When we want to buy things, we usually say we are going shopping. We go to a store (American English) or shop (British English). If it is a group of shops together, we might say we are going to the shopping center. If we want to buy food, we may say we are going grocery shopping. A shopping mall is a large group of shops in a covered area in which you can walk around.

A large shop that sells all kinds of foods is called a supermarket. A hypermarket usually includes a supermarket and department store. A department store is a large shop with different sections or departments selling lots of different things. A delicatessen or deli sells cooked foods or prepared foods like salads, cold cooked meats and cheeses. A butcher sells different meat products. A fruit and vegetable shop or greengrocer sells fruit and vegetables. A bakery sells different kinds of bread. A florist is a shop or company that sells flowers, especially flowers that have been put together in a special way. A secondhand shop has things that are not new. A plant shop or garden center is a place where you can buy flowers and plants to grow in your garden. A boutique sells women's clothing and jewelery. Factory outlets are stores selling brandname clothes and shoes at discounted prices. A stall is a place in a market where you can sell things.

A store that sells milk, ice-cream, small amounts of groceries etc. and is often open longer than other stores has different names in different English-speaking countries: for example, convenience store, 7-Eleven (parts of Australia), dairy (New Zealand), corner store, superette or newsagent. You need to find the name that is used where you are living.

A store that has a drive-thru or drive-through part allows you to buy something without leaving your car.

The person who helps or serves you in a store is known as a shop assistant or sales assistant. If we need to see the person in charge, we ask to speak to the manager or a supervisor. A changing room is a place in the shop with a mirror where you can try clothes on. The checkout is the place where you pay for what you have bought. The till (British English) or cash register (American English) is the machine used to add up how much is spent and give change. At a supermarket you put your food in a cart known as a shopping cart or trolley.

If you want to exchange something, you want to change or replace it for something else because it's the wrong size etc. A receipt is a piece of paper that lists what you bought from a shop and the price. If you get a bargain, you think something is a cheap or good price. If you pay in cash, you pay in money in notes and coins. If something is on special, the price of something is lower than it usually is. When a shop has a sale, it is selling things at lower prices than it usually does. Fresh food is food that is not old and it has been made or picked not long ago.

The shoe types can be simple or fancy. We have sporty shoes like sneakers for playing and running. We also have pretty shoes like high heels for special events. Then, there are boots for cold days and sandals for hot days.

When we learn about shoes names, we know what to call each shoe. It’s like learning the names of fruits or animals. Each shoe has its own name. So, shoes are not just shoes. They have special names and types. The more we know about the different types of shoes, the easier it is to pick the right one for what we want to do. There are many shoe types. Here’s a simple list:

Formal Shoes: Shoes for special events or work.

Casual Shoes: Everyday shoes for walking or hanging out.

№ 4. Study the material “Numerals”

Числительное – это часть речи, обозначающая количество или порядок предметов. В английском языке есть два вида числительных, порядковые (ordinal) и количественные (cardinal). Количественные числительные обозначают число предметов (отвечают на вопрос «сколько?»). Порядковые числительные обозначают порядок предметов (отвечают на вопрос «который?»).

1	one	first	22	twenty-two	twenty-second
2	two	second	23	twenty-three	twenty-third
3	three	third	24	twenty-four	twenty-fourth
4	four	fourth	25	twenty-five	twenty-fifth
5	five	fifth	26	twenty-six	twenty-sixth
6	six	sixth	27	twenty-seven	twenty-seventh
7	seven	seventh	28	twenty-eight	twenty-eighth
8	eight	eighth	29	twenty-nine	twenty-ninth
9	nine	ninth	30	thirty	thirtieth
10	ten	tenth	40	forty	fortieth
11	eleven	eleventh	50	fifty	fiftieth
12	twelve	twelfth	60	sixty	sixtieth
13	thirteen	thirteenth	70	seventy	seventieth
14	fourteen	fourteenth	80	eighty	eightieth
15	fifteen	fifteenth	90	ninety	ninetieth
16	sixteen	sixteenth	100	one hundred	hundredth
17	seventeen	seventeenth	500	five hundred	five hundredth
18	eighteen	eighteenth	1000	one thousand	thousandth
19	nineteen	nineteenth	100 000	one hundred thousand	hundred thousandth
20	twenty	twentieth	1 000 000	one million	millionth
21	twenty-one	twenty-first	1 000 000 000	one billion	billionth

Цифра ноль в английском языке в зависимости от контекста может читаться по-разному: zero, o, nil. Ноль произносится как «zero», когда ноль используется в дробях, процентах, телефонных номерах и в определенных выражениях. O (читается, как английская буква o [əu]) – используется в обозначении годов, времени, в адресах, иногда в телефонных номерах. Nil – используется в счете спортивных матчей.

Годы в английском языке обозначаются количественными числительными. Четырехзначные годы при чтении делятся пополам и эти половинки читаются как два отдельных числа: 1825 – eighteen twenty-five

Проценты (percentages) в английском языке обозначаются словом percent (процент). После числительных слово percent никогда не принимает окончание множественного числа -s, так как с французского языка это слово дословно переводится как «из сотни», «на сотню».

Для счета денег в английском языке сначала произносится число, а потом название валюты: $2 – two dollars, €14,99 – fourteen euros ninety nine (cents, euro cents), £204 – two hundred and four pounds

Номера телефонов, счетов, карт и т. д. читают не сотнями-десятками, как на русском, а отдельными цифрами: 555-757-23-11 – five, five, five, seven, five, seven, two, three, one, one.

Простые дроби (fractions) в английском языке часто пишутся словами. Для числителя (numerator) используются количественные числительные, а для знаменателя (denominator) – порядковые. Знаменатель, принимает окончание множественного числа -s, если числитель больше единицы. Пример: 1/5 – one fifth, 4/7 – four sevenths, 2 ¼ - two and one fourth/quarter

Десятичные дроби (decimals) в английском языке читаются с помощью слова point (точка), после которой все цифры читаются отдельно. Это правило не относится к счету денег. Пример: 0.5 – zero point five, 43.75 – forty-three point seventy-five

№5. Write the following years in English:

1943, 2085, 1950, 1812, 1689, 1238, 1909, 1701, 2010, 1004.

№5. Study the material “Ordinal numbers”

Порядковые числительные (ordinal numbers) - отвечают на вопрос «который по счету». Перед всеми порядковыми числительными обязательно ставится определенный артикль the, так как английские порядковые числительные являются определением к конкретному существительному. Они образуются путем добавления суффикса «th» к соответствующему количественному числительному. Исключение составляют такие порядковые числительные как: the first, the second, the third, они образуются не по правилам и их нужно запомнить. В составных порядковых числительных только последний компонент стоит в порядковой форме: twenty-sixth, seventy-fourth. Десятки, оканчивающиеся на y, меняют окончание на ie: forty — fortieth. Чтобы образовать порядковое числительное, к количественному числительному eight мы добавляем только -h. В числительном twelve/ five при добавлении -th буквосочетание -ve меняется на -f.

Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. A report by the Bank of Scotland interviewed over 1,000 young people in Britain and found that 77 per cent get pocket money. They might have to do chores to get their pocket money, helping at home with tasks like cleaning, cooking, washing up, taking out the rubbish and ironing.

Different families give different amounts and the average for eight- to fifteen-year-olds in the UK is about £6 a week. Children in Scotland receive more than the national average and Londoners get the most. Teenagers, logically, get more money than younger children. Some fifteen- to nineteen-year-olds receive more than £100 a month. The report found that many children save at least a quarter of their weekly pocket money and that more boys than girls save their money.

‘I get £80 a month. I have to buy my own clothes with that too.’

Chris, 17, from London

‘I get £5 a week. I get it on Saturday after I clean my bedroom.’

Charlie, 13, from Edinburgh

A part-time job is an option for teenagers who don’t have pocket money or who want to earn extra money. About 15 per cent of teenagers have a job. Only children over 13 can work but there are some exceptions, for example, for actors. Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, delivering newspapers to houses, shop work and restaurant or café work.

There are strict government laws about children working. They can work a maximum of two hours a day on a school day but not during school hours. At weekends and during school holidays, they can work longer hours. As for wages, the national minimum wage for under-18s is around £4 per hour and it increases every year. The minimum wage is higher if you are older.

‘I babysit for my neighbours. Looking after young children in their home when their parents have gone out for the evening is a popular job for teenagers. You get paid for watching children and television all at the same time!’

Sam, 16, from Chesterfield

‘I work in a greengrocer’s shop on Saturday mornings. I get £5 an hour. Not much but it means I can buy new clothes or whatever I want.’

Amber 15, from Aberdeen

In Britain, some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no legal age limit at which you can open a bank account but a bank manager can decide whether to allow a child or young person to open an account. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child’s bank account. Some banks have a prepaid bank card designed for young people. Parents can add pocket money to the card then children can use it to pay for things, without carrying money.

‘It’s good for kids to have a bank account so that they can learn about how to save money and how to be responsible for their own money. I’ve had a bank account for ages.’

Jana, 16, from Canterbury

‘I don’t need a bank account – I keep my money in my piggy bank at home. I’m saving up for some new football boots. My dad says that it’s not the safest place to keep money but at least the bank isn’t making a profit from my money!’

Ruth, 13, from Warwick

So, many teenagers are getting experience of working part-time, dealing with banks and deciding whether to save or spend their money. These are all steps towards becoming a financially independent adult and earning and looking after your own money.

Lesson 6

Teen fashion

№1. Read and translate the text:

There was a time, not long ago, when urban fashion didn’t exist. Fashion meant expensive designer outfits that only the very rich could afford. Think Paris catwalks, Vogue magazine and very uncomfortable shoes. And it was all about women. Even though the outfits were normally designed by men, there was very little interest in menswear. The outfits were very feminine, very expensive and impractical for anything other than walking in a straight line.

All of this has changed. Young people no longer dress like their parents. They wear comfortable, practical and affordable clothes which have probably been designed by somebody young: urban fashion has taken over the world. It began, perhaps, with the hippies of the 1960s, who rejected mainstream society’s values and dress codes with their long hair and scruffy image. Next came the punks of the 1970s, who went one step further with shocking, scary outfits that deliberately offended ordinary people. Even today, if you go to London’s Camden Town at the weekend, there will be plenty of people with lots of tattoos, piercings and chains hanging out of their trousers. This punk-influenced style is all about looking different from everybody else – but exactly the same as your friends. Certainly, by the 90s, high street shops like Gap quickly followed the trends from the streets, and designers like Stella McCartney began to sell street-influenced clothes such as ripped T-shirts for huge amounts of money.

Music has always played a part in urban fashion. Nu-metal fans, for example, as well as wearing Marilyn Manson T-shirts, tend to look different from people who like chart music, and many of today’s pop stars get their ideas from people on the street rather than the other way round. In California, surfers needed comfortable clothing to wear on the beach, and the surf look spread throughout America via companies such as Quiksilver, Stüssy, O’Neill and similar companies that originally produced clothes for sports. But the boom in extreme sports such as skateboarding and snowboarding has influenced urban fashion. Baggy jeans are better if you are wearing inline skates, for example, and hoodies (large comfortable sweatshirts) are influenced by practical snowboarding outfits. Of course there are plenty of people happy to wear the latest sporty urban fashion who never do any sport at all, just as most people who wear trainers rarely go near a sports centre.
