tissues [´ti∫u:z] – бумажные салфетки
co-op [kəu´op] – магазин
tremendous [trə´mendəs] – потрясающий, великолепный
miss smth. – не заметно что-либо
mind (doing smth.) – быть против, не хотеть что-либо сделать
run through – просмотреть
close – близко
I’ll be off – сейчас ухожу!
II. Listening and comprehension task
Listen to the recording and answer the questions choosing the right alternative.
Are both Fiona and Judy going to do the shopping or is only one of them going to do that?
Does Fiona want to know what kinds of shops there are in the neighborhood or does she want to know where the shops she needs are located?
Does Judy only need some food or some manufactured goods as well?
Listen to the recording again and note down the following details:
The items on Judy’s shopping list. (there are 7 items in all)
The names of the shops mentioned. (there are 6 shops in all)
The location of the shops mentioned.
III. Follow up activities
Do you always make a shopping list or do you remember what you’re going to buy and what shops you’ll go to?
Do you prefer to make purchases in a large store or in small specialized shops?
Are there many kinds of shops in the area you live in? Do you have to go a long way when shopping?
SPEAKING
Exercise 1. Compare the ways of shopping, using the words given in brackets. Add explanations where possible.
Using local shops is more convenient than going to the centre.
Large shops are cheaper than small local shops. This is because they sell more things, so they can reduce prices.
Supermarkets / small grocers (cheap)
Expensive clothes / cheap clothes (good quality)
Department stores / small shops (interesting)
Staff in small shops / staff in supermarkets (happy)
Street markets / ordinary shops (economical)
Local ‘corner’ shops / other shops (expensive)
Buying by post / going to shops (difficult)
Products in advertisements / the real thing (good)
Exercise 2. Where do you prefer doing the shopping – at a supermarket, a local grocery or a market? Work with a partner to fill in the table: advantages / disadvantages of going shopping to the supermarket, local grocery, market.

Exercise 3. Do you prefer shopping at your local small store or at a big supermarket? Do your best to convince your partner (mother, granny etc.) that shopping at a local small store has advantages over shopping at a big supermarket or vice versa.
