The intro

(Listening Comprehension)

Hey ! It's Mr.Wong here. Today's topic is gonna be about the word "shortchange". Now "shortchange" is something that might happen when you purchase something from a store, they do not give you back enough money when you pay them more than the price of something. Let's say you were buying a book for 5 dollars, and you gave the cashier a 20(dollar bill) then she gave you only 1 dollar change back. This means you were shortchanged. This word also means, "to treat someone unfairly or dishonestly, often because they are given less of something than they deserve". Check it out !
