3 Shopping for Clothes

This activity aims to help students to improve their listening skills and to be familiar with the vocabulary
related to doing the shopping.

Materials and Preparation
Photocopy the worksheet in the link below for each student.
https://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/sites/teens/files/shopping_for_clothes_-_exercises_4.pdf
Then, prepare the audio in the QR code.
Procedure
1 Hand out the worksheet to students. Ask them to read the worksheet before listening to the audio
so that they can be familiar with the topic and the vocabulary used. Have them work in pairs to write
the correct word in the boxes below the picture.
2 Remind them that the preparation part on the worksheet will be studied in pairs, but the rest of the
activities will be done individually.
3 Play the audio and have students listen to it carefully. If needed, play the audio once again. When
they have finished the activity, check the answers with the class. Have students discuss the topic in
discussion part in pairs. If students haven't bought an item of clothing, they can talk about anything
they have bought. At the end of the activity, ask students to write a similar dialogue between a shop
assistant and a customer. Let them act their dialogues out.
4 Then, have the class vote to choose their friends who wrote the best dialogue and explain why they
have voted for them.

4 Future Plans

The aim of this activity is to help students to recall the structural patterns about future plans that they
have learned previously. It also helps them to think creatively and effectively.

Materials and Preparation
Photocopy only one worksheet on page 197 and cut up the cards.

Procedure
1 Ask students to sit or stand in a circle. Point out to them that they are going to make sentences using
‘be going to’ to tell their plan for the object picked from the bag.
2 Put all the cards in a bag and take a card from the bag randomly. Ask one student “Why do you have
a/an ... in your bag?” That student then answers the question explaining his/her plan for this object. For
example, ‘A: Why do have two slices of bread in your bag? B: I am going to give it to the birds in the school
garden.’
3 Then, ask students to take turns to ask and answer questions about the object they pick from the
bag. If a student cannot answer a question appropriately or cannot think of a use for the object,
s/he is out of the game and must leave the circle.
4 The game will go on until only one student, the winner, remains.
