Talking about shopping
Here are two shopwindow displays for you to look at. Work in pairs and pretend you
are standing in front of these shops which are next to each other. You are allowed to
choose one object from the window for each member of your family. Tell your friend
which objects you will choose, and why. (Choose something for your mother, father,
brother and sister.)
Example: “I would choose the cricket jersey for my father because my mother hates
knitting and my father is a keen cricketer.”
