SHOPPING- A PERSONAL VIEW

There are many different types of shops- department stores, supermarkets, market stalls,
traditional shops, the list is endless. But whether I’m in a huge modern shopping center, a cosy
village shop or an outdoor market in Morocco, it’s all the same to me. It’s shopping. (0)
__________ .
There are three types of people. Those who love shopping, those who don’t have an opinion,
and those who hate it. Those who love it are “ shopaholics”. They buy anything, at anytime, in
anywhere, and at any price. (1) __________ Those who don’t have an opinion will usually do
enough shopping for a comfortable life. They know how to say no to a bargain and when their
credit card is reaching its limit.
Those who hate it will try anything to get out of doing it. They ask their family and friends.
for help. They happily go without milk or sugar in their coffee rather than go to buy some more.
They wear socks with holes in them and don’t buy new ones. (2) __________
I, of course, am one of the “haters”, but when I’m absolutely forced to go because I have
nothing left in the house to eat, drink or wear, I like to be left alone. (3) __________ They try to
make you think they’re interested. They try to make you feel special. They tell you that a pair of
green trousers with red spots really suit you, but you know they only want your cash. Give me a
bored, rude or disinterested shop assistant any day!
The sales? You won’t see me there. Think of those pushing crowds rushing about looking
for bargains, lines of people queuing up waving their credit cards. If I spent more than five
minutes in this environment, I’d have a nervous breakdown!
Of course there are also serious reasons why I dislike some shops. (4) __________ Their
prices are too high and they sell perfectly shaped, perfectly coloured fruit and vegetables which
make you wonder what is done to them when they are being grown.
Shopping by computer, that’s the answer. (5) __________ It probably wouldn’t affect the
serious problems I have mentioned, but it would certainly get rid of the crowds and avoid the “
helpful” assistant.

Helen Skelton
Television presenter Helen Skelton has completed various dangerous challenges for
charity, including a desert marathon run and a journey down the Amazon river in a tiny boat. For
her latest challenge, Helen walked on a high wire, a long thin piece of metal, 66 metres above the
ground, between the two towers of an empty power station. There was no safety net, only a belt
around her waist attached to another wire above. To help her keep her balance and not to fall, she
carried a long stick, weighing eight kilograms.
Helen took lessons from an expert high-wire walker. Although she already had a few
circus skills, she quickly discovered that high-wire walking was completely different. The
training was a shock’, said Helen. “I didn’t realise how strong I’d need to be. Every day started at
8 am with a run up a steep hill; then came an hour of exercises, with another hour of them after
my day practising on the wire. I also had to learn how to fall onto the wire so that if I slipped I
could carry on. Every time I fell on the wire it hurt badly. But it was essential to keep a positive
attitude: if I was nervous and started shaking, so would the wire!”
The day of the actual challenge was windy and Helen controlled herself by taking deep
breaths as she moved step by step along the wire. The 150-metre walk took 15 minutes. That was
the scariest thing I’ve done,’ she admitted afterwards. I’m glad it’s over!’
The experience has not prevented Helen, however, from planning her next charity project: to
reach the South Pole by ski, kite and bike.

A. introducing a new television presenter.
B. getting support for a charity project.

A. she had a net that could catch her.
B. she had a stick to support herself with.

A. staying on the wire was so difficult.
B. she had to work so hard at her fitness.
C. it was so important to be confident.

4. When Helen performed her work on the high wire
A. she was sorry to get to the end.
B. the weather conditions were perfect.
C. it took less time than expected.
D. she managed to keep herself calm.
