25READING
Read about Ruby, Maria and Vashti. Tick (✔) the right answer.
Ruby
I bought some trousers online last week. Under the photo on the website, it said they were
made of leather. I haven’t got a credit card so I used Dad’s. They were expensive but he
said that was OK. They arrived two days later but when I saw them, I felt quite angry. They
were made of something different and they were too short so I’m sending them back.
Maria
Last week I found an amazing cotton skirt on one website sale and a sweater in the
same colour on another. Mum gave me the money! I had to wait nearly a week before
they arrived. But nothing else was wrong and I wear them all the time. Not today! They
need washing! I love them because they’re different from most clothes you find.
Vashti
I don’t usually buy clothes online but I really wanted a leather jacket and couldn’t find one
I liked in my size in the shops. My aunt saw one online and bought it for me. It arrived
the next day and it goes really well with most of my other clothes. I’ve got it on at the
moment!
