Step 1 - Listening

Buying running shoes

You are going to listen to a conversation between a customer and a shop assistant in a shoe shop.

  • Listen to the conversation.
  • While listening, think about the following questions:
    • What problem is the customer trying to solve?
    • Is buying shoes the best solution to his problem? Make sure you can explain your answer.

 

Do the exercise.

Step 2 - Reading

A shopping convert

You are going to read a blog about the pros of shopping in real stores.

  • Make a group of three or four.
  • In your group, discuss the following questions in English:
    • What currency (munteenheid) is used in Great-Britain?
    • What symbol (teken) do the British use for their currency?
    • What does 'p' in, for example, '20p' stand for?
    • When something costs 10 euros in the Netherlands, how much is it in the British currency at the moment?
    • You may use the internet to look for answers.
  • Read the text.

A shopping convert

Are you one of those people that buys everything online? I am. Well, I was. Especially when it came to shoes and clothing. I would order shoes – sneakers, flip-flops, sandals, whatever – in three different sizes. After all, you never know, do you? Do the shoes fit? Do they look good on you? What size will you need, exactly? But the result was, I was always left with at least two pairs to return, and more often than not I was left with no shoes at all that I really liked. Which made it a lot of trouble to send it all back, fill in the forms, go to my local supermarket to drop off my return purchases... Once I even left it so long that I forgot to send them back at all! That was an expensive mistake. £80 down the drain. Ouch.

Also, I was starting to feel a bit guilty about all the white vans that stopped in front of my house. Plus the ones I didn’t even see, the ones that took my rejects back to the seller’s. Not very environmentally friendly, is it?

So I decided to make a change. I took the bus to the nearest city centre instead (which was cheaper than I thought) and actually went to physical shoe stores. And you know what? It was great fun! I’d arranged to meet a few friends there and we spent the afternoon shoe shopping, having a drink and most of all, having fun.

I didn’t actually find shoes in my size, but the store offered to order the boots I wanted for me and send them to my house. I didn’t even have to pay the £3.50 delivery charge! That seemed like a good compromise to me, because it would take only one van bringing me one pair of shoes, and I was reasonably sure that they would fit. The £3.50 I’d saved I used for my bus fare, which came to £3.30 both ways, so I even had 20p left! OK, my friends and I bought cans of soda, so I actually spent about 80p more than I would have if I’d ordered online, but who’s counting? It was worth it, because I discovered how much fun it can be to just get together with friends and do some shopping together. I’m never going back to online shopping! Well... except maybe in the winter.

Step 3 - Vocabulary

Study the words and phrases well.
If you want, you can also study the vocabulary on Wozzol:

  • Study the vocabulary. (10 minutes)
  • Do the exercise.

Tip!

There are different ways to study vocabulary. Click the red arrow in Wozzol to select another way.
You can read the words aloud or copy them.
The most important rule is not to study for too long in one go, because you won't learn any more. You will learn more in two 10-minute sessions than in half an hour.

Step 4 - Grammar

In het Nederlands kun je dingen zeggen als: 'Wil je water?' 'Ik heb appels voor je.' Of bijvoorbeeld: 'Ik heb geen tijd vandaag.'

In al die gevallen gebruik je in het Engels some of any.

  1. I have some apples for you.
  2. I don't have any time today.
  3. Do you need any help?
  4. Would you like some water?

Bestudeer uit de kennisbank Engels pagina 1 over some en any. Kun je nu, aan de hand van zin 1-4 hierboven, in je eigen woorden uitleggen wanneer je some gebruikt en wanneer any?

Some of any

Do the exercises.

Step 5 - Speaking

Let's buy some shoes

Have two conversation with a classmate. Use the table below.

  5. Discuss what went well and what you can do better next time.

    Die heb je wel. Laat een paar opties (2-3) zien (beschrijf ze).
    3 Kies een paar. Zeg dat ze niet passen. Vraag naar je eigen maat. 3 Die heb je niet. Bied aan ze te bestellen en aan huis af te leveren.
    4 Vraag of je dan verzendkosten moet betalen. 4 Vertel wat de verzendkosten zijn. Vertel ook dat de klant ze niet hoeft te betalen als die ze in de winkel komt ophalen.
