6. Describe a place where you like going shopping.

You should say:
• what kind of place it is
• where it is
• what you like to do there
and explain why you like shopping there so much.
You asked me to describe a place where I like going shopping, so I'm going to
talk about a department store in my town. It's called Judies and it's a very old
store. In fact, it's about 100 years old, so it's very famous. I would say that it's a
landmark because everyone knows it. It's very large and spacious too, with
four floors and more than 30 different departments to visit. You can find
anything you want here, such as unusual presents for your friends, and you can
buy really good food too. For example, you can buy traditional cakes and
sweets that are famous in my area and they are delicious. It's an amazing shop
but it's not cheap. In fact, it's one of the most expensive shops in the area.
I think it's in a good location because it's right in the centre of the town, which
is very convenient. It's also very close to the railway station and a multi-storey
car park too, so that's good for you if you have lots of shopping bags to carry.
What do I like to do there? Well, I really like spending time in the jewellery
department and this is on the ground floor of the building. I love looking at the
different rings and necklaces. I enjoy tF-ying them on too! I like gold jewellery
the best but I can't afford it. Why do I like it so much? Well, I like the
atmosphere in the store because it's very traditional. All the sales assistants
are very friendly and helpful too. Yes, it's a really good store, so that's why I
spend a lot of time in it!
7. Work in pairs. You have one minute to prepare to speak about your
two questions.
Spend 30 seconds on each question. Use the question words in the box to
help you.
when? where? why? how much? what?
Student A
• What do you enjoy spending money on?
• Can you remember a present you bought somebody that they really liked?
Student B
• What is the most expensive thing that you have ever bought?
• Can you remember something you bought that was very useful?
Take it in turns to answer your questions. Spend one minute on each question.
If your partner stops before the minute is finished, try to help them by asking
questions.
8. Read the task card and then make notes for your talk. Time yourself for
60 seconds, then stop writing.
Describe a shop that you enjoy going to.
You should say:
• where it is
• what it sells
• how often you go there
and explain why you enjoy visiting this shop.
Talk about the topic with a partner. Try to talk for two minutes.
Then listen to your partner's talk. Make notes of any interesting
vocabulary or ideas.
Then, give your talk again to your partner.
