- I disagree with the statement. You can pay less for a good product if you wait for a sale.

C Speaker 3. A E is the extra answer. Speaking 2 Possible Answers StudentA: In picture 1 there are two girls in a clothes shop. One of the girls is holding a shirt which is on sale. The price tag says that there is a 50% discount on the shirt. The girls may be talking about the colour and style of the shirt and deciding whether to try it on. In picture 2 there is a couple in a photography shop. They are looking at the different cameras. Perhaps they are talking about the features of the cameras and deciding which camera to buy. The price of the shirt and the way it looks on the girl might affect her decision. The price of the camera, its size and features may affect the couple’s decision. StudentB: I think it’s easier to decide which clothes to buy because clothes are usually not as expensive as a camera. Furthermore, you can try the clothes on in the shop and see if they fit whereas you can’t use the camera before you buy it. StudentB: In picture 3 there is a boy who is shopping online. The boy is holding a credit card so he has probably decided what to buy and is now paying for it. In picture 4 there is a couple in a shoe shop. The man is holding a shoe and they are both looking at it and smiling. Perhaps they think the shoe is ugly and old-fashioned. The advantage of shopping online is that it is convenient. You can sit at home comfortably and do your shopping. You don’t have to go out in the heat or rain, take a bus, find a parking place or wait in a queue. You can save time. You can compare prices on the internet and see pictures of the items before deciding what to buy. The disadvantage is that you don’t actually see the product and the picture may be misleading. In addition, it may not be safe to pay by credit card on the internet. The advantage of going out to shop is that it’s fun to go to the shopping centre and walk around.
