F. Getting a refund
1. Do you love to go shopping, but seem to spend all your hard-earned cash on just one or two items? If so, why not consider hunting around for cheaper, second-hand options? With a little time and patience, it’s possible to find some great bargains.
2. People bring unwanted things that they dig out of their attics and garages to a car boot sale. There they sell them or swap them with other traders for something else. Anything from children’s toys to sports equipment can turn up at these sales, which are usually held at weekends.
3. Good second-hand shops can be full of surprises and are often a perfect place to pick up a bargain! Many specialize in certain items such as rare books, designer clothes or antique furniture. Always check things carefully before you buy them as it may be difficult to exchange them or get a refund later.
4. People donate used clothes, shoes, toys and other things to charity shops where you can usually buy them for next to nothing! The money often goes to help people who are hungry, homeless or who live in poor developing countries.
5. There are wonderful places to buy handmade gifts, Christmas decorations and second-hand items. The beauty of these bazaars is that all the money raised usually go to charity, so you can shop till you drop knowing that it’s all for a good cause! The only problem is that they are only held in December.

Where would you like to go for next holiday? Perhaps you might choose to go to the beach or go skiing in the mountains? Or how about a holiday in space? You probably think you’ll never be able to go on holiday in space, but in fact space tourism is already here – if you are extremely rich! If you want to go into space today, it will be very expensive. An eight-day trip to the International Space Station costs about $20 million.
Fifty years ago only the richest people could travel by plane, but now 1.6 billion people fly every year. So perhaps the same thing will happen with space travel. The USA, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia and India are all planning to build ‘space planes’. So, in the future, space travel might be a lot cheaper and easier.
The Japanese company Shimizu Space Systems is already building a space hotel. It will have 64 rooms, each with fantastic view! As well as enjoying the view, you will be able to go for a spacewalk, or have fun in a zero-gravity play room. So start to save money now, if one day you want to have your birthday, or even wedding, in space.

Online shopping is a modern way of buying everything you want from your home. It has become very popular and it seems to be much better to choose clothes, shoes and accessories without spending hours in a shopping centre.
Apart from saving time, you can also find same things online but they often cost less than they do in a mall. However, you may have doubts about the size. Luckily, most online shops give detailed information about sizes and even offer some online assistance.
In addition, when you shop online you may find whatever you need in one clic, even if there are thousands of items on the website. You can use filters and select only those kinds that interest you. You may also choose a colour, a style and sometimes a brand.
Moreover, online shopping gives you the opportunity to be aware of special offers, sales and discounts. Online shops may send you messages or e-mails, thus, you will be able to receive this information any time and any place.
Nevertheless, online shopping has also its weak points that stop many people from online purchasing. You can’t see whether the dress or other thing looks like on the picture on the website, you can’t be sure about the purity of the colour, about the quality of the material, etc.
However, there are many online shops now that let you see and even try clothes and pay afterwards only if the thing fits and suits you. That makes you feel more relaxed and assured.
In a small town in the East there once was a man who had a parrot. The parrot was taught to say the words: "There is no doubt about it." It used to repeat these words all day long. Every time it was asked a question, it gave the same answer. "There is no doubt about it." One day the man decided to sell the bird; so he put the parrot into the cage and went to the market with it. "Twenty pounds for a very clever parrot!" he cried. A man who was passing by heard this and turned to the parrot. "Are you worth twenty pounds?" he asked. "There is no doubt about it!" answered the parrot. "What a clever parrot!" said the man and bought the bird. He took the parrot home and invited his friends to look at the clever bird. The friends came and looked at the parrot and talked to it. Now you must know that the man was not rich. In fact, he was often short of money. So a week or two later, sitting in an armchair and looking at the parrot, he said: "What a fool I was to throw away such a lot of money!" "There is no doubt about it!" cried the parrot» And this time the bird was right.
