Mini test
Name & Surname:
My free shopping trip
Have you ever been to a shop and bought a dress that
was too small or some shoes that were too
uncomfortable? I have. Have you ever bought clothes
online and then never worn them? Yes, me too. In
fact, although my wardrobe is full I usually wear the
same trousers and jumpers every week. I think most
of my friends have the same problem.
Now imagine a clothes store with no check out and no
prices! Last weekend, I went to a store like that. It was
a ‘Clothes swap’ at my college. Here’s how it works.
You bring clothes that are nearly new which you don’t
want any more. Then you swap with other people. I
took twelve items to the ‘Clothes swap’. When I
arrived at about 9.30, it was already busy. One of the
student organizers checked that my items were clean
and nearly new. Then she gave me twelve labels – one
label for each of my items – which I could swap for
new clothes.
There were changing rooms and mirrors, so I tried on
a few things. I wanted a blue party dress but there
wasn’t anything blue in my size. I decided not to look
at the shoes at all. (I don’t need more shoes!) Instead,
I tried on a cute black skirt and smart white shirt. They
were perfect. By lunchtime, I still had ten labels but it
was time to go. Although I swapped just two items for
my original twelve – I was happy.
The ‘Clothes swap’ was a lot of fun. My wardrobe and
my bedroom are tidier. Swapping is also good for the
planet because it is a kind of recycling. The clothes I
brought home are not new, but they feel new to me. I
think swap events are something that everyone can
enjoy. Happy swapping – and don’t go shopping!
