Optional activity
Write this question on the board:

in which they could become more responsible
shoppers. Refer to the list each week and ask
students to evaluate how well they have succeeded
in becoming more responsible shoppers.

• Many of the clothes shown on the catwalk are too
impractical and outrageous to wear every day.
• Designer clothes aren’t usually cheap enough for
most people.
• They’re so cheap that people consider them to be
disposable.
• This is such an innovative dress.
Passive: past, present and future
• Several times a year, exciting new collections of
clothes are shown at fashion shows.
• Most of the clothes won’t be bought by the average
British shopper.
• A small number of items were also sold at markets.
Revise the grammar points by asking the following
questions: Why don’t people wear the clothes
shown on the catwalk? Remind students that we
use too in front of an adjective and enough after
an adjective. Ask: Why do people consider some
clothes to be disposable? How can you describe
the dress made from shirt collars? Point out the
use of so before an adjective and such before an
adjective and a noun. Ask: What happens several
times a year at fashion shows? Will the clothes be
bought by the average British shopper? Where
were the first clothes by Junky Styling sold? Explain
that we form the past, present and future passive
with the subject + the past, present or future form
of be + past participle. Highlight the negative past,
present and future form of be to make a negative
passive. Point out that we use the preposition by
when we mention the agent.
6 Rewrite the sentences using the word in

need to think carefully about the position of the

started 4 aren’t used 5 are paid 6 is considered
