ВВЕДЕНИЕ

Современная концепция языкового образования в образовательных учреждениях СПО нацелена на профессионально-ориентированное обучение иностранного языка. Конкурентоспособность современного специалиста определяется не только его высокой квалификацией в профессиональной сфере, но и готовностью решать профессиональные задачи в условиях иноязычной коммуникации. В связи с этим Государственный образовательный стандарт СПО требует учета профессиональной специфики при изучении иностранного языка, его нацеленности на реализацию задач будущей профессиональной деятельности выпускников.

Пособие состоит из 2 разделов: Магазины и покупки. Права потребителей,     Деньги экономические отношения.

Каждый раздел содержит глоссарий профессиональных терминов, тексты, иллюстрирующие употребление лексики; тренировочные и контрольные упражнения, направленные на достижение автоматизации речевых навыков; универсальные стандартные фразы, диалоги, используемыев сферах профессиональной коммуникации.

Тематические тесты позволяют студентам самостоятельно проконтролировать уровень усвоения учебного материала.

Дополнительные тексты для чтения помогут расширить профессиональный лексический запас студентов по изучаемым темам.

Контекст учебных материалов соответствует контексту специальности, что способствует повышению мотивации к изучению профессионального иностранного языка.

Shops and shopping

Shops play an important role in our life. People cannot do without them. When people want to buy something, they go to shops where various goods are sold. Through the shop-window we can see what is sold in this or that shop.

At the grocer's you can buy sugar, tea, coffee, salt, pepper, ham, bacon, sausages, frankfurters and so on. Bread is sold at the baker's, meat at the butcher's. We go to the greengrocer's for vegetables and fruit. Cakes and sweets are sold at the confectioner's. When we want to buy clothes we go to men's and ladies clothes shop. We buy boots and shoes at the footwear shop. We buy jewelry at the jeweler's. We buy books at the bookseller's.

A salesman, salesgirl or saleswoman usually stands behind the counter. The cashier sits at the cash desk. The salesman or salesgirl weighs the goods, which are not packed on the scales, and tells the price. People who often come to buy different things in the shop are called customers.

Some shops may have many departments. These shops are called department stores or supermarkets. Supermarkets are self-service stores with departments for different food products. Supermarkets sell thousands of food products: meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, canned groceries, bakery items, delicatessen items, and frozen food. Some supermarkets also have seafood and alcohol. In some supermarkets you can also buy household goods. The supermarkets are located in shopping centers or malls and along main roads. Supermarkets are popular because they save time, have low prices and variety of products in one place. There you can buy almost everything you need.

SHOPPING ON THE INTERNET

1. You are going to read a newspaper article about shopping on the Internet. Choose the best heading from the list (A-G) for each part (1-4) of the text and write its letter in the box. There are two extra headings that you do not need to use.

Shopping on the Internet

0  Shopping on the Internet, or shopping on-line is becoming more and more popular. More and more people are using the Internet to buy things. Why do people use the Internet to shop?

1  Some people say it is more convenient. They don't have to leave their homes to order something, and they can shop for anything they want at any time, day or night. Other people say they can find things for sale that they can't find in the stores near their homes. Still other people say they can find better prices on the Internet.

2  If you want to buy something on the Internet, you need a credit card. You have to type your credit card number and some other information on the website and send it to the store over the Internet. You have to be sure that the store will not use your information in the wrong way. You don't want someone to get your credit card number and charge something to your account. Of course, you always have to be careful with your credit card number, because people sometimes steal credit card numbers from stores and restaurants too.

3  For people who are too nervous to shop on-line, the Internet is a good place to go window-shopping. Window-shopping is when you go to a store and look at the things for sale, but don't plan to buy anything. Window-shopping is easy on the Internet. You can see what kinds of products are available and how much they cost. You can visit stores with branches near you, or you can visit stores that are only on the Internet.

4  Some stores have a website for information about their stores, but not for shopping. Some stores have a website for information about their stores, and you can shop on-line there too. Some stores are only for on-line shopping.

b) Read the text below and decide if the statements given after it are true or false.

Have you ever wondered why some stores smell of fresh bread or why some play music and others don't? We asked the experts at 'SuperMarketing' magazine to explain some of the hidden tricks of the trade.

Question 1. "Why are the fresh fruit and vegetables usually at the entrance to the store? It's always crowded, and they get squashed if I have to load heavy cans and packets on top."

Answer. It's simply because supermarkets make a high profit on fresh fruit and vegetables and they have discovered they sell more of them if they're near the entrance. According to research carried out by supermarkets, customers prefer fresh goods to come first. Maybe it's because many of us arrive at the store concentrating on the kinds of fruit and vegetable we need. Once we've got that out of the way we can relax and do the rest of the shopping at leisure. Another reason is that if we see fresh goods first, the sight and smell of all those rosy apples and glossy aubergines give a "feel good" impression of freshness and quality which we carry around the store. Nowadays, trolleys should have a separate compartment where you can place fruit and vegetables so they don't get squashed.

Question 2. "Do they have to pipe smells of freshly baked bread around stores? I always end up buying an extra loaf or a cake because the smell is just so tempting.

Answer. That's what the store is counting on! It's well-known in the retail food industry that smell is the most powerful of human senses when it comes to influencing our choice of where we shop and what we buy. For years, some stores have been piping smells of freshly baked bread and real coffee through the air-conditioning to get appetites going. But this may be counterproductive, retail consultants point out: "If you are doing your shopping at lunch or dinner time when yon are already hungry, the smell of baking may send you straight to the bread counter and then out of the store so you can eat quickly."

Question 3. "Why is it that supermarkets change their layout so often? Just when I have speeded up my shopping by knowing where everything is, they move the section!"

Answer. This is another way of trying to make you buy things you thought you didn't need. Supermarkets make most of their money out of fresh foods and "luxury" snacks and far less on essentials like milk, sugar and bread. So everyday items are scattered around the store because in order to get them, you have to pass the "high earners" and, hopefully, suddenly decide to buy some. The eye-catching display on the unit at the end of a row does not necessarily mean that the goods are the bargain of the week, as you may think. Manufacturers sometimes pay the supermarket to put their brands in the best positions. Among the best are the places across the ends of units where customer traffic is very high.

Question 4. "Why does my supermarket have to play music all the time? It drives me mad and I can't avoid it since it's the only store I can reach conveniently."

Answer. This may be an attempt to please customers – so they will enjoy shopping more or a way of projecting an image. One supermarket plays 1960s music to go with its decor. Another sets out simply to please - playing 1950s and 1960s music in the morning when old customers do most of their shopping and pop music in the evenings and on Saturdays for a younger audience, and music that appeals to the whole family on a Sunday. Some stores use music to increase their profits by playing slow waltzes or light classics on quiet days like Mondays, to keep customers browsing and buying. At busier times like Saturdays, they'll increase the tempo to encourage customers to move quickly through the store. A recent supermarket study reported a 38% increase in sales when the store played slow music compared to fast. However, you can shop in silence at some supermarkets, which never play music – their customers say it puts them off.

Question 5. "Why do I always choose the queue that moves the slowest?"

Answer. Perhaps you're too considerate! For example, don't think the wider checkouts marked "disabled" are exclusively for wheelchairs. If there are no wheelchair customers waiting, anyone is welcome to use them. And if you're in a real hurry, avoid the check assistant wearing a 'trainee' badge - a sign of possible delay. Checkouts could become a thing of the past anyway. One supermarket is testing a hand-held unit which customers use themselves as they shop. It reads and records the prices of groceries and then totals the bill... but you still have to pay before you leave.

Are you Aware of all these Tricks?

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of psychological and eye-deceiving tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf. Colouring, for example, varies according to what the manufacturers are trying to sell. Most cosmetics are packaged in delicate pastel colours such as pink. Health foods come in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue because we identify that as a cool colour; and luxury goods, like expensive chocolates, are invariably gold or silver.

When a brand of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that pastel colours turned the customer off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package – blue because we associate it with safety, and white for calmness.

The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a jar or bottle doesn't contain as much as it appears to. Recently a cosmetics company was successfully prosecuted for marketing a jar of make-up which gave the impression it contained far more than it actually did.

All the research behind the wording and presentation of packaging is obviously expensive, and there are no prizes for guessing that it is the customer who foots the bill. However, there are signs of revolution against fancy packaging: The Body Shop, for instance, sells its products in containers with handwritten labels. These bottles are practical as well as cost-effective and can be used again.

It is estimated that the more established cosmetics companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!

The most successful manufacturers know that it's not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years have used enchanting little girls to promote their goods, summed it up. "Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it," he said.

 

5. Answer the questions below:

1. Do you use any cosmetics? If yes, what kinds? What are your favourite brands?

2. Describe the packaging of the soap you usually use. What colour is it? What patterns or drawings has it got?

3. What is your favourite ice-cream? What colour is its packaging?

4. When you are buying some product what do you first pay attention to: its colour, size or label?

5. Do you usually keep or throw away empty containers if you like their design or colour? If you keep them, what for?

6. How much does the packaging influence your choice in buying some products?

7. Is your attitude to advertising positive or negative? Explain why.

 

CONSUMER RIGHTS

2. Read about the consumer rights in the EU and make your own report on this topic in our country.

Consumer rights

In their role as consumers, ordinary EU citizens are key players in the Union's new frontier-free single market. The Union has in fact incorporated as the basis of its consumer policy, the protection of the five fundamental rights which lie at the heart of national policies. These are:

1. The protection of consumers' health and safety

Only products which will not endanger health or safety may be put on the market. This means setting safety requirements, providing full information about potential risks, protecting consumers against physical injury.

2. The protection of consumers' economic interests

There is for example a general ban on misleading advertising and unfair terms in contracts with consumers.

3. Consumer rights to information and education

Consumers need to be put in a position where they can make an informed choice among goods and services offered. This includes objective information on the features and price of the items available. Consumers also require proper information about their efficient and safe use.

4. The right to redress
