2 the article. Discuss their meaning and use them to
The original TV advert soon became so popular that
it was considered to be one of the best commercials
that year, winning numerous industry awards. In fact,
in the month following its release, it helped double
the number of visitors to the Citroën website.
The success of the advertising campaign lay in the
cinematic quality of its execution. Although it was
only designed to promote a product, the superb
choreography, the dazzling animation and the cool
music all added to its appeal. Fans loved it because
it was lively, fun, and original. Not to mention that
it was short and fast-moving, which meant viewers
could re-watch it many times without feeling bored.
However, many viewers seemed to be confused by
the advert. They loved the robot and some even
said that they would purchase it without hesitation.
This was the first clue that the advert wasn't entirely
successful. Additionally, despite its entertainment
value, they could never quite recall the make of the
car or the model. And isn’t that what the advert was
devised for in the first place?
4 Work in pairs. Discuss the questions.

Monica: It sure is! I got it online. there are no city centre shops left!
James: Did you? I thought you liked going to the shops

Monica: I used to, when I was a bit younger. I spent less
time at the shopping centre when I started work, even
though my house was right next to it. Actually, I didn’t
really discover online shopping until I broke my leg. A
friend sent me a link to her favourite website to cheer me
up, and as soon as I bought my first sweater I was hooked.
James: So, why do you like it so much?
Monica: There are lots of reasons, like being able to use
search engines so you can find the best deals across stores.
And the fact that you don’t have to carry your shopping
home – somebody brings it to your doorstep for you.
James: But don’t you miss not being able to pick things up
off the shelf and see what they’re like?
Monica: Of course that’s good, but actually it can also be
one of the annoying things about going shopping. Say
you see some shoes you like and you want to try them on
– what happens if they don’t have your size? There haven’t
really been any occasions when I couldn’t get something
online – I suppose that’s because there are so many
companies out there, so there’s more selection. That’s the
thing I appreciate above all else.
James: But aren’t you more likely to buy things for the sake
of it on the internet?
Monica: I don’t think so.
James: I do, especially on those discount shopping sites.
They send me an email about this amazing bike gear at
a great price. I see some cycling shorts. I’ve got perfectly
good cycling shorts, but these are really good quality ones,
they’re a great price and there’s only one pair left, so I buy
them. If I change my mind, I usually can’t be bothered to
send them back.

Ben: You’re never going to believe this – I won £10,000 in
the lottery!
Matt: Oh, wow, that’s amazing! So, have you got any plans
for what to spend it on?
Ben: Well, I know the sensible thing would be to put it
in the bank, and save it for the future. It would mean I
wouldn’t need to borrow any money to pay university fees,
for example. But I was actually thinking of buying a car.
Matt: Really? But you haven’t even passed your driving test
yet!
Ben: True. But I would also use the money to pay for
driving lessons!
Matt: So, you’re not going to take your friends on holiday,
then?
Ben: What – to a luxury Caribbean island or something?
Matt: Something like that, yeah.
Ben: Sorry, but no, I’m not going to do that!
Matt: Well, that is a shame.

1 Interviewer: What do you spend your monthly
allowance on, Lola?
Lola: Well, I spend a bit on going out, I suppose.
Interviewer: Things like going to the cinema?
Lola: No. I prefer watching films on my laptop.
Interviewer: How about clothes – or shoes – you know
– the latest trainers? Do you spend a lot on those?
Lola: Well, fashion is important to some of my friends,
but it’s not that important to me. Some of my friends
will spend all their pocket money on a pair of new
jeans. But then they’ll have no money to go out, or to
get food.
Interviewer: So, you spend most of your money on
food?
Lola: I do, yes. I actually spend quite a bit on takeaways
every month!
2 I had heard of credit card cloning. That’s when
somebody makes a copy of your credit card that they
can then use wherever they like. Of course I didn’t
think it would happen to me until I got a call from the
fraud department of my bank. The reason they knew
that somebody had cloned my card was that on a day
when I’d used my card in London, somebody had also
used the card to withdraw cash in New York. The bank
realized it was impossible for me to be in two places
at once like that, and they stopped my card. It hasn’t
stopped me using my credit card, but I probably look at
my statement more often these days.

3 Jack: Hey, Zoe. Can I ask for your advice? I bought this
tablet yesterday – and it doesn’t work! And I’ve lost the
receipt! What should I do?
Zoe: Sure, Jack. Well, you need to return it to the shop.
You can show them your bank statement. That provides
all the details they need about the transaction.
Jack: That’s a good idea – thanks. In fact, I remember
my mum doing that to return a kitchen table she’d
bought. One leg was shorter than the others!
Zoe: No way! Actually, my dad returned a bedside lamp
last week which he’d bought online. He sent it back,
and they’ve already sent him a replacement.
4 It doesn’t seem that long ago when everyone was
living on credit. Nobody used cash to pay for anything,
and it just seemed normal to buy what you wanted on
your card whether you had the money or not. Then,
the credit crunch happened, countries started going
bankrupt and people began to analyse their own
attitude to money. I think quite a lot of people tried
to pay off their credit card debts at that point. I did
anyway. It took a long time and made me realize how
hard it was to save that sort of money. I think I became
a bit more responsible. These days I still have a credit
card for emergencies, but I like to pay for everything in
cash if I can.
5 I didn’t use to be very good at saving money until
somebody recommended a simple way of doing it.
You just open different savings accounts for different
things that you want to save for. So you could have a
holiday account, a deposit for a house account and
a car account. I don’t earn loads of money, but every
month I transfer a bit of cash into each of my different
savings accounts. You hardly notice it coming out of
your current account and it’s amazing how quickly it
mounts up!
6 Money and financial planning has recently been added
to the UK curriculum. Children between the ages
of eleven and fourteen can now learn about things
like budgeting and managing money in maths and
citizenship lessons. There has been a campaign to
include this type of information in lessons for several
years and many people are delighted about the fact
that children now have the opportunity to learn about
money from an early age. And hopefully, as these
children grow older, the country may become better
equipped to deal with its finances.
