SHOP TILL YOU DROP:
Just looking, thanks As the three teenage boys enter the store, one of the shop assistants nudges the security guard lightly in the back and whispers: “Hey, Joe! Keep an eye on those and you’ll see what I mean.” “Sure, will do,” replies Joe and moves closer to the boys without being too obvious. Another shop assistant approaches the potential customers with a smile on his face. “Can I help you, boys?” he asks. “Nah, thanks, we’re just looking at the moment. Thanks anyway,” says one of the boys and starts browsing through a rack of jeans. “They’ve got some great jeans in here,” he mumbles and then turns his attention to a snazzy display of trainers as the shop assistant withdraws. “These are just so cool. I love the colour of the laces and the way the sole goes up around the back,” says Charlie, the youngest of the boys. “Try them on, man – no harm in seeing how they fit,” says his friend Moses. Charlie pulls off his dirty old sneakers and squeezes into the brand new trainers. He takes a few running jumps around his friends. “They’re amazing! I really, really want these.” “Shame they’re totally out of your price range,” says the third boy, Sam. “You’ll have to work at your burger joint every school night for a month to be able to afford those.” “Don’t be so stupid! I wouldn’t buy them here, would I?”

“Where then?” asked Moses. “China?” “China, the US, anywhere... you just have to know the right sites,” explained Charlie and put the trainers back on the shelf. “It’s a bit of a pain if you have to send stuff back, but it’s still worth it. And it’s great to be able to try stuff out in a physical store first. Like now.” “But if everyone thought that way, the physical stores would all go bust in the end and then you would have to buy everything online. Without being able to try it on.”

“You’re right, Mo,” sighs Charlie. “As usual”. “It’s not very environmentally friendly either,” Sam adds. “All that sending stuff back and forth across the globe.” “Oh, don’t be such a saint, Sam! You love buying new things just as much as I do.” Sam laughs and gives Charlie a friendly push. “Of course I do, mate. Only kidding. Come on, let’s go check out the new gaming store on Church Street.” “And if you do find something there, surely you will buy it there in order to support local business and save the environment, right, Sam?

Second-hand shopping has become very popular in recent years. That said, the use of second-hand items such as clothes is not a new phenomenon. Servants were selling their employers’ unwanted attire to poor people hundreds of years ago. There has, however, until more recently always been a social stigma associated with buying and using second-hand items in general, and clothing in particular. Those involved in the second-hand market, with the exception of the antiques trade, were often seen as poor or belonging to a low social class. There were a couple of periods when this was not the case. During World War Two, when most people struggled to make ends meet, governments encouraged citizens to “make do and mend”. Youth subcultures also made second-hand clothing acceptable and even desirable. Beatniks, hippies and punks wore second-hand clothing to make a statement against elitist fashion and consumer society.

“Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old second-hand diamonds than none at all.” Mark Twain (1835 –1910), poet
Pros of buying second-hand Wearing and using second-hand items has now become respectable thanks to a number of factors. Increased concern about the environment and the need for sustainable consumption means the thought of recycling and reusing items is now attractive. Since second-hand goods tend to be considerably cheaper than new ones, shopping this way means money can be spent on other things or saved in difficult economic times. Vintage styles, from the Victorian era to 1980s disco, are distinctive and present a strong image to the world.

Treasure hunting online... You can visit the biggest second-hand shop in the world without leaving your home. eBay, the online auction site, has hundreds of millions of active registered users worldwide. A major part of the transactions carried out on eBay consists of second-hand items sold by private individuals. These types of transactions are known as consumer-to-consumer electronic commerce. It is the modern-day equivalence of using the classifieds section of your local newspaper or going to an auction, one difference being that you run a higher risk of getting cheated at online auctions.

Despite the success of eBay and similar online shopping outlets, physical shops continue to do good business on the high street. Many customers prefer to see what they are buying in person. They want to try on the clothes or examine more closely the coffee table that would fit nicely by the sofa in the living room. The enthusiastic shopper can choose to hunt around antique shops, charity shops, jumble sales, car boot sales or second-hand markets.

The commercial should be between 15 and 30 seconds long and it should be filmed using a video camera or mobile phone. Finish off by watching all the commercials on a big screen in class (connect to classroom media or upload it to YouTube).
Tips: How to make a commercial Some general tips about advertising
• •
First of all, identify your customer/target group and how to appeal to them.
•
Use language and/or images to get attention. Questions like “Want to know how to become a millionaire?” or statements such as “The best way to stop smoking” will get people interested in your message.
•
Hold the interest of potential customers and stimulate them to buy your product by appealing to their emotional or practical side. Show briefly and clearly how your product will benefit them by saving them money, making them feel better about themselves, giving them a positive experience etc.
•
Use images that reflect your brand values: e.g. a picture of a healthy-looking, happy person might be used in an advert for a book about how to stop smoking.
Treat your target group with respect! People are often wary of advertising, so DO NOT patronize, use clichés, make false claims or be too aggressive.
Making video commercials Using people in your commercial is a safe bet – we all find it easier to relate to people than to products. In order to grab the viewer’s attention, make sure to keep the lines short and effective. Also, choose a setting and props that relate to what the commercial is trying to sell. For example, a commercial for sun cream should probably not be set in a rainy parking lot. Last but not least, finish off with a strong punchline that leaves the viewer with a positive feeling.

Tips: How to write a discussion essay A discussion essay is a balanced, objective examination of a certain question. The writer must remain neutral at all times, whatever their own personal feelings on the subject! Know your subject: Research the subject before writing and before you decide on a title. Write an outline: Go through your research and plan how the essay is going to look. Make an outline of the points you want to make and in what order they will come. Writing the essay: 1. Introduction: Grab the reader’s attention with the first sentence. Explain what the essay is about and which questions you intend to explore. 2. Main body: Present your findings and refer to the sources you have used, e.g. literature, surveys or interviews. Divide your text under logical headlines and structure the text into paragraphs, starting a new paragraph for each new point. 3. Conclusion: Keep it short. Restate your intention from the introduction. Summarize the main answer your essay has found. Give your own opinion and try to end with something thought-provoking.
Creating fluency
• • •
Variety: Start and finish your sentences in different ways. Try to create variety by mixing sentence structure and length, vocabulary and active/passive forms. Expressive language: An expressive text – with a good rhythm, an appealing choice of words and a variety of sentences – is usually more interesting to read. Find out if your text is expressive by reading it aloud to yourself. Linking devices: A linking device is a word or a phrase that links clauses or sentences into longer segments, giving your text added fluency. Linking devices can have different functions, such as explaining a sequence or making a comparison. Some common linking devices and functions include: ◉ Sequence: first, next, also, finally, in conclusion, to summarize ◉ Addition: and, in addition, also, furthermore, as well as ◉ Contrast: but, yet, however, still, although, in contrast, nonetheless, whereas ◉ Result: so, thus, therefore, as a result, hence, consequently ◉ Reason: for, as, since, because, due to, owing to, thanks to ◉ Comparison: also, similarly, likewise, just as, compared to ◉ Emphasis: obviously, indeed, undoubtedly, certainly, in fact ◉ Example: for example, for instance, such as, namely, including
