irls spend more time shopping and

buy more, according to YOU! Our
TEEN! survey asked over a thousand
young people about their shopping habits.
The results showed that:
boys tend to save their money for
one expensive item, such as a pair of
designer jeans or trainers. Girls, on the
other hand, buy several cheaper items,
which they can mix and match with
their other clothes.

boys often check out the thing they

want to buy in magazines or on the
internet, and only go to a shop once
they have decided exactly what
they want. For most girls, however,
shopping is very enjoyable. Many girls
said that their favourite activity was a
weekly shopping trip with their friends,
even if they didnt buy anything.

1 The brothers Lyman and Joseph called their first shop Bloomingdales.

3 The brothers moved their shop because business was bad on the old site.
4 From its earliest days, Bloomingdales attracted customers with a lot of money.
5 People had to visit Bloomingdales to find out what they sold.
6 Lyman organised special events for the public at Bloomingdales.
7 Bloomingdales designer shopping bags can be worth a lot of money.
8 The store began to attract younger customers in the 1970s.
9 Bloomingdale stores can be found in many countries around the world.

Bloomingdales

store history

When the Bloomingdale brothers started doing business in New York City in 1872, clothes shops usually
sold just one thing. But brothers Lyman and Josephs new shop, known as the Great East Side Bazaar, carried
a variety of items such as gloves, hats, skirts and underwear. It was the beginning of what would become a
department store.
The shop was very successful and, in 1886, the brothers relocated to 59th Street and Lexington Avenue.
This area of town was home to many wealthy people and, of course, to their servants. It was to this group
of workers not their employers that Bloomingdales originally aimed its services.
Bloomingdales was always looking for new ways to bring in customers. Lyman advertised in newspapers
and on posters to let people know about the stores products and prices. He had some interesting ideas
of how to make Bloomingdales more popular. For example, he was one of the first to install elevators, or
sky carriages as he called them. The store also became the venue for fashion shows and other important
occasions, including Woman of the Year 1947.
In the 1960s, Bloomingdales team came up with the first designer shopping bags. Since then many of
these have become collectors items and people pay a great deal for them. By the 1970s, the store was
famous around the world. Even Queen Elizabeth paid a visit. For the first time in its history, it became
fashionable with the under-25s. These days there are 36 Bloomingdales stores in the USA and there are
plans to open more. The first Bloomingdales outside the USA opened in 2010 in Dubai.

U11 Track 2, Activities 7 and 8

Welcome to the Golden Court Shopping Centre.
Well be here until 4 p.m. this afternoon. Its the
biggest shopping centre in the country and there
are hundreds of shops selling everything you
could possibly want. Im just going to tell you a
little bit about the facilities and services that are
available here.
If you need to change foreign money there is a
bank on the first floor, but you can use a card to
get money from any of the cash machines on the
ground floor.
For those of you who dont want to spend all day
shopping, the cinema is on the second floor and is
showing twelve different films today. If you want
to see a film please make sure it finishes before
3.30 p.m. because we must be on the bus by five
to four.
If you want a special souvenir to remember the
trip by, why not have your picture painted? There
are always several artists in the area around the
main entrance. For a head and shoulders painting,
expect to pay around 25 and allow an hour and
a half.
Some of you may want to call your parents, but
I should warn you that it will cost a lot if you use
the pay phone in the shopping centre. Its much
cheaper to go to the internet caf and ask to use
their special service.
For lunch, there are several restaurants and cafs
on the third floor. If you like Italian food, Pronto
Pizzas will give you a discount if you show your
Travel Tours badge.
If anybody gets lost or needs to see me, you can
return here to the information desk. The assistant
will contact me, and Ill come and find you.
OK, I think thats everything. Have fun and Ill see
you all later!
