2. Where does Helen say you can`t bargain? A) supermarket b) shops c) markets

3. Which things in the photos would Helen bargain for?

</<font face="Times New Roman, serif">THE ART OF THE BARGAINE

Hello, and welcome to the SHOPPING PROGRAMME! Today we are going to talk about bargains . In the studio we have Helen Cooper, a journalist and every enthusiastic shopper.

• Hello. Most people in Britain don't bargain the things , you know, argue aboit the price of something. We pay the full price in the shop. The only time we probably bargain is when we buy a house or maybe a car. And what about you, Helen? Which of the things here would you bargain for?

• Well, it depends where you are. You can't usually bargain at the supermarket, but sometimes you can buy in shops and markets. For example, if you pay cash or buy a lot of things you can often get a discount. Let me se. Well, I will definitely bargain for a new bike. Mmm.. jewelry. Lovely earrings. Yes , why not? Holidays. Yes sure. You can get a good offer if you bargain, especially for winter holidays. An old record? Yes, you will certainly bargain for this , but you need to know it is valuable.

2) LISTEN TO PART 2. Which of these strategies does Helen use when she bargains?

a) She is friendly but firm

b) She is confident but not aggressive

c) She only says bad things about the products

d) She says she has not got much money

e) If the person says "no", she gets angry

• So how do you bargain, Helen?

• Well, it is very important to be friendly. Friendly, but firm at the same time. It is also important to have confidence to believe that you can get the thing you want. And don`t be aggressive.

• What do you say, Helen?

• Well, it is important to say some good things about the product before talking about the bad things.

• How do you reduce price?

• Well, the best thing is to say that you haven't got much money, which might be true

• What do you do if the person says 'no'?

• I say "It's a pity" very politely and try to find something else.
