Welcome to English A1 Speaking & Writing #048.
Today’s lesson: asking for a simple price and giving a short reply.
This lesson continues our A1 speaking and writing practice with a very common everyday question.
Review from the last lessons:
- price = cost
- maybe = perhaps
- later = after now
New words:
1) price — reading: prais — meaning: cost
2) cheap — reading: chiip — meaning: low cost
3) expensive — reading: ik-SPEN-siv — meaning: high cost
4) maybe — reading: MEI-bi — meaning: perhaps
5) later — reading: LEI-ter — meaning: after now
Useful usage notes:
- price is for asking about cost.
- cheap is for something with a low cost.
- expensive is for something with a high cost.
- maybe is a soft, polite reply.
- later is used for time after now.
Simple example sentences:
1) What is the price?
Reading: wot iz dhə prais
Meaning: Fiyat nedir?
2) Is this cheap?
Reading: iz dhis chiip
Meaning: Bu ucuz mu?
3) That is expensive.
Reading: dhat iz ik-SPEN-siv
Meaning: O pahalı.
4) Maybe later.
Reading: MEI-bi LEI-ter
Meaning: Belki sonra.
5) I can do it later.
Reading: ai kan doo it lei-ter
Meaning: Bunu sonra yapabilirim.
Mini speaking practice:
- Say the question aloud: What is the price?
- Say a short answer: It is expensive.
- Say a soft reply: Maybe later.
Mini writing practice:

2) Say that something is not cheap.
3) Give a soft answer when you do not want to decide now.
4) Write a short reply: you can do it after now.
5) Ask if a pen is low cost.
Answer key:
1) What is the price?
2) It is expensive.
3) Maybe later.
4) I can do it later.
5) Is this cheap?
Reply instruction:
- Post your answers in the thread.
- You can also write your own 1-line dialogue.

- Try to keep your writing simple and A1-friendly.
Reply format: Start your reply with your explanation language code, e.g. [TR], [EN], [AR], [RU], [ES], [DE], [FR], [IT].
