Most Inglês-speaking countries use metric weights. The vocabulary list includes the common deli quantities.
Are plastic bags free in Inglês-speaking countries?
Increasingly not — many countries charge for plastic bags or have banned them. The scenario teaches how to ask 'Is the bag free?' and how to politely decline.
