Shops and Shopping

Week 8^th -10^th April

This week we talked about our favourite time of the day, season, month…

Cristina’s favourite season is spring because she loves gardening.  What about you? Do you have green fingers? ( Are you good at gardening?)Luis’s favourite season is autumn, when school begins and holidays are over, because everything comes to normal!

Cristina’s favourite time of the day is the evening. From 10 p.m. on, because is when she goes home and starts to relax. Luis agrees (he thinks the same). The evening, when his son goes to bed, is his favourite time of the day!

And then, we changed of subject and started to talk about shopping!

·         Do you like shopping?

·         What do you like buying? CDs, DVDs, clothes, books, presents?

·         Do you prefer shopping alone or with your family? With friends?

·         When do you like going shopping?  To shopping centres, small shops, supermarkets?

Remember:

Love, like, enjoy, prefer, hate + ing

·         I don’t like buying clothes.

·         I hate going shopping on Saturdays.

·         He doesn’t like trying on clothes.

·         She hates going shopping with her boyfriend.

·         He loves buying presents.

Men and women are different. Men like clothes shops, electronics shops and music shops. Women love clothes shops, clothes shops and clothes shops!

Men spend one hour shopping, women a day! Women love trying on clothes and talking to the shop assistants; men love going home and playing with their new “toys”.

Enjoy your Easter and we continue talking about shopping and clothes next week. Bye!
