READING
1 Read a student’s review of a shopping event and tick () A, B, or C.
My free shopping trip
Have you ever been to a shop and bought a dress that was too small or some shoes
that were too uncomfortable? I have. Have you ever bought clothes online and then
never worn them? Yes, me too. In fact, although my wardrobe is full I usually wear the
same trousers and jumpers every week. I think most of my friends have the same
problem.
Now imagine a clothes store with no check out and no prices! Last weekend, I went to
a store like that. It was a ‘Clothes swap’ at my college. Here’s how it works. You bring
clothes that are nearly new which you don’t want any more. Then you swap with
other people. I took twelve items to the ‘Clothes swap’. When I arrived at about 9.30,
it was already busy. One of the student organizers checked that my items were clean
and nearly new. Then she gave me twelve labels – one label for each of my items –
which I could swap for new clothes.
There were changing rooms and mirrors, so I tried on a few things. I wanted a blue
party dress but there wasn’t anything blue in my size. I decided not to look at the
shoes at all. (I don’t need more shoes!) Instead, I tried on a cute black skirt and smart
white shirt. They were perfect. By lunchtime, I still had ten labels but it was time to
go. Although I swapped just two items for my original twelve – I was happy.
The ‘Clothes swap’ was a lot of fun. My wardrobe and my bedroom are tidier.
Swapping is also good for the planet because it is a kind of recycling. The clothes I
brought home are not new, but they feel new to me. I think swap events are
something that everyone can enjoy. Happy swapping – and don’t go shopping!
