  • Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.

  • I'm Neil and joining me today is Dan,

  • who's weighed down with shopping bags and wearing something very, well, strange.

  • What's going on, Dan?

  • Well, I was feeling a bit miserable,

  • so I decided to cheer myself up by going shopping.

  • Well, that's lucky because the link between shopping and mood is what we're looking at in this 6 Minute English.

  • And of course, we'll be giving you 6 mood and shopping-related vocabulary items.

  • But first, our quiz.

  • Online shoppers in which country spend more per household than consumers in any other country,

  • according to a report by the UK Cards Association.

  • Is it A, the USA,

  • B, Norway, or C, the UK?

  • Hmm.

  • Norway seems to come top of lots of our lists.

  • So for that reason alone, I'm going to say Norway.

  • Well, OK, we'll find out at the end of the show.
