Bindyu写的关于拯救咖啡店和附近商店的新闻稿被刊登在报纸的头版,然而好的新闻稿不仅仅要文笔好,还有赖于独家的准确的内幕消息。该独家内幕消息是由在建筑公司做设计的Magda提供,经过多方的努力,拯救行动似乎胜利在望了。

Harry (reading): “Campaign to save local shops”.

Bindyu (proudly): Yes, they put my article on the front page of the newspaper.

Harry: “Historic buildings threatened by new development”.

Bindyu: I feel like a real journalist now!

Olivia: It must make a change from writing about interior design.

Bindyu: Oh yes.

Sarah: Lets have a look.

Harry: Great photo as well—look, you can see my banner on the front of the café!

Sarah (reading): “We have discovered that Tonys Café and the shoe shop threatened with 1)demolition are actually historic buildings...” Erm, it was really me and my friend who discovered that,

Bindyu, not you.

Bindyu: Yes, youre right,

but whats important is

2)exclusive information

which shows that the

company building the new flats—who want to demolish the historic buildings to make more space—know they should not demolish the buildings...” Hang on! The building company already know! How did you find that out?

Bindyu (proudly): Its an exclusive! A 3)scoop!

Sarah: But how did you find that information?

Bindyu: Thats a secret!

Olivia: Go on, tell us!

Bindyu: A good journalist never reveals her sources!

Sarah: Go on, tell us!

Bindyu: Magda told me!

(door opens)

Magda: Hello everyone!

Olivia: 4)Talk of the devil.

Magda: Sorry? Devil?

Olivia (laughing): Magda, Im sorry...its just an expression.

Magda: What does it mean?

Olivia: If youre talking about somebody, and then they appear, you say “Talk of the devil.”

Magda: Oh. I see. And why were you talking about me?

Olivia: You gave some important information to Bindyu.

Magda: Well, yes, its true—I did find out some interesting information. Its my new job—I work for that company, you know.

Olivia: Yeah. I was surprised you found that 5)confidential information!

Magda: But I didnt think youd write about it, Bindyu!

Bindyu: Dont worry—I didnt mention your name anywhere! This is good journalism.

Magda: I guess so...but...if my employers find out I gave information to you, I could be in trouble! I might lose my job!

Olivia: Oh no!

Bindyu: Dont worry Magda. No one will know, and our campaign will be successful.

Magda: OK.

Harry: Yeah—you watch—theres no way they can close the café now!

Olivia: I hope youre right.

伦敦著名购物区

牛津街 Oxford Street

牛津街是伦敦重要的购物街,长1.25英里的街道两旁布满了18世纪末期的精美建筑。超过300家的世界品牌店及大型商场云集于此。在街的起点,靠近地铁Marble Arch 站的地方,就能看到时尚前卫的代表 Selfridges百货公司。

Nike Town、Topshop、Gap、H&M;的大型旗舰店,Zara、MNG、Kookai、Next、无印良品等红极一时的大众时尚品牌店,各类服饰都可以在这里找到。除众多的高级品店外,那些面向年轻人的随意轻松风格的店铺也很引人注目,在这里可以了解到伦敦最前卫的时尚风向。

克林顿曾经签名售书的英国连锁书店 Water Stone 也坐落在牛津街上。这条购物街,被誉为“欧洲最繁忙的街道”。当然街上的东西绝对不便宜,因为这里的租金高居世界第三,紧随美国纽约第五大道和香港铜锣湾之后。

邦德街 Bond Street

沿着牛顿街向西走就会看到邦德街,这里是品牌服饰的集中地,各国际品牌在邦德街上都有店面。邦德街有新老之分,老街(Old Bond Street)是Tiffany、Cartier类的珠宝店、名表店还有古董商店,算得上伦敦最昂贵的地方;新街(New Bond Street)是时尚奢侈品的天下。在这里逛街经常看到成群的记者,因为这里是全世界明星的采购站。

摄政街 Regent Street

摄政街是与牛津街中心相垂直的街道,沿街满是琳琅满目的各式店铺。

街道曲折蜿蜒,连接牛津广场(O x f o r d Circus)和皮卡迪利广场(Piccadilly)。世界上最大的玩具店 Wedgwood 和刀叉店 Mappin&JWebb; 都在这条街上,Liberty 百货也在这里。这里许多商店均具英伦风范,你会在街上看到很多中上阶级的英国人,当那些英国绅士打扮的人跟你擦肩而过时,时光好像回到了上世纪初。

这个地区在19世纪时,是皇亲国戚及上流社会的购物街,现在仍然是传统英国人的活动地区。牛津街与摄政街都是伦敦首屈一指的购物街,每年圣诞节前都会举行亮灯仪式,到了新年或是夏季打折时期,更是人满为患、寸步难行。在摄政街南端有一些个性小店,集中了众多新生代设计的作品。

皮卡迪利广场 Piccadilly

皮卡迪利广场是一个古老的购物区,是一些英国历史最悠久的零售商店所在地。其中Fortnum and Mason 是一家优雅的高档商店,以其美味丰盛的食品而闻名遐尔。特色茶和鱼子酱是这里的招牌美食。除食品之外这里还有琳琅满目的男女服饰、化妆品、家具、饰品、皮箱等各种商品,商厦六楼是个不可不去的地方。

杰明街 Jermyn Street

从皮卡迪利街(Piccadilly Street)转进去,就会走进另一个时空。杰明杰街上商店至少都超过一百年,即使有三百年历史的老店也不稀奇。建筑物及店牌都相当古朴,木制的橱窗有点斑驳,透着古意盎然的色泽。这里以定制衬衫店、时装店和首饰店而闻名。同时,在杰明街还有精美的艺术馆和古董商店。

伯灵顿市场街 Burlington Arcade

伯灵顿市场街由新、旧两部分组成。这里聚集了英国乃至世界各地的高级名牌店,作为时髦商店的聚集地也十分有名。
