    SUBIECTUL al II-lea – READING COMPREHENSION (25 points)

    Read the text below and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).

    Personal shoppers

    ‘Personal shoppers are in great demand these days,’ says Thomas, who has been working as one
    for the past five years. As we were walking past designer clothes shops, I asked him why he thinks this
    has happened. He says that there are many people who want to be fashionable, but they don’t know where
    to start. They need a professional to advise them.
    But why? I always call my best friend to help me find the perfect dress, not a stranger! ‘I can help
    in three different ways. 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 tells me. ‘Then I organise
    the customer’s wardrobe; I might even throw away some old clothes.’ 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! Do many people have
    this kind of money to spend? ‘Most of my customers are rich business people who call me for important
    meetings or business parties,’ explains Thomas. ‘However, I also work for people in all kinds of jobs and
    for retired men and women who want a change of look.’ I was quite impressed, but I still didn’t see why
    ordinary people would need someone like Thomas.
    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

    2
    wouldn’t have found such beautiful clothes without Thomas. I just wish personal shoppers were a bit
    cheaper!
