Introduction

People like shopping malls because they can find a lot of different stores in one place. Shopping malls are usually inside one or several large buildings so people can stay out of the weather while they shop. Escalators and walkways connect the different stores and levels. Shopping malls usually include large department stores, and smaller stores such as clothing stores, electronics stores and sporting goods stores. Apart from shops and services such as restrooms and ATM machines, there are cafés and restaurants. Many shopping malls also have movie theaters and sports clubs.

2 Work in groups. Follow the steps to create your own shopping mall. Take turns making notes.

Step 2 Make a map of your shopping mall ■ Draw the outline of your shopping mall. What shape

is it? How many levels does it have? Where’s the main entrance?

■ Add outlines of the different shops. Choose the best place and shape for each shop.

■ What other things do you need to add to the plan – restrooms, ATM machines, stairs … ?

Let’s make the shopping mall rectangular.

This is the best place for the sporting goods store.

I think the clothing store should be next to the sporting goods store.

We need to add some restrooms and ATM machines.

Why don’t we put the restrooms here?

That’s a good/great idea.

Step 1 Choose the stores ■ Which kinds of stores do you want to include –

sporting goods store, clothing store, electronics store … ?

■ Each member of the group chooses one store. Give your store a name – Sportsmania, Trends, Pi Store …

■ What other services do you want in your shopping mall – restaurants, movie theaters, a sports club … ?

We should have one or two clothing stores.

I’d like to have a sporting goods store because I like sports.

Why don’t we have an electronics store?

That’s a great / a good / an interesting idea.

How about having a food court with different restaurants?

I want to call my store Sportsmania. What do you think?
