How to stop shopping
I love clothes. I know how to shop and I know when to stop. I cant spend too much money, or my bank could cancel my debit card! However, you can find the best bargains without spending all your money. Heres how Firstly, you dont need to shop when you can swap! Organise a swapping party with your friends. Tell them they must bring the clothes they dont wear anymore. Then you exchange your old clothes with other people. Its much cheaper than shopping. You dont need to spend a cent! Whats more if you visit bigwardrobe.com, youll also be able to swap your clothes online. Secondly, you wont need to buy so many clothes, if you learn to make your own. I remember my mum making clothes which I thought werent fashionable enough. But knitting is a lot cooler than it was before. New clothes can also be too expensive; we dont always have the money. So why not knit yourself a jumper, hat, or scarf? If you look on youtube.com, youll find lots of videos which show you how to knit. You can be the most original person at school. Finally, if you shop at a charity shop, youll help other people. A charity shop is a shop that sells secondhand things which people donate. The shop gives all the money it makes to charity. A charity is an organisation which helps others. The people who work in these shops are usually volunteers. You can buy clothes at cheap prices. There are also online charity shops like oxfam.org.uk that have a selection of second-hand things for sale.

IDIOMS, COLLOQUIALISMS AND OTHER EXPRESSIONS The worst driver in the world? Read the following story and decide which of the words and expressions in bold correspond to the dictionary definitions 1 - 14.

My brother Ted must be the world's worst driver. It started when he was young and used to go for joyrides, causing pile-ups which resulted in traffic jams and gridlocks for other drivers. As a young adult, he was a real boy racer, putting his foot down, driving like the clappers and then jamming on the brakes. I reckon he must have written off at least six of the bangers he used to drive. He's still a real road hog, tailgating other cars and getting involved in road rage incidents. He's offered to give me a lift home tonight, but to be honest, I'd rather thumb a lift. He's picking me up in a few minutes; maybe I'd better have one for the road. At least it's rush hour and the roads will be chock-a-block so he won't be able to drive too fast! Honestly - sometimes he drives me round the bend!

1. To follow very closely behind another vehicle. 2. An old car, usually in poor condition. 3. To hitch-hike, to ask a car driver or a truck driver to take you as a passenger. 4. A person who drives fast and dangerously. 5. To accelerate very quickly. 6. To make someone angry or crazy. 7. A young man who drives fast and dangerously. 8. A trip for pleasure, usually in a stolen car. 9. To stop a vehicle very suddenly. 10. A final drink before leaving a bar or pub. 11. A violent attack by a driver on another car or its driver. 12. To damage a car so badly that it can no longer be repaired. 13. A crash involving a series of vehicles which have smashed into one another. 14. The time of the day when traffic is very bad, trains are crowded, etc.
