GETTING STARTED: MY FAVOURITE SHOPPING PLACE
Mai: How was your trip to Bac Ha, Alice?
Alice: It's awesome. I like Bac Ha Fair most. It's an open-air market in Lao Cai.
Mai: What do you like about it?
Alice: Many things. The people at the market were wearing really colourful costumes.
Mai: Yeah ... They came from different minority groups.
Alice: I think so, and most of the products sold at the market were home-grown and homemade. I love it.
Mai: Do you have similar markets in New Zealand?
Alice: Yes, we do. Back in my city, Auckland, we have a farmers' market every Saturday
where farmers sell their products. My mother loves shopping there, and she rarely misses
one.
Mai: I prefer shopping at the supermarket. I can find almost everything I need there, and I
don't have to bargain. All the items have fixed prices on their price tags.
Alice: Right. It's more convenient.
Mai: Yeah ... Oh, I've got to go. My art lesson starts at one o'clock, and I want to go to a
convenience store on the way. See you later.

Shopping centres attract a lot of customers, especially at the weekend, on holidays, or during
sales. People go there to shop. Shopping centres offer a wide range of products to choose
from. Customers can touch the products and try on clothes and shoes. This makes them feel
more comfortable when they decide to buy something.
However, people also go to shopping centres for many other reasons. Some people go there
for entertainment. These centres often offer year-round free entertainment for customers of
all ages such as live music and special performances. During holidays, shoppers can see
decorations and join in the holiday excitement. It's a good way to relax. Some people go there
just to hang out with friends. They go browsing and chat while wandering through the
shopping malls. Others visit shopping centres to get exercise. They enjoy walking for one or
two hours in clean and well-lit areas. Some people even go there to avoid the heat or cold
outside. Shopping centres offer free air conditioning and heating.

Nếu động từ tận cùng là “e” -> cộng thêm “d”
Ví dụ: type – typed, smile – smiled, agree – agreed
Nếu động từ tận cùng là “y”: Trước “y” là một nguyên âm (a,e,i,o,u) -> cộng thêm “ed”.
Ví dụ: play – played, stay – stayed
Trước “y” là phụ âm (còn lại ) -> đổi “y” thành “i + ed”.
Ví dụ: study – studied, cry – cried
Động từ có một âm tiết, tận cùng là một phụ âm, trước phụ âm là một nguyên âm -> nhân đôi
phụ âm cuối rồi thêm “-ed”.
Ví dụ: stop – stopped, shop – shopped, tap – tapped
Ngoại lệ một số từ không áp dụng quy tắc đó: commit – committed, travel – travelled, prefer
– preferred.
