This worksheet is part of a global interview series designed to help students prepare for the Maturita exam by exploring real-life topics in context. In this edition, students meet six speakers from different English-speaking countries (Canada, USA, New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and the Czech Republic) who describe shopping and services in their cities. Each speaker lives in a different urban area, offering contrasting experiences between local shops, online shopping, markets, supermarkets, and customer service. The texts are approximately 250 words long and written at a B1 level.

Each reading includes five comprehension questions and is followed by a vocabulary-building section focused on lexical chunks (useful expressions and fixed phrases) students can use to talk about shopping and services naturally. There's also a gap fill activity to reinforce these phrases in context, and a final pair-speaking task where students ask and answer questions using the new language. At the start of each interview page, students can describe the photo provided for additional speaking practice. This task is ideal for vocabulary expansion, fluency building, and functional language practice tied to real-world topics that commonly appear in oral exams.
