Speaker 1
Until I was about sixteen, my mum always insisted on coming with me when I went shopping for clothes. One time, I wanted to go to this party and I asked my mother if I could have a new pair of jeans. It took me ages to persuade her to let me go shopping on my own. I knew exactly what I wanted and exactly which shop sold them. It took me about twenty minutes to get to the shop, buy the jeans and get home again. I didn’t want to wear them brand new so I figured I would throw them in the wash. Of course, I knew nothing about washing instructions, so I didn’t even look at them. So I guess it shouldn’t have come as such a huge shock to me when I took them out of the washing machine and they had shrunk about three sizes!
Speaker 2
I must admit that I have a weakness for china vases - big, small, round, square, I love them all. Last summer, my friend Kim and I decided to go to a local car boot sale. We were wandering around when suddenly I spotted a whole display of second-hand porcelain. Kim knew what I was like and tried to persuade me to keep away from the display. I refused to listen, though, and practically ran towards the seller and his wares. About an hour later, I was the proud owner of twelve new porcelain vases. Only when I couldn’t find any room on the shelves to put them did I admit that perhaps I had gone a bit over the top. I mean, really, there are only so many vases that any one person can own.
Speaker 3
I remember being invited to my first big dance, I was so excited! My best friend, Jane, told me that I would have to have something new to wear. Jane had mentioned a new boutique where she had bought a gorgeous dress the week before. She described the dress to me and it sounded wonderful, so I thought I would go there and see if I could get one like hers. Well, I did find one like hers, but I couldn’t get it in a colour that suited me. Anyway, in the end, out of desperation, I ended up getting this little mini-dress.Without even trying it on, I bought it and took it home.You can imagine the look on my face when I put it on only to find that it was about two sizes too big for me.
Speaker 4
Every Saturday morning, my mum is good enough to babysit for my little boy and my best friend Julie’s little girl so the two of us can go and do a bit of shopping. Last week, though, Mum said she couldn’t because she had read about a book exhibition that she wanted to go to.What it meant, of course, was that Julie and I would have to take our kids with us to the shops. It was a disaster.What with one toddler screaming for a box of biscuits, and the other one crying for a bag of crisps, we nearly went mad. By the time we got home from the high street, we were absolutely exhausted.
Speaker 5
Last summer, my oldest friend, Cindy, and I went abroad together on a shopping trip. It was absolutely amazing. There was so much choice and everything was so cheap. Anyway, we were in a popular shopping district, when we came across a market stall selling perfume, all the top name brands. Cindy bought four bottles. At first I thought I would pass but Cindy kept going on about how I really should take advantage of the cheap prices. I finally gave in and bought three bottles. I don’t think I need to tell you how angry I was two days later back home when I spotted a shop selling the exact same perfume ...at less than half the price we had paid.
Speaker 6
My brother and I are twins and when we were young Mum always used to buy us the same outfits. Neither of us wanted to dress like the other all the time and when we were teenagers we would always make sure that we wore different things. Now we are in our thirties and have our own families. Recently, we were both invited to the opening night of a friend’s new restaurant. When I saw my brother, I immediately burst out laughing. Clearly, we had both been shopping for the occasion and chosen exactly the same blue and white checked shirt!

Interviewer: Hello, and a very warm welcome to all our listeners. This morning we have a special treat in store for you because we are recording the programme live from one of Canada’s greatest attractions, the WestEd Mall. With me is Jan Ferguson, WestEd’s chief public relations officer. Jan, thanks for talking to us this morning.
Jan: My pleasure, Gordon. As you said,WestEd is indeed one of Canada’s greatest attractions and that is saying a lot when you consider the wealth of attractions Canada has to offer.
Interviewer: Too true, Jan. Why don’t we get the ball rolling by you telling us a bit about the mall’s location.
Jan: Sounds as good a place to start as any. Well, the mall, often referred to as the ‘8th Wonder of the World’, is situated in beautiful Edmonton,Alberta. Edmonton has the proud reputation of being an extremely cosmopolitan city. Many Canadians, and people the world over, call Edmonton the ‘Gateway to the North’, and to the world-famous Rocky Mountains.
Interviewer: That’s quite an introduction, Jan! Now, how about some details about the mall itself?
Jan: Sure.The mall is located on an area of land equalling approximately 48 city blocks - we’re talking big here, Gordon!
Interviewer: We certainly are!
Jan: We’ve got something for everybody, and all under one roof.The mall has a world-class hotel - for our out-of-town guests - shops and boutiques, of course, dozens of one-of-a-kind attractions, and countless restaurants that cater for the widest range of tastes in the world. Are you hooked yet, Gordon?
Interviewer: I was before we even got started, Jan.Why don’t you tell us a bit about shopping here at the mall?
Jan: As you can imagine, it is a shopper’s paradise.When we tell you that you can come visit and ‘shop till you drop’, we are not joking! The mall has over 800 shops and department stores, including hundreds of stores that are exclusive to the mall. Of course, all your favourites are here as well - Abercrombie and Fitch, Banana Republic and G-star, just to mention a few. The mall is open all year round, including public holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. Monday to Saturday you can feed your shopping habit from 10 am to 9 pm, and on Sundays from 11 am to 5 pm. On public holidays we’re ready to serve you from 10 am to 6 pm. I’d also like to mention that visitors like yourself can take advantage of our VIP programme. All you have to do to receive fantastic discounts at over 30 participating stores is show your identification at our Guest Services Centre. One of our friendly staff will then give you a VIP pin that lets you save, save, save!
Interviewer: Jan, my wife would love this place!
Jan: Everybody loves this place! Big people, little people, seniors, you name it, there are attractions to delight one and all. The fun never stops here at the mall and you’ll never run out of entertainment options. If you want to keep the older children amused while you’re shopping, why not let them try skateboarding at the West 49 skateboard park? This is 5,000 square feet of fantastic fun for both amateur and experienced skateboarders. For the little ones, how about a round of mini-golf at Planet Golf, or a hair-raising experience in our haunted castle? I can promise you, when you come and see us at the mall, you will never hear a child say they are bored.
Interviewer: I agree with you there! Their only complaint may be that they can’t decide what to do first! Jan: Funnily enough, most of our young visitors know exactly what they want to do first.
Interviewer: Really? What’s that, then?
Jan: I won’t make you guess, Gordon. It’s the World Waterpark, all five acres of it! The temperature inside the park stays at a constant 30 degrees, and when it’s winter in Canada, believe me, that temperature is heaven compared to the temperature outside! The park has over 20 different activities including miles of waterslides, bungee jumping, hot tubs and an incredible play area where parents can spend some fun-filled quality time with their youngsters.
Interviewer: I am truly impressed, Jan. Unfortunately, we’re almost out of time. And to tell you the truth, I suddenly have a very strong urge to go shopping! Thanks so much for joining us on today’s programme,Jan.
Jan: Delighted, Gordon. Now, don’t go spending all your money in ... (fade)

Текст аудирования:
With prices constantly rising many families are really feeling the pinch these days, but other issues are important too.
These days consumers are being encouraged to follow the principles of the ‘3 Rs’ - reduce, reuse and recycle, which of course has an effect on both the environment and our pockets. I would like to show you how you can combine thinking about the environment and other social and ethical issues with saving some hard-earned cash.
To begin with, let’s consider the family car. Most families have a car and many people could not imagine life without one. It’s all very well saying people should only use public transport, but that isn’t so practical or cheap if you have a large family. So, although running a car can take quite a chunk out of your budget, you could probably save quite a bit by following a couple of simple rules. For instance, your car will be much more efficient if you keep it well-maintained and always making sure your tyre pressure is at the right level. In the long run, this will reduce your spending on petrol.
When it comes to the house, as my dear old gran used to say - waste not want not! What’s good for the environment is also good for your wallet. Don’t leave lights on and don’t leave electrical equipment on standby; leaving the TV, DVD player and other such equipment on standby eats up a lot of electricity. Also, make sure that any new electrical goods that you buy are energy efficient. On the subject of shopping, British supermarkets do offer good value for money on food generally. In fact, some people even argue that food is too cheap. Where the supermarkets do fall down though, is that food is packaged in such a way that you could end up buying more than you need and wasting it. If you buy vegetables loose, you can just buy what you will actually use.
When it comes to clothing there are plenty of shops with cheap clothes. People are concerned that this is because clothes manufacturers use cheap labour and even employ children. This can be true of both cheap clothing or expensive clothes and the ugly truth is that the consumer is given very little information about how the clothing has been produced. Some of the retail outlets have been a bit more forthcoming with information recently and I hope this practice will spread over time. But as it is, and until the situation changes, there really is no ethical difference between the cheaper companies and the pricier ones.
To finish I want to talk a little about the annual holiday. This has become a major drain on a family’s resources in recent years. The trend to travel abroad grew when cheap package holidays were on offer.We began to take it for granted that each summer we would fly off to somewhere hot and sunny where the weather was guaranteed. However, prices have increased and when we are looking to cut back on our expenses, we should consider whether we really need to go abroad. I think we tend to forget what a lovely country we live in and how high the quality of the tourist facilities in Britain are. Lots of people from abroad enjoy holidays here, so perhaps it’s time we started to make the most of it, too. For a long time our society has celebrated wastefulness and looked down on people who are careful with money as mean and miserly. This has to change in the interests of the environment and for the good of our families. The less we waste, the more we have for the things we really need. Remember, making savings just needs a little thought.
