The teacher can hold up pictures of the items and ask the students to name them in English. The teacher can also write the words on the board and have the students say them out loud. This will help to ensure that everyone is familiar with the vocabulary before moving on to the next activity.Activity 2: Role-playNext, the teacher can divide the class into pairs or groups and have them do a role-play exercise. One student will play the role of a shopkeeper, while the other(s) will play the role of a customer(s). The shopkeeper should have a variety of items for sale, such as shirts, sweaters, jackets, pants, skirts, and dresses.The customers should ask the shopkeeper about the colors and sizes of the items they are interested in. For example:•Customer: Excuse me, do you have this shirt in blue?•Shopkeeper: Yes, we do. What size do you need?•Customer: I need a medium.After the customers have selected the items they want to buy, they should ask the shopkeeper if they can get a discount. For example:•Customer: Can I get a discount if I buy two shirts?•Shopkeeper: Yes, we can give you a 10% discount if you buy two shirts.Finally, the customers should count out the money they need to pay for their items. The teacher can provide fake money for the students to use. For example:•Customer: I want to buy this shirt and this sweater. How much is it?•Shopkeeper: The shirt is 50 yuan and the sweater is 80 yuan.•Customer: Okay, here’s 130 yuan.Activity 3: Reading and WritingTo reinforce the vocabulary and grammar learned in the lesson, the teacher can have the students read a short dialogue about shopping and then answer some questions about it. The dialogue could go somethinglike this:Shopkeeper: Hello, can I help you? Customer: Yes, I want to buy a dress. Shopkeeper: What color and size do you want? Customer: I want a red dress in size medium. Shopkeeper: Okay, we have one in the back. Would you like to try it on? Customer: Yes, please. (…after trying on the dress…) Customer: This dress is nice. How much is it? Shopkeeper:It’s 100 yuan. Customer: Can I get a discount if I buy two dresses? Shopkeeper: Yes, we can give you a 20% discount if you buy two dresses. Customer: Okay, I’ll take two dresses. Here’s 160 yuan. Shopkeeper: Thank you. Have a nice day!After reading the dialogue, the students can answer questions such as:•What did the customer want to buy?•What color and size did she want?•Did she try on the dress?•How much did the dress cost?•Did the customer get a discount?•How much money did she pay?The teacher can also have the students practice writing their own dialogues, using the vocabulary and grammar they have learned in the lesson.ConclusionBy the end of this lesson, students should be able to communicate with shopkeepers and buy items in a shop on their own, using English. They will have learned how to ask for colors and sizes, how to ask for discounts, and how to count money. These are important skills to have if they ever travel to an English-speaking country or if they encounter an English-speaking shopkeeper in their own country.。
