Listening 1.6: Loft living: the new architectural phenomenon
Loft living is a new architectural phenomenon that is becoming popular in
European, American and Asian cities. Lofts first began as industrial areas
that were transformed into spacious living places in city centres. Today,
most lofts are still in city centres, but you can now find them in new, modern
buildings or older buildings that are renovated. There are some loft building
in residential areas far from the hustle and bustle of the city, but most loft
owners enjoy urban living; thats why you can always find lofts in the heart of
the city.
34 stanley publishing Page to print and copy
What makes lofts so popular? Loft owners agree that there are two special
features that make them special space and light. People who buy lofts want a
spacious residence, but they usually do not want the responsibilities that come
with owning a detached house, such as looking after a garden. The other feature
that loft owners appreciate is light. Most lofts have very large windows that often
go up to the ceiling; there arent any dark rooms in these residences, unless
lights are switched off and it is evening!
There are loft buildings all around the world, such as those in Londons
Docklands, or in New Yorks Soho, and they are becoming popular in cities like
Hong Kong or Kuala Lumpur. Loft owners, whether they live in America, Europe
or Asia, are people who want space and have an appreciation for the aesthetics
of the loft.

Listening 4.1: Serious shopping
Last month Gillian and Tracy went on a shopping holiday in New York City.
Fashion Today asked them this question: Why did you go on a shopping
holiday in New York City when you have the finest shops right here in London?
The reason
You can get more clothes for your money than in London. You can also find top
quality clothes that are normally very expensive for a lot less, says Gillian. That
doesnt mean that clothes in New York are cheap, theyre not. Its important to
know where to shop. I know where to shop, because I lived in the New York
area for two years, smiles Tracy.
The method
To be a good shopper its important to compare prices at different shops.
Not all shops are the same. Thats why our first day of shopping is devoted
to window shopping and looking at clothes. We only try on clothes when it is
something on our shopping list. We never buy on the first day, says Gillian.
Secondly, it is equally important to have a clear idea of what youre looking for.
Many people get distracted with items they dont need, comments Tracy. Hand
bags, shoes and accessories are the worst distractions. Make a list and keep to
it. I know a woman who wanted to buy a winter coat and came back with four
pairs of shoes - and no winter coat! laughs Tracy.
The purchase
Tracy and Gillian suggest the following: When you have a clear idea of what
you want, think about the following questions:
1. Is it easy to wash and to look after? Some items are dry-clean only and this
can be very expensive in the long run.
2. Is it something that combines well with your other clothes?
3. And finally, is it the right price or is it too expensive?
I thanked Gillian and Tracy for the interview. With my notes from the interview
still in my hands, I phoned British Airways: Hello, Id like to book a return ticket
to New York City, please.

Listening 4.5
Tracy: I love going to department stores. Theyre larger than boutiques and
they have more to choose from. Its easier to find what youre looking for. I also
like the customer service; the sales assistants are friendlier and more helpful.
Gillian: I love going to boutiques because I enjoy looking at the new styles. Their
clothes are more fashionable than ordinary clothes shops, but at the same
time they are also more expensive.
Tracy: Prices at outlets are lower than department stores, but its not always
easy to find what youre looking for. When you find something, its always
cheaper than any other shop.

Little Red Riding Hood: More Modern in the 21st Century
Little Red Riding Hoods grandmother was not feeling well, so little Red Riding
Hood decided to do the shopping for her. Hmmm, I think my grandmother
would like some fresh 1)bread and some 2)biscuits. So Little Ride Riding
Hood stopped at the 3)bakery and bought some 4)bread and some 5)biscuits,
then she continued on her way. I think my grandmother would like a 6)book
and some 7)magazines to read. So Little Red Riding Hood stopped at the 8)
bookshop and bought a 9)book and some 10)magazines. Little Red Riding
Hood continued on her way and she saw a 11)greengrocers. Just look at, look
at these delicious 12)apples and 13)pears! cried Little Red Riding Hood. Im
going to buy a kilo of each for my grandmother. And she did. Then she passed
a 14)chemists. She thought and thought. I know there is something that my
grandmother needs, but I cant remember what it is. Ah yes, she needs a 15)
toothbrush and some 16)aspirin. So she bought those too. She was ready to
leave when she noticed the chemists big 17)eyes. Mr. Chemist, youve got very
big 18)eyes... All the better to see you with, my dear, the chemist replied. And
Mr. Chemist, youve got very big 19)ears. All the better to hear you with, my
dear. And Mr. Chemist, youve got very big 20)teeth! All the better to eat you
with! But this Little Red Riding Hood was more modern than the one in the
original story. She knew that the Big Bad Wolf liked dressing up as a chemist
and she told two security guards to wait for her outside. They came inside and
the Big Bad Wolf ran away.

My name is Gavin Collins. I have always lived in Dublin, Ireland. My friend
Jack McCarthy emigrated to Boston more than thirty years ago. Jack and I
were best friends and I even thought about emigrating to Boston with Jack,
but I didnt. I decided to stay in Dublin.
Ive worked in a bank in the centre of Dublin since 1975. Ive been married
for twenty-eight years and Ive got twin daughters, Fiona and Alannah, who
are now twenty-four years old.
For ten years Jack and I kept in touch by writing letters, but eventually we
stopped writing.
Ive always wanted to visit Jack, but I havent. Although Im not in touch with
Jack anymore, Ive never stopped thinking about him. I often wonder what
has become of my good friend!
