Before you start listening:

  • Read the introduction carefully. This will help you understand what the listening exercise is about.
  • Read the questions. This will help you find the information you are listening for.
While you are listening:
  • Focus. If you miss the first part of the listening exercise, it is very difficult to understand the second part of the listening exercise.
  • If you have heard the answer, fill it in and move on to the next question. Don’t wait too long!
  • If you are not sure about the answer, just pick the answer you think is best.
    If you doubt you risk missing the answer on the next question.

Have fun!

Reading

Introduction

Introduction
In this part you will practise your reading skills.
There are all kinds of texts: letters, articles, stories, advertisements and poems for example.

You are going to read examples of some of these texts. In this theme you will find readings on:

  • How people experience shopping;
  • Online shopping;
  • Money in the UK;
  • Shopping on a budget.
By reading a lot in English (and doing many exercises) you will improve your reading skills and your English!

We wish you pleasant reading!

Tips

Before you start reading:
Don't start reading straight away (= meteen).
First look at the title, the image(s) and highlighted words.
These can help you understand what the text is about.
Read the introduction and the questions first. They will give you a better idea of the text.
With multiple-choice questions, look at the options and try to see what the differences are.

While reading:
It will be very very difficult to understand everything you read.
If you see a word you do not know, it is very important to ask yourself if this word is important to understand the text. If you understand the text without knowing the word, there is no need to use a dictionary.
If the word is important to understand the text (and / or to answer questions) go ahead and use your dictionary!
Just make sure you don't use the dictionary all the time because it costs too much time.

Shopping (1)

Shopping, pain or pleasure?
Do you like shopping?
Write down what you think of shopping as an activity with three different adjectives (= bijv. naamwoorden).
Compare the adjectives you wrote down with the adjectives your classmates wrote down.

  • Which of the adjectives are positive?
  • Which ones negative?

Now read the following text.
It's about four people who describe what they think of shopping.
Then answer the questions.

Some women include shopping in their list of favourite activities.
Men traditionally hate it.
Here´s what some of our readers think.

Aisha, 32
I like shopping, but it depends who I go with. Trying to shop with young children is a nightmare! I don't like shopping with my husband either because he's always in a hurry, and worries about spending money. But shopping with friends is fun, and I like going on my own too.

Simon, 28
I don't really enjoy shopping. In fact it's a pain! I find it stressful because I'm always afraid of making mistakes. I've got a collection of awful 'mistakes' at the back of my wardrobe, which I never wear! But I don't mind going with my girlfriend, because she helps me choose. I think women are better at buying clothes than men. They've got better taste and they always know what's in fashion.

Ivan, 30
I'm not interested in shopping at all - in fact I hate it. My wife buys all my clothes and brings them home. I try them on and if I like them, I keep them. If not she takes them back. Choosing things from catalogues and the TV shopping channels is the only kind of shopping I enjoy.

Rosa, 24
I love shopping, but not on a Saturday or during the sales, when the shops are really crowded. I prefer shopping alone. Buying things often takes me a long time because I never buy the first thing I see. I always look around other shops to see if I can find the same thing cheaper. I'm quite good at finding a bargain. I hate shopping in large supermarkets, and prefer buying food in small shops or street markets.

  3. Alone
  4. A cupboard where you keep clothes
  5. A book with pictures of products for sale
  6. A period when prices in shops are lower
  7. Something at a very good price
Some women include shopping in their list of favourite activities.
Men traditionally hate it.

Speaking

Introduction

In 'speaking' you will be working on your speaking skills.

  • First of all you are going to have a look at some useful expressions.
  • Then you're going to practise a conversation with the help of speech cards and evaluate another conversation.
  • Finally, you are going to practise your speaking in some real-life situations.
In these exercises you're going to speak about shopping, shops, and products you can buy in shops. With every exercise you do, your speaking skills will improve!

Speak up!

Tips (1)

Before you start speaking:

  • First look at the instructions.
  • Try to think of words and expressions you might need.
  • Use as many expressions as possible; you can use them if you're lost for words.
  • DON'T write out your conversation or talk completely! If you do that, it will just be a writing and reading exercise!

For more tips see p. 2.

Tips (2)

While speaking:

  • Make sure you start a conversation by greeting the other person in a polite way.
  • Look at your partner or at your audience.
  • Speak calmly and not too quietly.
  • You can use a note, but make sure there are only a few words on it!
  • If you don't know a word, you can always explain what you can use it for, or what it looks like.
  • Try to keep on talking, even if you don't really know how you should say something.
  • If you don't understand your partner, you can ask for an explanation, or ask your partner to repeat the question.
  • End a conversation by saying goodbye.

Clue: if you practise a conversation a second time, it will be much easier!
