Exercise 2 page 101^

(Possible answers)

The escalators to move shoppers between the floors are

at two ends of a mall, forcing people to walk past all the

shops on a floor. Glass safety barriers on the first floor allow

consumers to easily see the shops above and below them.

Open shop fronts, with their big glass windows removed,

make it easier for people to enter them. Huge glass ceilings

to let in as much natural light as possible and the use of

artificial light makes shoppers unaware of the passing of

time. Holding different events every week and local festivals

in the space inside the mall brings in more people.

A Well, both, really! Why would you go and stay with a
stranger, and why would you have a stranger stay with you?
B o be nice? People are generally nice, you know. If you T
look on the website, the hosts are undeniably friendly
people who like company and meeting new people.
A Hmm, OK. And they really don’t want any money for it?
B No, they do it out of the goodness of their hearts. In
fact, the website’s strapline is ‘Changing the world, one
couch at a time.’ Isn’t that nice?
A No, it isn’t. It’s a terrible strapline. And a bit of an
exaggeration! It’s not like couch-surfing is ending global
warming or world poverty, is it?
3 Interviewer Welcome to Money Concerns, the programme
that deals with money issues. Today we’re looking
at moneyless issues, namely the online organisation
‘Streetbank’. Our resident economist today is Patrick
Barlow. Patrick, can you explain to us what Streetbank is?
Patrick Streetbank was set up by two friends in London as an
online community project. It is a website that allows people
to offer skills or items to others in their neighbourhood.
Interviewer n their neighbourhood? Do they really need I
to go online to talk to their neighbours?
Patrick Well, actually, yes they do – especially in places like
London where a lot of people live in the same space, but
without actually knowing anybody else. As Sam Stephens, one
of the co-founders, says, the idea is to ‘bring neighbourhoods
closer together and make the world a little bit nicer’.
Interviewer That’s certainly a splendid ambition. How does
it work in reality?
Patrick t’s similar to Freecycle, the website where people I
post things online that they want to give away. But here,
people also offer things they can do for other people, like
gardening, dog walking, computer lessons, all sorts of
things. And more importantly, people can go online to ask
a favour – to borrow a vacuum cleaner or a lawnmower,
ask for help with moving, anything really.
Interviewer So what’s the catch?
Patrick Oh, only a cynical, suspicious person would ask
that! In my opinion, there is no catch. It doesn’t cost you
anything! As the website says, people helping each other
saves money and makes the world a better place. Even as
an economist, I agree with those principles!
