Working conditions in nineteenthcentury shops would seem hard to us but Sainsburys workers were well looked after. In return, they had to work long hours. In fact, Saturday evening was often the busiest time. After closing, the shop had to be cleaned and tidied and it could be after 2 am before the workers were able to leave. By 1900, Sainsbury’s was importing food from abroad. People have always complained about how much they have to pay for their food, but it is worth noticing that food is much cheaper now, compared to average wages, than it was in 1900.

Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town We all feel Parson's Place is special because we've visited it with our families since we were small children and we still like going there It is a beautiful natural area - the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is a great place for children to play It's very quiet and safe because there are few houses or roads nearby We think that losing this area will be terrible because there are no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood We are also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems How will the people from the new houses travel to work? The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town Therefore, these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere The roads will always be full of traffic, and the tourists who come to see the lovely old buildings will leave Shops and hotels will lose business If the town really needs more homes, the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses But, in our opinion, the average family will quickly be made poorer by this plan, and we will lose a very special place We're going to the local government offices on Monday afternoon to protest about this plan and we hope that the rest of the college will join us there Read the text and questions below For each question, circle the letter next to the correct answer A, B, C or D Why have the students written this letter? A B C D to persuade the government to build new houses to protest about a new motorway near the town to encourage more people in the town to use Parson's Place to inform other people about the builders' plans Why is Parson's Place particularly important, in the students' opinion? A because it is near the football ground B because lots of people live near it C because it is a place near the town where people can enjoy nature D because local people can get there easily by car from the town centre What will cause traffic jams? A building on Parson's Place B building near the railway station C tourists in the narrow streets D people going to the shops and hotels The students say that ordinary people who live in the town will probably soon A open new shops and hotels B choose to live near the station C be able to buy new homes D have less money Which of these posters have the students made? A B C D SAVE OUR SPORTS GROUND SAY NO TO HOUSES ON PARSON'S PLACE WE NEED HOMES NOT HOTELS USE THE TRAIN NOT THE ROAD HOMEWORK I Listening People are calling about show times for movies Listen and write the show times you hear Times 3:40 _ _ _ _ Times _ _ _ _ Times _ _ _ _ Times _ _ _ _ Listen again Write the times The box office opens at The coffee bar is open from to _ The sneak preview begins at The box office closes at _ Listen to people talking about their birthdays Have they had their birthdays yet this year?
