Q: M: Yes, I'd like to read some articles that are on reserve about British culture. W: Professor Grand's class? M: That's right. How could you know? W: Let's just say you are not the first person coming in asking for those articles. M: Oh, well, seeing as how I haven't read any of them yet, it doesn't really matterwhich one you give me first.

If you are the type of person that wants to read every label and look at every piece of fruit, it's probably not for you. But if you wanna give up a little control, you M: And what's the good strategy if you decide to shop online? W: What I would suggest is do the staples online. M: What do they include?
