LET’S BARGAIN!
Do people bargain in your community? Do you know how to bargain effectively? Do you think
bargaining is a good practice?
Bargain is the action of negotiating the price of an object
Or a service before you buy it. This practice takes place in many parts of the world, mostly in
markets, where the seller and a buyer debate the price of an item until coming to an agreement.
However, if the negotiation is not successful, the sale doesn’t happen.
But bargaining can also happen in places where expensive items are sold, such as stores selling
jewelry,
antiques, cars, or art. In places like Indonesia, even children know how to bargain because
bargaining, happens everywhere, from street markets to expensive shops and hotels. In other
places, like in Southeast Asia, this practice is considered an insult, especially when it is related
to food. So when bargaining, consider where you are and be fair with the prices of the good
and / or service you want to buy.
Below is an example of bargaining. Read what happened at a bike shop when a lady wanted to
buy a bike for her son.
Jane: That bike looks cool. How much do you want
for it? Nick: Fifty dollars.
Nick: fifty dollars.
Jane: That’s too much! How about twenty dollars?
Nick: Hmm… I can give it to you for thirty dollars.
Jane: Is that your best price?
Nick: That’s my final offer.
Jane: Hmm… OK. I’ll take it.
Bargaining-or haggling, which is another name for this practice can happen in many different
places. However, keep in mind that it is not usually possible to bargain in certain types of shop,
such as supermarkets and chain stores. Also, remember to be polite and fair when bargaining.

CONVERSATION.
lizeth was packing up her room to move house when suddenly she found
some original photos of billie eilish but she decided she wouldn't take them
as they took up a lot of space and she decided
to post them on facebook to sell them at their
original price.
After three hours, she called the first person of
hers interested in the paintings and asked if
they could see them somewhere for her to see
and evaluate to buy, and Lizeth gladly agreed.
In the individual parking lot:
camila: hello, good afternoon, litzh, how much
did you tell me, how much do the billie eilish
paintings cost?
litzh: the price of the paintings is one hundred dollars, look I'll show you.
camila: omg it's very expensive and the paintings have some tears, couldn't
you let me have it cheaper, like forty dollars?
lizeth: oh, it's not a very low price, you're right about the tears but they
don't differ much apart from the fact that I have to get some of my money
back, how about I give it to you for fifty? Dollars?
camila: hmmm... okay, I'll take them.
Both were able to negotiate well since they were both right, Camila
because of what she saw that some paintings were broken and Lizth
because she wouldn't be recovering even half of what they cost her, both
were satisfied.

CASE STUDY
What is upcycling?
Welcome to our upcycling website! We know you care about the environment and want to help
save it. Here you will find useful information on upcycling, as well as creative ideas to recycle
everyday objects and reduce their impact on the planet. To explore the site, you can browse by
materials or everyday objects. We are sure you will find many cool ideas. Make upcycling your
new free time activity!
Do you have a good idea to share? Are you upcycling already? Write to us. We'll be happy to
share it with other readers. From the moment we wake up in the morning, until we lay at night,
we perform routines that can be as old as we are: we take a shower every day, we eat lunch
every day, we work and play every day. We also throw a lot of things away every day.
Sometimes, we discard these items without even thinking about giving them a second life. But
it's easy to make things useful again. For example, a glass bottle which is no longer useful as a
container can be reused as a flower pot or, with a little more creativity can be converted into a
lamp. This is what we call "upcycling", and by doing so we can contribute to the well-being of
our planet. There are many places to learn about what upcycling is and our website is one of
them.
