Today, my classmates and I went to
interview some native speakers to the busiest street named "University
Way" better known as "The Ave". We went with the teacher until
that place and, later, we made pairs. My partner, for this task, was Gabby.
We went through The Ave and interviewed some
sellers. Some of them were really polite, but some were really busy that were
not able to answer any question. We had success with three different stores: a
barbershop, the Husky shop and a sports store.
We asked several questions. First, their
names: Kirk (barbershop), Cari (Husky Store) and Kisha (Sports Center). The
second question was the opening and closing hours. They specified all of them
and I could notice that on weekdays the service is quiet the same hour, around
9 a.m. The closing hour on weekdays is around 8 p.m. The last question was
about the item they sell the most and its price; Kirk mentioned that he offers
the service and the cost of it is $17 and that he didn’t like to cut children’s
hair; in the Husky Store, they sell the face tattoo very often for only $2.95; finally,
in the sports center shop they sell a lot the water bottle because they have a
wide price-variety.
I really enjoyed the activity because some
of them were really polite and accessible to answer our questions even though
they were busy.
I enjoyed reading all your experience about The Ave, which by the way was really nice and well described.
