Going Shopping
Amy is at a clothing store shopping for a new pair of pants. Lisa, a saleswoman, asks her if she needs any help.
Lisa: May I help you?
Amy: I’m just browsing.
Lisa: Let me know if I can help. My name is Lisa.*
Amy: Do these pants come in black?
Lisa: Yes, but we’re sold out. They’re so popular, we can’t keep them in stock.
Amy: Do you have any black pants on sale?
Lisa: Yes, these are marked down from $69.95 to $24.95.
Amy: That’s a good buy, but I’m not crazy about the fabric.
Lisa: What about these pants? These are on sale for $49.
Amy: That’s a little pricey, but I’ll try them on.
(Amy enters the fitting room with the pants. A few minutes later, Lisa comes to check on her).
Lisa: How are the pants?
Amy: A little snug.**
Lisa: That style does run small. Let me bring you the next size up.
(Lisa hands Amy the pants and Amy puts them on).
Amy: These pants are a little big, aren’t they?
Lisa: No, they fit nicely!
Amy: They’re baggy in the back, don’t you think?
Lisa: No, they’re perfect. Take my word for it.
Amy: I’m just not sure. I think I’d better hold off for now.
* Sales clerks often introduce themselves by giving their first name. They usually work on commission, so they get a percentage of the sale. When you check out, the cashier may ask, «Was anybody helping you today?» You tell the cashier the name of the sales clerk and he or she gets credit for the sale.
snug** — close-fitting; tight
Language Lens: Tag Questions
Tag questions are short fragments at the end of a sentence. They tum a statement into a question. They are common in spoken English.
Note these uses and examples. The tag is underlined:
=> To check if something is true: You’re going to the party tonight, aren’t you?
=> To ask for agreement: We should bring a bottle of wine to the party, shouldn’t we?
=> To emphasize something: Sara’s certainly self-confident, isn’t she?
=> To make a request more friendly: Open the door, could you?
If the verb in the main part of the sentence is positive ( + ), the verb in the tag is negative (-).
| Main verb ( +) | Tag verb(-) | Example |
| are (‘re) | aren’t | You’re in good shape, aren’t you? |
| should | shouldn’t | We should go, shouldn’t we? |
| can | can’t | She can swim, can’t she? |
| do | don’t | You do love me, don’t you? |
| ‘ll be (will be) | won’t | They’ll be here later, won’t they? |
If the verb in the main part of the sentence is negative (-), the verb in the main part of the tag is positive ( + ).
| Main verb (-) | Tag verb(+) | Example |
| ‘re not (are not) | are | You’re not coming, are you? |
| shouldn’t | should | We shouldn’t give up, should we? |
| can’t (cannot) | can | We can’t leave now, can we? |
| don’t (do not) | do | We don’t play with our food, do we? |
| won’t | will | You won’t cry when I go, will you? |

41 Is that 999, Emergency Services? — C No, sorry. You’ve got the wrong number.
Reading
.G. Read the text and fill in the gaps (42-46) with the phrases (A-F). There is one phrase you do not need to use.
It is a sad reality that children all around the world are putting on more and more weight, 42) C. and many health experts say junk food is responsible. Unhealthy meals and snacks are freely available in many primary and secondary schools, which raises the serious question of whether schools should ban junk food in order to help children keep their weight down.
There are some good reasons for banning junk food in schools. For instance, eating junk food has been shown to cause nervousness and bad behaviour in children. Children would behave and perform better in the classroom 43) A. if junk food wasn’t available in schools. In addition, given a choice between junk food and healthy food, a child will always choose junk food. As eating too much junk food can cause serious diseases, it is inappropriate that schools offer children junk food, 44) E. as it is their job to protect and care for children.
There are also, however, very good reasons for not banning junk food in schools. For example, telling a young child that they are not allowed to have a particular type of food simply makes that food more appealing to the child. So, a ban could in fact increase the appeal of junk food. What is more, as children will still be able to get junk food outside of school, banning it in schools will do little good, 45) F. as this action will not change children’s general eating habits.
All in all, the strong arguments on both sides of the debate make it clear that it is difficult to decide if banning junk food in schools is a good idea. It seems unlikely, however, that ‘hiding’ foods from children will do much good. What seems more likely to work is educating children about healthy eating habits. Parents have the greatest influence over a child’s eating habits, thus it is perhaps in the home 46) D. and not in schools, where food education must take place.
Listening
.H. Listen to two friends talking and mark statements 47-50 True, False or Not stated.
47 Ian’s parents want him to get his dog from an animal shelter.
A True В False C Not stated
48 Claire is afraid even when she sees a drawing of a dog.
A True В False C Not stated
49 Ian thinks it’s a mistake for Claire to stay away from dogs.
A True В False C Not stated
50 John’s fear of dogs is even worse than Claire’s.
