Personal Shoppers
I was shopping with Thomas, who has been working as a personal shopper for the past five years. “Personal shoppers are in great demand these days,” he told me as we were walking past designer clothes shops. 1. He said that there were many people who wanted to be fashionable, but they didn’t know where to start. They needed a professional to advise them.
But why? I always call my best friend to help me find the perfect dress, not a stranger!
“ 2. The first thing I do is help my customer improve their image. I teach them to choose colours and clothes that suit them, and how to use
make______________ up,” Thomas told me. “Then I organize the customer’s wardrobe. 3. The third service has to do with actual shopping: the personal shopper and the customer visit shops and buy clothes according to the customer’s personality, lifestyle and needs.”
Of course, each of the above services costs between 150 and 225 euros! 4. “Most of my customers are rich business people who call me for important meetings or business parties,” explained Thomas. “However, I also work for people in all kinds of jobs and for retired men and women who want a change of look.”
We spent the rest of the day shopping. Every time we came out of a shop, we had one more bag. In the end, I went home with a beautiful dress, two pairs of trousers, some lovely tops and a couple of coats. I’d never had a shopping day like this before! I admit that I’d spent more than I usually do, but I wouldn’t have found such beautiful clothes without Thomas. 5. A．I can help in three different ways． B．I asked him why this had happened．
C．It depends on the customer's preferences． D．I might even throw away some old clothes．
E．I just wish personal shoppers were a bit cheaper! F．People need help with choosing the right clothes．
G．I just wonder how many people have this kind of money to spend．
