M: Do you know anything about “showrooming”, Linda?

W: Yeah. Customers visit shops to see and test products before buying them online. 

M: Right. You see, technology is changing the way we shop and it could be very bad for the high street shops.

W: The high street shops? You mean those everyday shops that we normally see in our town centers? Things like shoe shops, supermarkets...

M: Yes, the high street is competing with the Internet.Nowadays I always buy CDs, electronic equipment and food online. 

W: Well, I think the high street shops need to adapt to or make changes.They could try to offer something like discounts or a free gift maybe. 

M: I agree.

　　M:Thank you for coming along to the school to hear about the language courses. Like last year, you'll be able to learn English and Japanese.But this year we've also arranged for there to be courses in Spanish and Russian.You can join a class at whatever level is best for you. When you're wondering if a class would be suitable for you, ring the school secretary and ask to have a word with Miss Thompson. That's T-H-O-M-P-S-O-N. We also have a Miss Thomson without “p” on the staff, but she deals with chemistry. Some classes are held on weekday evenings, and some on Sunday afternoons. The former are 2 hours long, and the weekend ones are 2.5 hours. The courses will be held in the physics building. You'll find it behind the arts studio,you see, if you turn left and left again, as you leave the lecture theatre. If you decide to take one of these courses, you will be allowed to use our school library, which is next to the arts studio.
