The two friends (Amy and Lisa, or Lisa and John, or Amy and
John) are going to buy a birthday present for the third one.
Make a short dialogue in pairs and discuss the problem and
choose a piece of clothing for her/him..
A: Amy, what about a present for John? Any ideas?
B: No problem. He’s keen on skateboarding and not bothered about brand names and logos,
so...
A: So, you mean we should buy him another pair of jeans or, say, a hoodie.
B: Sure. His clothes often rips when he falls off his skateboard.
A: Well...On the one hand, he sticks to cheaper clothes, on the other hand, he likes being well dressed. I suggest buying him a trendy T- shirt made by a top designer for a change.
B: We see eye to eye. I’m all for it!
