A: Me and a few of my friends belong to a movie club. It’s really amazing. And Jennifer and I came up with the idea of Cinema Day a couple of weeks ago. Last Friday, we asked our class tutor if we could organize the event and he agreed.

B: Wow, that’s great. What’s in the event programme?

A: Cinema Day will take place on the 25^th of March. It’s a Friday. It’s going to start at 4 p.m., after our lessons. There will be three screenings at the same time, three different movies, so that everyone can choose what they’d like to watch. The films will finish around 6-6:30 p.m., and then there’ll be a discussion, or rather discussions about those three movies.

B: And what do you need to do to organise the event? Are any teachers involved, too?

A: Jennifer and I will conduct surveys in all forms to find out what films students would like to see and discuss. And the top three will be shown. We will also arrange everything in the classrooms, put aside the desks and suchlike. Each person who wants to take part in the event should bring something to drink, and if they want to, some snacks. Three teachers agreed to supervise the event, one in each classroom.

B: Would you like me to help you with the preparations?

A: Thank you, I’d be grateful. Each pair of hands is needed. The more people will come to help us, the faster we’ll have the job done.

In the picture, I can see a family, probably: mum, dad and daughter. They’re casually dressed. They’re wearing jeans, some blouses and trainers. They’re in a shopping centre, doing the shopping. They already have quite a lot of bags with the things they bought. They seem to enjoy shopping, because they’re all smiling. They’re looking at something on their right side, maybe a shop or something else caught their attention. In the background, I can see a red-and-white piece of decoration, which looks like a candy cane, so it may be Christmas season. They may be buying Christmas gifts for their friends and other family members.

1. How often do you go grocery shopping? If you don’t, then who buys groceries in your family?

I buy groceries once or twice a week. This is my job. Sometimes mom helps me, but mostly I go alone with a mile-long shopping list. It usually takes me more than two hours before I buy ever single item on the shopping list. I go to the nearby supermarket by car.

2. What is your opinion about online shopping? Have you got any experience of buying things online?

I’m a little afraid of buying clothes or shoes online because you never know if they’ll fit you or not, and I don’t have the time to send those packages back and forth. So I usually buy only books or electronic devices like headphones online. In general, shopping online makes your life easier. You can find the item you really need. On the other hand, you need to be careful not to fall for a scam. You may always get cheated, that is you pay and they don’t send anything.

3. Tell us about one thing you recently bought online or in a traditional shop. What was it? Why did you buy it?

A few weeks ago, I bought a pair of converse sneakers. I bought the shoes online. I searched the Internet for the model I liked and then I paid for it by BLIK, and after two days I could put the sneakers on. Fortunately, they were a good fit and I didn’t have to send them back.

If I were to go on summer holidays with my friend, I would definitely try to convince them to choose a house by the lake, near a village, next to the forest. For sure, such a place will be peaceful and quiet. No traffic, zero noise. Only the sound of singing birds. And there’s a lot you can do there. You can go cycling, kayaking, swimming in the lake, go for a walk in the forest, and if it’s warm enough and sunny, I’m sure you can even sunbathe. Usually, there is a landing pier, so you can go sailing.

I’d reject the offer of hotel at the beach. Those places are always noisy, kids are running around, and the hotel beach is always crowded. Plus, there are not many attractions for adults in such hotels.

I wouldn’t like to go camping either, because I don’t like sleeping in a tent and having no bathroom or kitchen. This is just too complicated for me. It takes a long time to find a place to take a shower or even brush your teeth.

1. Have you ever gone camping? If not, would you like to?

Yes, I have, but I didn’t like it. I don’t really like nature, and all those insects and bugs which can come to your tent. Plus, if the weather is bad, if it’s rainy, windy or even stormy, you tent can be damaged, it can leak. Even if it doesn’t happen, it’s often loud outside and you can’t sleep. Camping doesn’t seem to be for me.

2. When you go on holiday, which means of transport do you use? Why?

If I go on holiday in Poland, I usually travel by car or by train (if I go with my friends), but if I travel abroad, I always choose a plane. It’s so much faster and more comfortable. The car is expensive but convenient because you can stop whenever you like. On the other hand, you have to drive, and on the train, you can sleep.

3. Could you tell us about your dream holiday? Where would you go? What would you do?

I don’t know, really. I think I’d like to cycle with some friends of mine around the Mediterranean Sea. I’d like to have a lot of time for it. I’d like to stay in different places as long as I wanted. I’d like to meet local people and visit places, and sleep in places that are off the beaten track.

4. What things do you do in your summer holidays that you don’t do otherwise?

I go mushrooming, I learn to play new songs on my guitar, I hunt for insects and spiders and identify them, I read a lot of poetry or I simply do nothing. Yeah, summer holidays are good for all of those, especially for doing nothing. Hunting and identifying bugs really takes a lot of time. You observe, take a picture, study books on insects. I also like improvising during the holiday. I just wake up and wait for ideas to come.
