Aptis reading Test: General Tips and Strategies

Speaker B
I have to admit, I am a bit of a shopaholic, particularly when it comes 
to houseware and decorations. I always intend on just browsing through 
the shop, but the next thing I know, I am picking up several things on a 
whim! At least these things are usually second-hand or on sale, so I am 
not blowing all of my money! My husband can’t stand this. He is a very 
practical shopper who puts a lot of thought and research into his 
purchases. I guess we can say that we are totally opposites in that 
aspect. 
Speaker C
I don’t usually have time to shop as much as I would like, given my 
busy work schedule, but I must admit that I am not very keen on using 
the internet to make purchases. I have heard horror stories about credit 
card fraud and packages seem to go missing all the time. Of course, I’ll 
order things if I have to, or if I see a much better price than in store, but 
if I had the means, I would almost certainly always shop in store. 
Speaker D
Being a university student has really changed how I shop. I used to be 

---

known as fashionista, always wearing the latest trends and having new 
clothing. I just can’t afford that lifestyle anymore. However, I have 
found great success in shopping the sales, you know, just after 
Christmas, or in summer, when everything is heavily discounted. By 
only venturing to the mall during these times, I have found that I am 
able to get a real bang for a buck and I come out with more clothing for 
less money than I would have spent buying these items throughout the 
year.
