Extremely large, extremely big . Huge, synonymous. Tables to sell things outdoors. Stalls. Well, like 13:28 Speaker A small kiosks, right, places where you can buy something. So, tables that sell things, often on the street, right? 13:40 Speaker A Well, it's not even a kiosk, what is the right word for it? Counter, yes, you could call it a counter. So the next one. Listen to a report on teenagers 'shopping habits in the UK. 13:53 Speaker A Number the questions in the audio. So, we will now listen to a report on teenagers' shopping habits. Yes, in the United Kingdom we need to number the questions in the order we hear them. 14:09 Speaker A Yes. Have you bought anything online in the last three months? Have you bought anything online in the last three months? Where do you usually get the money from when you go shopping? Where do you get the money to go shopping? 14:23 Speaker A How often do you go shopping? How often do you go shopping? So, do you count shopping as one of your hobbies? Do you consider shopping as one of your hobbies? Do you shop more in store or online? Do you do your shopping more in 14:40 Speaker A physical stores, or online? What do you buy when you go shopping? What do you buy when you go shopping? Shopping habits. Now, how do teenagers in the UK really spend their money, Charlie? Well , we asked nearly 500 teenagers to 15:00 Speaker A complete an online questionnaire about shopping habits, and we had some very interesting replies. First of all, we asked, "How often do you go shopping?" And people answered that 14%of them go shopping every week while 22%said every two weeks and a huge 38%said they go 15:22 Speaker A shopping every month. Then after that we asked, "What do you buy when you go shopping?" Well, 43%of you put clothes at the top of your list here, which isn't surprising. 16%of you put electronic goods at the top. And 15%put 15:42 Speaker A games, which is more than music at only 10%, which I found quite surprising to be honest. Then we asked, "Do you count shopping as one of your hobbies?" An amazing 80%said yes. Then we wanted to find out how people usually do their 16:01 Speaker A shopping. So we asked, "Do you shop more in store or online?" This really surprised us. 77.5%of you said that you shop in stores more than you shop online. We then asked, "Have you bought anything online in the last three 16:19 Speaker A months?" And only 26%of you said that you have. Digital world, where have you gone? Finally, we asked, "Where do you usually get the money from when you go shopping?" For most of you, this seems to be pocket money or money that people 16:36 Speaker A have given you as presents for your birthday. Christmas and so on. Obviously, we asked a lot more questions than this. And if you're interested, you can find all the results online at our website www.vwsssradio.com. Okay, so we have 16:56 Speaker A numbered the questions in the order we hear them. And we immediately completed exercise five. So we have matched the pie charts to five of the questions. So , on these pie charts, we saw the answers. Yes. So, the first question, " 17:12 Speaker A How often do you go shopping?" and the pie chart is C. So, hardly ever, monthly 38%, every two weeks 22%, and weekly 14%, and so on. So, every chart corresponds to a question. Well, except for "Where do you usually get the money 17:31 Speaker A from when you go shopping?" Yes, we don't have a pie chart for this question. So, we don't have the pie chart. So, corresponding to this question. So, and read the useful language phrases and complete them with the words in the box. So, amazing. An 17:51 Speaker A amazing example. Next. The next question is about shopping and being surprised. So useful language. Do you know how to present the results? So, how do we do some research, a survey so to speak, and present the results? I'm 18:08 Speaker A doing a survey about shopping. So, I'm conducting a survey, right, about shopping. Can I ask you a few questions ? Can I ask you a few questions? So the first, the next the last question is, yes. So, the first, the next, and the 18:31 Speaker A last question. Can you give me an example? An example. Can you give me an example, provide one? Yes. An amazing 80%said yes. An amazing. Well, "amazing " fits here. Amazing. This really surprised me. This really surprised me. 18:59 Speaker A Uh-huh. Good. Well done. And a project: an interview about shopping habits. There is also a project work suggested. 19:11 Speaker A Yes, an interview about shopping habits . So, create a way to interview your friends about their shopping habits. 19:21 Speaker A Write questions about the topics below and your own ideas. That is, you need to turn these tasks into questions, interview your classmates, for example, and then draw a conclusion: who people go shopping with? Who do people go shopping with? How often do people go 19:36 Speaker A shopping? How often? Where do people get their money? Where do people get their money? If people prefer to shop online or in store. Do people like shopping online or in a shop, after all ? Things that people usually buy. 19:51 Speaker A Things that people usually buy. How much do people spend a week? How much do people spend a week? And when people usually go shopping. When do people usually go shopping? So, interview at least 10 friends and take notes. Make 20:08 Speaker A pie charts and present your results to the class. Well, again, I suggest making charts, pie charts, and then show the percentage of how people answered this question on the pie charts. That's all for today. That's all for now. Today we have analyzed the 20:28 Speaker A Culture topic "Shopping in London" and thus fully completed the previous second unit. Units one and two. Next time we will start a new topic.
