You are going to read an article about a clothes shop. Six sentences have been removed from the article.
Choose from the sentences A–G the one which fits each gap (1–6). There is one extra sentence you do not
need to use.
When a branch of a famous international fashion store opened in our town recently, everyone was very excited. It’s a
fairly small town and teenagers in particular looked forward to shopping in the store, which was well known for selling a
cool range of fashionable clothes aimed at young people.
Until then, teens looking to buy the latest styles and labels had to wait until they went into the nearest big city, or
ordered stuff online without having the chance to try it on. (1) . Apart from anything else, the store soon
became known as a cool place to hang out and see your friends.
Imagine, therefore, everyone’s excitement to hear that the store’s policy was to employ local teenagers as part-time
staff in busy periods and at weekends. (2) There was no advertisement online, for example, and no sign
on the door saying ‘hiring staff: apply within’ or anything like that. It just became apparent that some teenagers had got
weekend jobs there.
What everyone later discovered was that, in the first few days after the opening, staff at the store had approached a few
young customers and asked them if they’d be interested in working there. Those who showed interest were invited to an
interview. (3) After all, part-time jobs were few and far between in the area, and nobody had ever heard of
kids their age having to go through an interview process.
The teenagers who were lucky enough to get these invitations, went straight onto the Internet and found plenty of sites
that advised them how to behave in a job interview. They found model answers to the questions they were most likely to
be asked and set about learning these off by heart. (4) What would be the best thing to wear? Should the
interviewees turn up in formal interview clothes, or should they wear casual clothes, more like the stuff that the store
itself sold? After all, this could be the sort of detail on which success rested. In the event, most people played it safe
and wore something neutral.
When the day of the interview came, the interviewees were asked to come to the store half an hour before it opened.
Around six teenagers were being interviewed and they were shown into a small room and told to stay there together
until the manager arrived. (5) These teenagers all knew each other from High School, and there was no
secret about why they were there. Were they in competition for one job? Was more than one job available? Nobody
dared ask these questions.
After about five minutes, the manager appeared and took them for a walk round the store. As they walked from
department to department, she explained what the work involved, the rules they would have to follow and how much
they would be paid. ‘Does anybody have any questions?’ she’d asked as they returned to the small waiting room.
(6) The explanation had been very clear, and they’d all got questions prepared to ask for the interview
itself. ‘OK,’ she said. ‘That’s it. You’ll hear from us in a couple of days and if we decide to offer you a job, you’ll start next
Saturday.’ With that, she left the room. The teenagers all looked at each other. ‘Is that it?’ somebody said finally. ‘Was
that the interview?’ Two days later, two of the teenagers got the offer of a part-time job. They were the only two who had
gone to the interview wearing clothes bought in the store itself.
