The shopping habit

Kate and Molly are both students. They go to the same college in London and
they’re very good friends. They both enjoy the cinema and going to the gym and,
like all young people, they both love shopping. But they go shopping in very
different places.
Kate likes shopping in town. She likes going into different shops to look at
different clothes and takes her boyfriend Sam with her. He doesn’t like shopping,
but he likes Kate! He goes shopping with her every Saturday and sits and waits in
the shops. Sometimes Kate stays in town for five hours. She looks at clothes in
different colours and sizes and tries them on. Her favourite designer is Calvin
Klein, but he’s quite expensive, so Kate doesn’t often buy his clothes. She
doesn’t have a lot of money and she can’t buy a lot of clothes, but she loves
looking.
Molly also likes designer clothes. She loves buying shoes and she has a lot in her
room. But Molly doesn’t go shopping in town. She prefers to use the Internet.
She loves shopping online. She sits at her computer for hours and looks for cheap
clothes and shoes. Sometimes when the clothes arrive, they aren’t the right size.
Sometimes they aren’t the right colour, but that’s no problem for Molly. She
 returns them and buys more. Molly doesn’t like going to the shops in town where
there are a lot of people. She likes her computer – it’s her favourite shop!

Example: Kate and Molly are sisters.

Review of local restaurant
The new restaurant, Bailey’s, in Park Road is a great success. It opened last month and is
now the most popular restaurant in Thornton town centre. It’s smaller than the others and
it’s definitely more expensive, but the food is delicious. It’s easy to get to because it’s
near the bus station and the main car park in town.
The owner, chef Mike Bailey, worked in a big London hotel before he started the
restaurant and he learned to cook from some of the best chefs in the world. He thinks the
most important thing is to have fresh food – everything on his menu is fresh. He buys his
meat and vegetables from local farms and the fish is from the River Thorn. Believe me –
it’s all delicious!
My favourite dish on the menu is the roast chicken. It’s a traditional meal but the
vegetables are beautifully cooked and it comes with a special sauce. I loved the desserts.
For me, the best dessert is the chocolate cake with home-made ice cream. For people on a
diet, it’s not a good idea to go to Bailey’s!
The restaurant is also well designed and decorated. You can see directly into the kitchen
and watch the young chefs at work. They cook quickly, but everything is always perfect.
The smells from the kitchen are wonderful and they make you very hungry! The service
is also very good and quick.
Bailey’s is always busier than the other restaurants in town. Try it soon, but remember to
book in advance. And don’t eat anything before you go!

Example: A lot of people like Bailey’s restaurant.

British artists living abroad

Article by James Noble
Sally Campbell is a 32-year-old actress from London, but right now, she’s living
in Paris in a flat that overlooks the Seine. Sally’s mother is French, which means
Sally can speak the language perfectly. Sally is very talented. She likes acting in
films, but she can also sing and dance brilliantly and she currently has a leading
part in a French musical. She can also play the piano very well. In her spare time,
Sally likes to relax at home by watching romantic films. She has no plans to
return to Britain.
Tom Hammond is from Glasgow, but he lives in New York. He’s 18 and he’s a
music student. Tom can play the piano and the guitar very well. He also writes
songs with his friend John. Tom writes the music and John writes the lyrics.
When they’re happy with a new song, they usually perform it to students at the
college. They love to have an audience and would really like to be in a band.
When he isn’t composing, Tom downloads his favourite music from the Internet.
Hannah Brown is a writer. She’s from Manchester, but she lives in Italy.
Hannah is 25 and likes writing romantic novels. Her ambition, of course, is to be
a published writer, so she writes every day for at least four hours. Her favourite
