Is retail therapy good for you? 6 Minute English

[@thopham9212]

Thank you BBC Team! You guys do a great job. This program helps me a lot! My listening skill is improving!

[@learnvietnamesewithxuan3910]

Listening skills, not skill

[@huycuongphan9558]

It' totally right for me. When i feel down, i also go shopping of books not drinks, clothes, it makes me feel cosy, comfortable a lot

[@hathanh5292]

Some people tend to go in for a bit of retail therapy when they're down in the dumps, and they can end up getting a pang of regret as they realize that they've spent a lot of money on things they don't really need. ( my way of recapping words I've learned)

[@ainaarbeit6578]

When I fell down in dumps I like to organise or clean the house , that is my retail therapy ... But sometimes Im a buyer's remorse too 😂 . If I continue to listen to the BBC learning, it will do the trick

[@maqam100]

Thanks BBC

[@gayathrik8569]

Whenever I feel down in the dumps, I used to clean my house because I hate to shop in bad mood so I never needed retail therapy. However, my colleagues are fans of retail therapy but later they will get pang of regret for the clothes they purchased.

Thank you, BBC.

whenever I feel down in dumps. I often indulge myself by cooking my favorite dishes. I've learned these from youtube.it's quite good. Actually, it does the trick. my mind feels cozy because of the way I treated myself so good )). The reason why I don't treat myself by retail therapy because I don't have much money so I don't feel buyer's remorse later on

I thought 1) USA was the answer. Surprised me the UK really is. Yes, your brain want to be happy by buying things you need or not. When I feeling down chocolate is my placebo and a good dosis of glucose. Hi from 🇲🇽 Mexico.

"I want it, i got it" *Depression joins chat**

[@쭈구리-o6n]

This is exactly what marketing is aiming to. Look at yourself you're in such a miserable but once you buy it, you will be happy.

[@ki-ky9or]

what is meant by cosy?

[@engin7787]

The giant corporations which are producing consumer's goods have trained us as a good responding robot when things don't go right to ," pamper" us with buying unnecessary consumers' goods is the way to go!

[@sinfarozasinfaroza5827]

I am glad to know that, I 'm sure.

[@bekzodshirinov7373]

But you can listen to it, can't you Marziyeh? And you can follow the conversation using the subtitles, if you like. Activate them in the lower right-hand corner of the player.

I think Catherine would be happy when she achieves the results she wanted. but why does she say "I'm sad"?

[@dggcdggf1267]

Retail therapy is a strange concept When I feel down in the dumps ,I just hit the sack or watch some FRIENDS maybe

[@Aravinthsilva]
