– One of my favourite hobbies is going shopping.
I’ve always loved it. I think I get it from my mum, who used to take me to the nearest town every weekend to visit shops and boutiques. She taught me about buying a few quality items that you may pay a premium for but that last a long time so are a good investment. She also taught me about how to check for the quality of a garment by looking at the way it’s sewn together and also creasing the fabric to see if it stays creased or not. If it stays creased then it’s a poor quality fabric.
Another thing I learnt from her is how to find a bargain. You need to shop around and not be afraid of trying the smaller boutiques where you’re more likely to find a shop owner who’s happy to offer a discount. I’ve been shopping on my own since I was a student. Then, I could not afford to buy many things but stuck to what my mum taught me and kept my eyes open for a quality bargain. The rest of the time, I would window shop.
Nowadays I can afford designer clothes but I still love the sales, when I hunt for a bargain and the odd top-designer item.
One thing I hate, however, is trying things on because there are always long queues and it means you have less time for shopping. It’s not a problem, not trying things on, because if something is not the right size I can take it back to the shop as long as I’ve
kept the receipt.
I go shopping every week. I find it therapeutic. It always makes you feel good to get your hands on a nice quality piece at a bargain price, and if I’m feeling a bit down there’s nothing like a bit of retail therapy. I find shopping exciting as well. You spend time in the poshest part of town where you can mix with fashionable people. There’s a buzz and it’s busy and noisy and colourful. Shopping lets you keep up to speed with the latest trends. So all in all, I think it has a lot of benefits and I love it.
– What’s the best bargain you’ve ever got?
– I once bought a designer coat, 100% cashmere, absolutely beautiful, for 25% of the full price. It was in a closing-down sale.

2.1. Describe a newspaper or magazine you enjoy reading.
I enjoy reading a magazine called Fab Football It is about sport, of course, and it’s my favourite sport. I love watching football from different countries and I love reading about it.
The magazine’s got lots of good information. I don’t like reading the letters or adverts. I prefer reading the interviews with famous players, or the news.
I read Fab Football every weekend. I buy it on Saturday morning and go home and read.
I enjoy meeting friends and reading the magazine together. I don’t mind sharing it. We like chatting about the news, the players. It’s very interesting.
2.2. Describe an activity you like doing.
The activity I like doing is watching DVDs. I love watching films. I watch DVDs every weekend and sometimes in the week. I prefer watching films at home to going to the cinem. I watch films at my brother’s flat too I like watching films with my family. We cook a meal and then we enjo eating and watching a funny film. It’s fun and I like spending time with my family.
2.3. Talk about a TV programme you enjoy watching.
I’d like to talk about a TV programme I enjoy watching called Chat Chat.
It’s a popular talk show and the guests are usually famous actors or singers. For example, two Oscar winners were on the show last week.
Firstly, my favourite parts are the presenter and the music. The presenter is very funny and very good at his job. A good example of this if when he interviews guests. He is very kind and petient, so he can ask difficult questions and get honest answers. There is always a music part at the end of the show. A singer or group sing a song.
I usually watch this show on Saturday afternoons when I’m at my cousin’s house. We love watching this show and we eat some snacks and just relax.
Finally, I enjoy watching this programme because it is funny, interesting and relaxing. I forget about my studies and my problems, and I enjoy learning about these famous people.
2.4. Talk about a programme you learned something from.
I’d like to talk about a programme I learned something from.
The programme was a very interesting documentary and it was about a famous writer. I enjoy watching this documentary series. It always has really interesting people or topics.
Firstly, I liked everything in the documentary, but my favourite parts were the interviews with her family and friends. A good example of this is the interview with her sister. She talked about their life when they were young children. She was very funny. There was one old friend from the writer’s school and they are still friends today. I liked learning about the writer’s personal life.
I watched it with my classmates. We watched it at college in a seminar. It was part of the course and then we gave a presentation about her life.
I learned lots of things from the documentary. For example, I learned she was from a poor family. I learned she had no qualifications from school and then she lived in different countries. Finally, I learned that she now lives in her hometown and she writes there.
