Activity E.3. Reading to discuss
I usually go to the supermarket about once or twice a week to buy groceries. Since Ido a lot of shopping, I often need a shopping cart to carry everything. I first stop by thedeli counter to pick up some sliced cheese. Then, I look for some fruits and vegetablesin the produce section, but I make sure they are fresh. My kids like milk, so I swing bythe dairy section and grab a few gallons of milk. Also, there are times when I don'thave much time to cook, so I always pick up some microwaveable meals in the frozenfood section. If the store is out of stock of any of the items I need, then I drop by adifferent supermarket on my way home. I generally pay with cash at the checkoutcounter.
Now form groupsanddiscuss the following questions
1. How much grocery shopping do you do every week?2. How concerned are you about a healthy diet and is your concern reflected in
what you buy?3. What tips can you think of to make sure you are getting the best buy at
supermarkets (e.g., testing the products, using coupons for items, comparingprices at different stores, etc.)

Activity A.1. Reading to DiscussInstructions: Read the text about Judiths free time activities.
In my free time, I really enjoy watching movies with my friends or alone at my
house. In most cases, I drop by a local movie rental shop and rent a few DVDs for
the evening. Before I rent a movie, I usually read some reviews to find out what
critics think about the movie. I recently joined an online movie rental club, and the
company delivers the movies directly to my house. However, if I go to a movie theater,
I try to arrive a few minutes early so I get a good seat. I generally like to watch sciencefiction or classic movies; I can't stand horror movies. I really like movies with a good
story line, great acting, and realistic special effects.
Nowdiscus these questions:
1. What are you going to do in your free time?
2. Would you rather watch a movie at home or go to a movie theater? Give at
least three reasons for your answer.3. What kind of movies will you watch in your free time, why?
