Then, they will get in groups of 4: 2 students A and 2 students B and start a debate to finally come to a conclusion: Is online shopping definitely better than going to a store in person? Is going to a store better than online shopping? Does it depend? On what? Ask students to feel free to add ideas different from the ones in the article, to expand and exemplify their points and to use expressions for debates like the ones we have in the conversation gambits.

Give them a model and encourage them to use superlatives - E.g. This sweater is made of the warmest material: Wool. It costs $50.oo / This blouse is made of the finest silk in the world. It’s $500.oo These are the most beautiful shoes we have in the store. You can take them for only $40.ooAs soon as they are ready, ask half of the groups to visit the other ones as shoppers. Sellers will have to convince shoppers to buy their products. After some minutes, change roles. At the end, the class will choose the group that sold the most items.

Annex2: Articles about online shopping

Advantages for Shopping OnlineBy georgelarson

Retrived from: http://www.infobarrel.com/Advantages_for_Shopping_Online, February 28th 2011

Online shopping has changed the way we go 'window shopping' for items we use and need in our day to day lives. Over 90 percent of individuals who use the Internet to buy items do so at least once a month, with some in the habit to shop online several times a week. What is it about shopping on the web, versus going to the shopping mall, that makes them keep going back to their computer to shop?

Advantages to go online shopping:

There are many people who have yet to shop online. They prefer to go to their 'brick and mortar' store to shop. Everything you buy at the store is available online. It does not matter if you are looking for clothes, groceries, furniture, shoes, or anything else you will find it on the web. Here are some of the benefits to shopping online versus going to the store.

The Internet is open 24/7/365. Saves money by not needing to use gas to find what you are looking for. You will not make a trip to the Mall just to find out what you want is out of stock. Avoid the crowded malls. Compare prices from many retailers easily by using services such as Google Product Search. There will not be a long wait in the checkout lanes. The receipt for your purchase is automatically emailed to you which provides convenience and saves

paper. Specify a different ship-to address and your purchase will be delivered to that destination without you

mailing it. Internet shoppers save time: According to the American ShopperScape 2008 report:

"More shoppers use online shopping to save time than to save money. Shoppers are gradually shifting some shopping away from stores to Web sites, which may affect shopping patterns even more dramatically in the future given rising gasoline prices and time scarcity."

Online shopping is a alternative way to shop: When you cannot get to the store or just do not want to get caught up in the mall experience, Web shopping is a great alternative.

Times to look at online stores include:

Finding exclusive items. You want to buy an item that is rare. Since few stores carry such the item you are looking for finding it on the Internet makes sense.

Comparison shopping. When you are preparing to purchase something that is very expensive the Internet provides a great way to efficiently comparison shop.

Find options for what you want to buy. You are curious and want to know what options there are for the product you want to buy. Going to several stores takes time and gas money. On the Internet you can literally go from your front door to the other side of the world with just a click of your mouse. Sit back and take your time. You will find the option that works for you.

Privacy for your purchase. You want to make a purchase without anyone seeing you or knowing about it. Think about how nice it would be to buy a gift for Birthdays or Christmas, have it delivered to your work, and no one will ever suspect a thing.

Cannot leave your house. There is a reason you cannot leave your house. When you are feeling ill, taking care of someone who is sick, inclement weather, or lack of transportation or time.

Shopping online provides a convenient alternative for purchasing your items. Going to shop at a store is what we grew up doing. Yet, today, the Internet has provided a second purchasing

option.

Disadvantages of online shopping

Article Source: http://www.saching.com/Article/Disadvantages-of-Online-Shopping/3488 , February 28th, 2011

The craze of online shopping has picked up quite significantly in the last decade and online sellers are expected to improve their share of purchases for years to come. There is no doubt that you can find great deals on line and so many different brands which may not be even available in regular stores, even shopping malls. If you have never shopped online or even if you are a regular online shopper, you should understand that despite of all the hype, there are certain disadvantages of online shopping.

1. YOU DO NOT PHYSICALLY SEE THE ITEMS: Normally when we shop from a regular store, we can see the item and at least visually inspect that it looks fine.

You can select a colour, size and can even speak to a sales person to clarify doubts regarding an item. I feel the biggest disadvantage of online shopping is we do not physically see the item till it arrives. May be you have seen it in the nearby mall but there is a possibility that the particular piece you have ordered may be defective. Misinterpretation or misunderstanding of items bought online is a common problem. Usually the photo of items you see online are much better than once you have the item in front of you.

2. WAIT FOR THE ITEMS TO ARRIVE: Once you place you order the waiting game starts. You have to wait for a few days for the item to arrive which

can be quite frustrating. Most experts believe that we are most excited about your “buy” in the first few days, so by the time your item arrives you will most likely be less excited about your “buy” in the first few days, so by the time your item arrives you will most likely be less excited then getting the item on same day you made the payment.

3. SHIPPING CHARGES: Only a few sites offer free shipping, some others will ship for free only if your total purchase price exceeds a

certain amount. Shipping fee is often a big discouragement for online shoppers.

4. RETURNING MERCHANDISE: Even if the seller agrees to take back the defective merchandise, you often have to pay the cost of shipping it

back. Additionally you have to call and convince the people regarding the reason of your return. Some good sites do have excellent return policy, but not everyone.

5. ONLINE SECURITY: Making payments online is usually safe but not always. There way be sites which are not secure or do not

encrypt your personal credit card data, so if a hacker breaks in their system, you personal data can be compromised.

6. RISK OF ONLINE FRAUD: Some people pretend selling items at a very cheap price and often send you a low quality, opened or

refurbished item, in other cases the site may shut down unexpectedly, leaving lot of customers who might have already paid for the item but did not receive anything. Shopping online can also take you to phishing site which want to defraud you.

7. YOU CANNOT BUY LOW PRICED OR PERISHABLE ITEMS ON THE WEB: Small items like pencil, eraser, socks, water bottles etc… are low priced items and shipping them will likely

double the cost. You will always have to depend on regular stores for them. Similarly items like milk, fruits and vegetables are perishable items and cannot be ordered online.

Most good internet sites have taken adequate measures to overcome most of these disadvantages. An intelligent online shopper knows a lot more than a novice. Both regular stores and online

shopping have advantages and disadvantages of their own.

Suggested task: Financial Advice OfficeAsk students to describe a financial problem they have. We strongly recommend creating a bank of possible situations students may have. For instance they can say that their weekly allowance is gone way too soon or that usually, by the time Christmas arrives, they don’t have enough money to buy their family presents. Also, come up with ideas for possible solutions for typical financial problems: saving from weekly allowance, getting a part-time job, asking sb to lend them money, selling candy or other goods at school, etc. Present these ideas to students and complement them with your students’ contributions. Next, divide the group into two: half of them are going to be people looking for financial advice and the rest will be financial advisors. People with problems will rotate in an organized way so that they get advice from different experts and take notes. Train them on how to use the target grammar to share advice-e.g. If you stop buying so much candy every day, you will save enough money by the end of the year to

buy presents. Then, they can change roles. The idea would be to select the most common problem and the best solution.
