another English name: the mall

the supermarket while the men browse the
latest gadgets

PLAYING SPORTS
No matter where the game is played,
the language of sport is English

Even if your favourite sport doesn’t involve balls
it’s highly likely that English is somehow part of
it, particularly if you like extreme sport

EATING OUT
If you have a hunger for learning, then
check out some of the menus in food
courts or fast food restaurants
...
Take your pick!
For the health-conscious, there are diet and light
dishes
...

For those on a budget, there
are also self-service
restaurants
...
EF

I’d like to make a reservation, please

Think about what you do in your spare time
...

Maybe you like to sit on your sofa watching
a reality show, or listening to rock or pop
music on the radio whilst flicking through a
fashion magazine featuring top models
...
After all, there’s
so much feedback and
pressure to create new
slogans
...
EF
...
On the other hand, who knows? Maybe you’ve
worked from your home office for a few days
...

When you’re on holiday, even in your own country,
you’ll probably need diesel if you’re going on a
road trip
...
If you decide to
go on a city tour, check out any VIP or premium
offers that might make it more enjoyable
...
EF
...
But if you know someone
who can’t think of a single word in English, then
maybe they’re suffering a blackout and might
need a checkup
