Speak to five adults in your neighbourhood. Ask them the following questions (in any language they are comfortable in). Then come back and share your findings with the class.
(i) Do they buy their provisions packed in plastic packets at a big store, or loose, from a smaller store near their house?
(ii) Where do they buy their footwear? Do they buy branded footwear, or footwear made locally? What reasons do they have for their preference?
(iii) Do they buy ready-made clothes, or buy cloth and get their clothes stitched by a tailor? Which do they think is better?
(i) All five of them buy their provisions in plastic packets at a big store since they all work five days a week and go to the mall to buy provisions once a month on a Saturday or a Sunday.
(ii) They buy usually branded footwear because it is more durable but they sometimes buy handmade footwear if it is ethnic and pretty.
(iii) They buy both ready-made clothes as well as buy cloth and get their clothes stitched by a tailor. I thinking buying ready-made clothes is better because one can wear it the same day as they buy and do not have to wait to get them stitched to fit.
