Answer each question with at least 3-5 sentences. 1. If you could open your own shop, what would you sell?

If I could open my own shop, I would sell comfortable sports shoes and clothes. I would choose this because many young people need affordable clothes for sport and everyday wear. I would also offer friendly advice and help customers find the right size. My shop would be small but popular with local teenagers and families.

My perfect shopping centre would be bright, clean and easy to move around. It would have a mix of affordable shops, a food court, comfortable rest areas and a cinema. I would also like free Wi-Fi, clearly marked toilets and places where parents can leave prams. Security and good lighting would make the centre safe for everyone.

A world where everything is free sounds attractive at first, but I would not want to live there. Free products could make people wasteful and reduce the motivation to work. Businesses would need support to survive, and governments might have to raise taxes. I think it is better when essential services are affordable, but people still value what they receive.

Online shopping is convenient because I can compare prices, read reviews and order at any time. It also saves travel time and offers products that may not be available locally. However, I cannot try clothes on, and delivery can be slow or expensive. Online shopping also creates more packaging waste, so I try to buy only what I really need.

I would buy a reliable laptop without worrying about the price. I need a good computer for schoolwork, research and learning new skills. A high-quality laptop would last for several years and help me study more effectively. I would choose a practical model rather than a luxury item because usefulness matters most to me.

I would spend the £50 mainly on clothes and a meal. I would buy a pair of jeans for about £25 and a T-shirt for £15. Then I would pay about £7 for lunch and £3 for the bus home. I would compare prices first so that I could use the whole amount sensibly.

I bought a new pair of trainers, but after two days the sole started to come off. I was disappointed because I had paid for them and expected them to last much longer. I took them back to the shop with the receipt and explained what had happened. The manager apologized and gave me a new pair, and I checked the stitching carefully before leaving.

As a shop assistant, I arrive early, turn on the lights and make sure the displays are tidy. During the morning I greet customers, answer questions and help them find the right size. At lunchtime I check stock and put returned items back on the shelves. In the afternoon I serve customers, clean the counter and count the money before closing the shop.
