9 Shops and services • Clothes and appearance • Collocations I can use language related to shops and shopping experiences. VOCABULARY 9.1 Consumer society Money makes the world go round. A proverb MIA RYAN MINH 1 What do you think about shopping for clothes? I’m addicted to clothes and shopping. The bad news is that I’m poor! So I can’t afford to buy much, except during the sales. But I go window shopping – it’s still fun to look. I often go to charity shops and second- hand jeweller's. I really enjoy shopping. I love designer clothes. I mean, they’re really expensive but I think they’re worth it. Anyway, I want to look smart like my favourite celebrities. My mum buys all my clothes! I don’t care what I wear. I don’t think you should judge people by the brands they wear. I hate clothes that have logos all over them. 2 How often do you go clothes shopping? Oh dear, it’s bad – I go every weekend. I get bored with my clothes – I can’t help it. I don’t need to go shopping often because I buy good quality clothes made from nice natural materials like cotton and wool. They last for ages. As I said, I never go shopping. I don’t even know what suits me. If something fits me and it feels comfortable – like my favourite hoodie – then I’m happy. 1 Read three people’s answers to an online survey about shopping.
