Text c Presents and souvenirs in British shops. Read the text and answer the following questions:

1. What presents can one find in London’s shops?

2. Why do people buy souvenirs?

London is a wonderful place to shop for presents. As well as an impressive array of original ceramics, jewellery, perfume and glassware, there is exotic merchandise from around the world, including jewellery from India and Africa, stationary from Europe and kitchenware from France and Italy. The elegant, Regency-period Burlington Arcade is a popular shopping destination selling high-quality gifts, clothes, art and crafts, many of which are made in the UK.

The shops at big museums, such as the Victoria and Albert, the Natural History and the Science Museum often have unusual and original items to take home as mementos of your visit, while Contemporary Applied Arts, Thomas Neal’s shopping complex and the market in Covent Garden Piazza all sell a good range of British pottery, jewellery, knitwear and other crafts. If you want to buy all your presents under one roof, you can go to Liberty, where beautiful stock from all over the globe fills every department.

Jewellery shops in London range from the extremely traditional to the tiny shops. Butler and Wilson has some of the most eye-catching costume jewellery in town, while next door Electrum keeps less bold but equally innovative pieces.

Mulberry Company stocks classically English luggage, as well as accessories such as belts, purses and wallets, and Janet Fitch sells a wide range of bags, belts, jewellery, hats and other essential accessories.

Many British perfumeries use recipes that are hundreds of years old. Floris and Penhaligon’s, for example, still manufactures the same flower-based scents and toiletries for men and women that they sold in the 19th century. Other manufacturers have a more contemporary approach to their wares; for example, the Body Shop.

Dialogue 1 What you spend your money on.

Read an interview with Tanya and David. They are talking about what they spend their money on.

Interviewer: What do you spend your money on when you have it, Tanya?

Tanya : Oh, holidays. I don’t spend anything for month. I just save and save,

then, when I have enough, I go off for a week or two or longer- so-

mewhere I’ve never been before or just somewhere warm to relax.

And when I’m not on holiday I spend money on books.

Interviewer: Travel books?

Tanya: Yes, well, all kinds of books, really.

Interviewer: David, what about you?

David: Well, I’m a student, as you know, so I haven’t got much money,

unfortunately. What I have goes on music- CDs, mostly.

Interviewer: What kind of music?

David: Everything- classical, jazz, pop. I also like going to pop concerts,

but they cost a lot, so, you know ‘cos the tickets are so expensive.

I also love clothes so if there is a sale, I buy casual thins- jeans,

shirts, jackets-that sort of thing.

Interviewer: What kind of souvenirs do you bring back from your travels, Tanya?

Tanya: I usually buy something for the house or garden- you know, wooden

parrots, big plant pots for my garden, small rugs. But it can be very

difficult to bring souvenirs back. I once sat on a fifteen hour flight with an enormous plant pot on my knee- so big I couldn’t see over the top. Then at the airport I put it down for a second and somebody fell over it and broke it!

Interviewer: Oh no!

Tanya: I wasn’t very pleased! I also love jewellery, so- for example in

South America I bought lots of earrings and big necklaces.

Interviewer: And you, David?

David: Well, music of course and also whatever’s cheap- clothes in the States are cheap, for example. I collect T-shirts.

Interviewer: Really? How many have you got?

David: Oh, I’ve got about forty of them from all over the world. But you have to be careful- I remember one holiday I spent a long time deciding which T-shirt to buy and when I got back home they had exactly the same one in our local shop!
