Suggested task:
Divide the whole class into two groups: A and B. Students A will read the first article (See annex
2 at the end of this document) for advantages of online shopping and students B will read the
second article on disadvantages of online shopping. As they read their articles, they need to
take notes and prepare to defend that position (for or against of this type of shopping). Then,
they will get in groups of 4: 2 students A and 2 students B and start a debate to finally come to a
conclusion: Is online shopping definitely better than going to a store in person? Is going to a
store better than online shopping? Does it depend? On what? Ask students to feel free to add
ideas different from the ones in the article, to expand and exemplify their points and to use
expressions for debates like the ones we have in the conversation gambits. For instance:
ARGUMENTS AND COUNTER-ARGUMENTS
Reservation
a. Yes, but ...
b. Yes, but don’t forget
c.That would be grat, except...
d. That’s a good idea

Suggested Task: Shopping Role Play
For this task you will need as many flashcards for different clothing items and accessories as
you can. Make sure to choose and reserve this material in advance.
After practicing with the conversation model on page 105, ask students to work in pairs. Each
group will create a different clothing store. They need to think of a store name and choose the
clothes they are going to sell –i.e. flashcards. Also, they need to prepare a short description of
each item including prices. Give them a model and encourage them to use superlatives - E.g.
This sweater is made of the warmest material: Wool. It costs $50.oo / This blouse is made of
the finest silk in the world. It’s $500.oo These are the most beautiful shoes we have in the store.
You can take them for only $40.oo
As soon as they are ready, ask half of the groups to visit the other ones as shoppers. Sellers will
have to convince shoppers to buy their products. After some minutes, change roles. At the end,
the class will choose the group that sold the most items. You can use fake money for this
purpose.

9. There are many people who have yet to shop online. They prefer to go to their 'brick and mortar' store to
shop. Everything you buy at the store is available online. It does not matter if you are looking for clothes,
groceries, furniture, shoes, or anything else you will find it on the web. Here are some of the benefits to
shopping online versus going to the store.
• The Internet is open 24/7/365.
• Saves money by not needing to use gas to find what you are looking for.
• You will not make a trip to the Mall just to find out what you want is out of stock.
• Avoid the crowded malls.
• Compare prices from many retailers easily by using services such as Google Product Search.
• There will not be a long wait in the checkout lanes.
• The receipt for your purchase is automatically emailed to you which provides convenience and saves
paper.
• Specify a different ship-to address and your purchase will be delivered to that destination without you
mailing it.
• Internet shoppers save time: According to the American ShopperScape 2008 report:
"More shoppers use online shopping to save time than to save money. Shoppers are gradually shifting
some shopping away from stores to Web sites, which may affect shopping patterns even more
dramatically in the future given rising gasoline prices and time scarcity."
• Online shopping is a alternative way to shop: When you cannot get to the store or just do not want to get
caught up in the mall experience, Web shopping is a great alternative.
Times to look at online stores include:
• Finding exclusive items. You want to buy an item that is rare. Since few stores carry such the item you
are looking for finding it on the Internet makes sense.
• Comparison shopping. When you are preparing to purchase something that is very expensive the
Internet provides a great way to efficiently comparison shop.
• Find options for what you want to buy. You are curious and want to know what options there are for the
product you want to buy. Going to several stores takes time and gas money. On the Internet you can
literally go from your front door to the other side of the world with just a click of your mouse. Sit back
and take your time. You will find the option that works for you.
• Privacy for your purchase. You want to make a purchase without anyone seeing you or knowing about
it. Think about how nice it would be to buy a gift for Birthdays or Christmas, have it delivered to your
work, and no one will ever suspect a thing.
• Cannot leave your house. There is a reason you cannot leave your house. When you are feeling ill,
taking care of someone who is sick, inclement weather, or lack of transportation or time.
Shopping online provides a convenient alternative for purchasing your items. Going to shop at
a store is what we grew up doing. Yet, today, the Internet has provided a second purchasing
option.
Disadvantages of online shopping
Article Source: http://www.saching.com/Article/Disadvantages-of-Online-Shopping/3488 , February 28th, 2011
The craze of online shopping has picked up quite significantly in the last decade and online sellers are
expected to improve their share of purchases for years to come. There is no doubt that you can find great
deals on line and so many different brands which may not be even available in regular stores, even shopping
malls. If you have never shopped online or even if you are a regular online shopper, you should understand
that despite of all the hype, there are certain disadvantages of online shopping.
10. 1. YOU DO NOT PHYSICALLY SEE THE ITEMS:
Normally when we shop from a regular store, we can see the item and at least visually inspect that it looks fine.
You can select a colour, size and can even speak to a sales person to clarify doubts regarding an item. I feel
the biggest disadvantage of online shopping is we do not physically see the item till it arrives. May be you have
seen it in the nearby mall but there is a possibility that the particular piece you have ordered may be defective.
Misinterpretation or misunderstanding of items bought online is a common problem. Usually the photo of items
you see online are much better than once you have the item in front of you.
2. WAIT FOR THE ITEMS TO ARRIVE:
Once you place you order the waiting game starts. You have to wait for a few days for the item to arrive which
can be quite frustrating. Most experts believe that we are most excited about your “buy” in the first few days, so
by the time your item arrives you will most likely be less excited about your “buy” in the first few days, so by the
time your item arrives you will most likely be less excited then getting the item on same day you made the
payment.
3. SHIPPING CHARGES:
Only a few sites offer free shipping, some others will ship for free only if your total purchase price exceeds a
certain amount. Shipping fee is often a big discouragement for online shoppers.
4. RETURNING MERCHANDISE:
Even if the seller agrees to take back the defective merchandise, you often have to pay the cost of shipping it
back. Additionally you have to call and convince the people regarding the reason of your return. Some good
sites do have excellent return policy, but not everyone.
5. ONLINE SECURITY:
Making payments online is usually safe but not always. There way be sites which are not secure or do not
encrypt your personal credit card data, so if a hacker breaks in their system, you personal data can be
compromised.
6. RISK OF ONLINE FRAUD:
Some people pretend selling items at a very cheap price and often send you a low quality, opened or
refurbished item, in other cases the site may shut down unexpectedly, leaving lot of customers who might have
already paid for the item but did not receive anything. Shopping online can also take you to phishing site which
want to defraud you.
7. YOU CANNOT BUY LOW PRICED OR PERISHABLE ITEMS ON THE WEB:
Small items like pencil, eraser, socks, water bottles etc… are low priced items and shipping them will likely
double the cost. You will always have to depend on regular stores for them. Similarly items like milk, fruits and
vegetables are perishable items and cannot be ordered online.
Most good internet sites have taken adequate measures to overcome most of these disadvantages.
An intelligent online shopper knows a lot more than a novice. Both regular stores and online
shopping have advantages and disadvantages of their own.

Financial Advice Office
Ask students to describe a financial problem they have. We strongly recommend creating a
bank of possible situations students may have. For instance they can say that their weekly
allowance is gone way too soon or that usually, by the time Christmas arrives, they don’t have
enough money to buy their family presents. Also, come up with ideas for possible solutions for
typical financial problems: saving from weekly allowance, getting a part-time job, asking sb to
lend them money, selling candy or other goods at school, etc. Present these ideas to students
and complement them with your students’ contributions. Next, divide the group into two: half of
them are going to be people looking for financial advice and the rest will be financial advisors.
People with problems will rotate in an organized way so that they get advice from different
experts and take notes. Train them on how to use the target grammar to share advice-e.g. If you
stop buying so much candy every day, you will save enough money by the end of the year to
buy presents. Then, they can change roles. The idea would be to select the most common
problem and the best solution.

Suggested task:
Planning your trip to California
Do the communication activity on page 139. To make this activity more challenging and
meaningful, you can ask your students to do some previous research about what tourists can do
in these three cities: Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. They should look for
information about places of interest to visit, activities to do, typical food, etc. They can add it to
their descriptions. The idea would be to choose the most interesting but cheapest plan.

Suggested Task:
Students can work in groups of three. Assign each group a different habitat. They are expected
to come up with a campaign to promote awareness among classmates about the importance of
taking care of the place, the animals and the vegetation (if any) in that habitat. Encourage and
exemplify the use of the target grammar – e.g. If we all save energy at home, global warming
will gradually decrease and the glaciers will stop melting at such irregular speed.
