Unit 10

Mrs Lee and her sister, Mrs Howard, are buying a suit.

Shop Assistant: Good afternoon. Can I help you?

Mrs Lee: Good afternoon. Yes, I think you can. We are looking for a suit.

Shop Assistant: Two-piece or three-piece?

Mrs Lee: I think that two-piece suit for Peter

would be better than three-piece one.

Mrs Howard: Absolutely, since what he hates most is

a waist-coat that makes his movements stiff.

Mrs Lee: Especially if you are delivering a speech.

OK then, two-piece suit, please.

Shop Assistant: What colour and size?

Mrs Howard: What colour? Grey or dark blue?

Mrs Lee: I think dark grey will suit him best.

Mrs Howard: OK then. Dark grey. Size 56 or 58?

Mrs Lee: 58 if I remember correctly.

Shop Assistant: Let me show you what kinds

of size 58 dark grey suits we’ve got.

Mrs Howard: We’ll need a shirt and tie to go with

the suit as well.

Shop Assistant: Right. First, we’ll look at the suits and then we’ll

have a look at shirts and ties.

Mrs Howard: Good. Let’s go then and afterwards we’ll have a nice cup of tea

in the tea-shop down the road.

Mrs Lee: Sounds perfect.

Excessive buying

Are you a shopaholic? What a question? Everybody likes going shopping nowadays, especially when stressed.

You’ve had a bad day, fallen out with your boss, colleague, friend or spouse. The latest fashion item,

a piece of jewellery, a new CD record or two, or even a fancy pair of socks will improve your mood.

But what happens if you are in a constant state of anxiety that can be cured only through regular trips to

shopping malls. Well, you’d better have a well-paid job!

Here are a few questions that will help you decide whether

you are a shopaholic:

Do you often drop into a shop on your way home?

Do you spend a great deal of time shopping?

Do you often buy things advertised on television?

Does the brand name of a product matter to you?

Do you often buy products as a result of promotions?

If you have answered “yes” to most of the questions,

be careful or you’ll find yourself trapped in the activity

of compulsive buying.

You have to decide whether you are just a supermarket type,

usually practical but with the occasional urge to buy

‘a special offer’ or something you really don’t need.

It might also turn out that you are a convinced

shopaholic, unable to walk by a shop without purchasing

something from it. Stop to think then. Shopaholics, as any

other addicts, lack self-confidence and seek love and

acceptance, and the only way they think they can get it is

through buying new things.
