engage in social interactions. Both modes of shopping have their merits, and consumers often
choose based on their preferences, needs, and the type of product they are seeking.
Exercise 2. Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
Shopping is a necessary part of life which very few people can avoid. It is a daily routine for some
people. Some people shop for pleasure while other people go shopping just to buy the necessary
items in order to survive. The weekend is usually a good time to go shopping because people have
free time from work. At this time the shops are usually very busy because people try to get the best
items for the lowest price before the item runs out of stock. Some people go shopping more
5
regularly than other people to browse products in shops even when they do not have much money.
This is known as window shopping and allows people to plan ahead and save for the things they
want to buy in the future or wait for the items to drop in price.
Some people spend a lot of time looking for bargains while others do not think of the price and are
happy to spend a lot. Some people believe that the more expensive the item, the better the quality,
but this is not always true. It is sensible to buy items which are affordable, but some people use a
credit card or borrow money from the bank so that they can buy the items they really want rather
than wait for it.
Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift to buy other people for a special
occasion. It is common to buy a gift voucher so that a friend or loved one can go shopping
themselves at their own convenience. Shopping online is often popular with people who have a busy
lifestyle. People are able to order their necessary and luxury items from the comfort of their own
home, or even on the move. Delivery is usually free and items are often cheaper than in shops on the
high street. The only real problem is that the item description and quality may be different than what
they hoped for. This could mean the customer may become disappointed with the item they receive
and will need to return it at their own cost. People who go to shops to do their shopping often use
self- service payment machines. This usually saves time as the shopper does not need to join a long
queue. However, it can be frustrating when the machine has a problem and the sales assistant is not
always available to help.

A. People have free time from work.

2. What is the term used for browsing products in shops without necessarily buying anything?

3. Why do some people use a credit card or borrow money from the bank for shopping?
A. To avoid going shopping.

4. What is a common solution when choosing a gift for someone?
