The two friends (Amy and Lisa, or Lisa and John, or Amy and John) are going to buy a birthday present for the third one. Discuss the problem and choose a piece of clothing for her/him.

(Be on hand to help weaker students if needed. Any answers should be accepted.

Students’ dialogues:

1. Amy and John are talking about a present for Lisa.

– Well, John...It’s hard work to find a present for such an unusual person as Lisa.

– When it comes to fashion, tastes differ. As for Lisa, she always stands out in a crowd.

– That’s quite right. You see...I keep up with all the latest trends and spend too much time and money on them but she usually picks up bargains at the street markets and second - hand shops

and looks fine in any style and colour!

– That’s an idea! Why not go to the second - hand shop?

– You must be joking! It would be awful to give her something used as a birthday present.

– Not at all. She’s creative enough and has a good sense of dress to put things together and feel comfortable.

– In this case she must have a good sense of humour! By the way, I know a high street shop full of trendy but affordable clothes not far from here. Let’s go!

– OK.

2. Lisa and Amy are talking about a present for John.

– Amy, what about a present for John? Any ideas?

– No problem. He’s keen on skateboarding and not bothered about brand names and logos, so...

– So, you mean we should buy him another pair of jeans or, say, a hoodie.

– Sure. His clothes often rips when he falls off his skateboard.

– Well...On the one hand, he sticks to cheaper clothes, on the other hand, he likes being well - dressed. I  suggest buying him a trendy T- shirt made by a top designer for a change.

– We see eye to eye. I’m all for it!

3. John and Lisa are talking about a present for Amy.

– John, what are you doing in the evening?

– Nothing special. Why?

– Don’t you remember about Amy’s birthday? It’s time to buy a present.

– Oh, no.. To choose a present for a girl is always a great problem for me.

– Never mind. You know she keeps up with all the latest trends and we can buy something stylish.

– It’s so easy to be fashionable if you can spend much time and money in the shops!

– Stop grumbling! Lots of top designers make clothes for the cheaper, high street shops. They are full of trendy, affordable clothes.

– That suits me. Let’s hit the shops!
