Next, they went to a sports shop. Tom found the trainers he wanted, but the shop didn't have his size. The assistant said she could order them for him, and they would arrive in three days. Tom was a bit sad, but he agreed.

Before they went home, they had a drink at a café. Leila looked in her bag for the receipt for her coat. She always keeps receipts because sometimes she changes her mind and takes things back. "It's fine," she said with a smile. "I really like this coat. I'm not going to return it."

Notes for teachers

Use this test after a unit on clothes and shopping, or as a quick review before a speaking task such as a shop role-play. It targets common A2 errors: confusing 'wear', 'dress' and 'put on', mixing up 'fit' and 'suit', 'receipt' and 'recipe', and choosing the wrong word form, as in 'looks beautifully'. For follow-up, ask students to write their own short shopping dialogue using at least eight words from the test.
