Unit 2: Shopping


Ss will have already learned the basic phonetic rules in Chinese and had

practiced with tones and numbers. Therefore, Ss will have the abilities to learn and

comprehend the basic shopping expressions to be introduced in the lesson.

As part of the previous weeks discussion, Ss have chosen the two recipes thatthey are interested in using for this weeks cultural component class (the assignment for

which will be discussed as the last activity of this language component class).

Possible problems:

1. Ss may not have bargained before, ss may be over-whelmed my material

2. Ss may not learn and comprehend the expressions as fast as Ts have

expected, which may affect the pace of the lesson.

3. Some Ss may feel overwhelmed of Chinese and therefore get frustrated in

continuing learning the language, since they are still in their 2 nd week of the

course.

4. If the internet doesnt function, the bargaining video clip cant be shown.

Contingency plans:

1) T will show more videos about bargaining and organize a field trip to the market with the

Ss, with a purpose of conveying the idea to Ss that bargaining can be really fun

experience.

2) T will slow down the teaching activity, and put in more guidance in the Comprehension

Check and Role Play activities.

3) T will encourage her through providing emotional support and help outside the

classroom. T can also accompany such Ss in completing the assignment of bargaining

and purchasing.

4) T will load the video clip on her laptop before the class, so that the showing does not

entirely rely on the internet connection.

Unit 2: Shopping


Places That You Can Bargain in Shanghai

The term "market" is flexible, and in Shanghai, it applies to vendors selling virtually the same thing all

under one roof, or in one open section of space. Unlike the Western sense of competition, the Chinese

believe that if you are all selling the same thing, you'll attract more customers. Fair enough.

Indeed, this makes life easy for the shopper. Want pearls? Go to the pearl market. Want fabric? Go to

the fabric market. Want crickets? You guessed it, go to the cricket market. Just remember your

bargaining skills! You'll need them in the markets of Shanghai.

1) Dong Tai Road Antique Market - Description: Be warned, the word "antique" can apply to things made last year.

Address: Dong Tai Road, near Xizang Nan Road

Opening hours: Daily. Morning (in full swing by 9:30-10am) till sundown.

Comments: Dong Tai Road is a lot of fun, especially if you're in the mood to just wander and look

at junk. You'll find every kind of Mao memorabilia to old records, photos, lanterns, porcelain,

chopsticks and knick-knacks. Remember to bargain hard here and have fun treasure hunting.

2)Pearl's Circles, Wholesale Pearl & Stone Market- Description: Wholesale freshwater pearls, sea water pearls, natural stones and crystals.

Address: First Asia Jewelry Plaza, 3rd floor, 288 Fuyou Lu

Opening hours: Daily. 10am-6pm.

Comments: Let fantasy be your guide. For pennies, you can design jewelry to your heart's content.

Every vendor will have loads of ready-made jewelry for you to look over but you can also design

your own. Just wait a few minutes and they'll string everything for you as you watch. Remember the

golden rule: bargain, bargain, bargain!

3) Hong Qiao New World Pearl Market Description: Same type of market as #2, but much bigger.

Address: Hong Mei Road on the corner of Hong Qiao Road

Opening hours: Daily. 10am-10pm.

Comments: The market is a little out of the way for the normal tourist who is staying downtown,

but if you have time (hey, they're open until 10pm), make the trip out. Like Pearl's Circles, vendorshave ready-made items for you to buy, but you can do your own designing. Freshwater pearls are a

real value in China. Read more about buying pearls in China here.

4) Yatai Xinyang Fashion and Gift Market Description: Underground (literally) maze of vendors selling toys, clothing, jewelry and a lot of fake

(read counterfeit brand) bags and watches.
