● Before you go shopping, make a list of the things you want.
● When you go shopping for clothes, ask yourself:
Why am I buying this T-shirt? Is it only because it’s on sale? Is it really a bargain? Do I really want a
purple and green T-shirt?
● Don’t shop for food at the supermarket when you feel hungry! Hungry people buy too much food –
and the wrong kind of food! Go shopping after a meal.
● Buy things from your local market. Prices are usually cheaper there.
● When you go into a shop, ask the salesperson for help or advice. Then you won’t buy the wrong
things.
● Don’t go shopping when you are bored. Not all activities cost money! For example, you can meet your
friends in the park.
● Save some money every week. Do you really want an ice cream every day in the summer? Stop
buying ice cream for a month and you can afford to buy that awesome new computer game!

Ramon, you’re Spanish, so why did you come to England?

When I was a teenager, I always wanted to visit England. Then I found a job with a movie production
company and came to London to work. It’s a dream come true! At the moment I’m living in an
apartment in Wimbledon, and I travel to work by train. I don’t really enjoy that. I have a long walk to
the train station, and then I stand in the train for forty-five minutes with hundreds of other people. I
hardly ever sit.

What’s your apartment like?

I can’t afford to live in the center of London, but one day I will! My apartment’s quite small, but
Wimbledon is a great part of London, and there are lots of interesting stores in the area. My Spanish
cousins and friends sometimes visit me, but unfortunately, my visitors sleep on the floor because my
apartment has only one bedroom! But I’m very lucky to live in one of the world’s most exciting cities. I
can find all my favorite things here: great music, art, history, sport ...

Have you visited other parts of England?

Yes, I often go to different places for my job. Last month we were filming in a small village. It was so
different from London! It was quiet and there were woods, hills and a river. One day, when I’m rich, I’ll
have a small house there!

What about the food in England?

The supermarkets in London have got food from all over the world, and I can find lots of Spanish food:
sausages, vegetables, olive oil … and there are lots of Spanish restaurants. But I also enjoy trying food
from other countries. My favorite is Chinese!

And the weather?

The weather here is terrible! Even English people say that!
