Second Term English Exam
Class 3ST/M/GE March 2020
PART ONE : READING
Read the text carefully, and then do the activities below:
Are supermarkets designed to persuade us to buy more? When you enter a supermarket, the
manager knows better than you do how you will behave which way you will walk, where you will look,
what will make one want to buy a particular product rather than another. (When customers go into a
shop, they naturally look to their left but move clockwise, towards the right). So supermarket entrances
are usually on the left of the building, and the layout is designed to take shoppers around the store, aisle
after aisle, from left to right. Then shoppers will pay attention to all products.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are displayed near supermarket entrances. This gives the impression
that only healthy food is sold in the shop). Basic foods that everyone buys, like sugar and tea, are not
put near each other. (They are kept in different aisles so customers are taken past other attractive
foods before they find what they want). In this way, shoppers are encouraged to buy products that they
not really need.
People walk quickly through narrow aisle, but they move slowly in wide aisle and give more
attention to the products. One best-selling position for products is at the end of the aisle, because
shoppers slow down to turn into the next aisle. Another is on the shelves at eye level. Supermarkets are
paid by food manufactures to put their products in each of these high-selling places).
Sweets are often placed at children’s eye level at the checkout. While parents are waiting to pay,
children reach for the sweets and put them in the trolley.
