buy some tinned beef stew. I’ve looked at this one, and I’ve realised that the expiration date on this tin is 20th March, and today is 5th April!
Manager: Oh, I’m very sorry madam! I’ll fetch a good one for you from our storeroom in a tick.
Customer: Thank you!
Manager: Here you are, madam. And I’d like to repeat what I’ve said: I can hardly say how sorry I am!
Customer: It’s OK, thank you!
