WORDS IN CONTEXT
Some time people love to shop. Other can’t bear shopping and only go when their clothes are
completely wom-out, no one can get away from shopping –unless you can do without eating!
Consumption and consumer behavior affects everything we do.

Some purchases are absolutely mandatory. Everyone needs to eat, wear clothing and sit on furniture.
Other purchases are strictly for luxury items. The vast majority of what most of us buy is somewhere in
between essential items and frivolous items.

Most people shop by visiting stores on the weekend. It’s fun to expand the number of place you shop in
by exploring new stores – even if you don’t make a purchase. It’s also comforting to return to stores you
know well, where you know what the merchandise selection is likely to be.

Most shoppers are looking for bargain. some people even check out all the aisles looking to see if the
items they normally use have been marked down. Everyone love finding that their favorite items are
discounted to lower price. A sale makes going to the checkout counter a happier event.

A steadily growing trend is shopping from the comfort of home. Many people like to shop by catalogs
and over the internet. You can get almost everything, from books to apparel, by mail, without having to
leave your home.

Part 7: Reading Comprehension

Designing retail space takes careful planning. Attention should be paid to what research tell us about
consumer behavior. Stores must be designed with the comfort of shoppers in mind. The aisles should be
wide enough to allow shoppers to move through them comfortably. Items should be placed where they
can be easily seen by shoppers. Nothing should be put on high shelves where it cannot be reached.
Pleasant lighting and music also contribute to the comfort and good feeling of shoppers. Shoppers who
feel happy and relaxed will make more purchases.

When organizing the merchandise in a store, the trends of each season should be kept in mind. Picnic
and beach equipment should be prominently displayed in the summer, for example, while warm
clothing should be featured in the winter. Then, shoppers will return to the store because they will see it
as a place that provides what they need.

There should be plenty of checkout aisles so that long lines are avoided. Many people cannot bear long
waits, and long checkout line scare shopper away from stores. Many stores are now using self-service
checkout aisles, although they have not yet been completely accepted by shoppers. They are often
confusing to use, and many shoppers find them impersonal. The old-fashioned human cashier is still
popular in most retail outlets. Therefore, it is still considered mandatory for stores to have at least some
full service checkout lines manned by cashiers.

When I was young, we always had to do without a lot of things that other kids had. We lived on my
dad’s wage, which wasn’t much, but we managed to get by. If we needed anything, we would save up
for it, but there was never very much for luxuries. Then, one day, I was helping my mum clean out my
great-aunt’s attic after she died when we came across my great-aunt’s will!. In it, she had left all her
money to my mum, and my great-aunt had been very rich! We had suddenly come into a fortune! Life
changed after that, I can tell you. We bought a new house and a new car and went on a great holiday to
make up for all the times we hadn’t been able to afford it. They say money isn’t everything, but having
money is a lot more fun than not having it!

G. Europe is heading for a financial crisis, or so some analysts believe. Although we are spending
more money on luxury items and recreation than ever before, it is often more money we have
borrowed from a bank. Banks are willing to lend more and more money to us because they
profit from it by charging us interest. We are spending money that doesn’t really belong to us,
and few of us save much for our old age.
