Hi guys,
I wonder if you know the answers to the following questions:

1) What is a zebra crossing?
2) Is there such a thing as a tiger crossing?
3) What can you buy at a stationery?
4) Which Harrods department sells oven gloves?
5) What are totes?

I'll be expecting your answer!

  7. Well, after researching on the Internet, I found the answers...

    1) As Santi wrote, a zebra crossing is where we must walk when we want to go from a corner to another.
    2) A tiger crossing is a variation of the zebra crossing used in the UK and other places around the world (like Hong Kong or Switzerland). It's painted yellow and black. It allows cyclists to cross the road, and motorists must give way to cyclists or pedestrians.
    3)Well, Santi answered this question before.
    4) Very difficult question... I've found that Harrods is celebrating the heritage and tradition of their "Knightsbridge" store with a series of classic and contemporary designs. The range includes Harrods exclusive bags, accessories, stationery and, of course, oven gloves. Each piece is made from the highest quality materials and bears the Harrods logo.
    5) A tote, as Erika said, is a large handheld bag that is used to carry things, such as books, beach wear, or everyday items. Several supermarkets offer reusable bags, often made of cotton, as an alternative to paper or plastic shopping bags.

    See you :)

  18. 1) What is a zebra crossing?
    It's a kind of pedestrian crossing zone, where the 'crossing lines' are white and black stripes on the road.
    2) Is there such a thing as a tiger crossing?
    It's a a variation of the Zebra Crossing, but the crossing lines are yellow and black instead of white and black. Furthermore, It allows not only pedestrians to cross but cyclists too.
    3) What can you buy at a stationery?
    You can buy notecards, paper and envelopes from different parts of the world, or in many colours. You can also buy pencils, pens, glue, rubbers and that sort of things.
    4) Which Harrods department sells oven gloves?
    I couldn't find in which department (I think in London), but I know they sell oven gloves online (http://www.harrods.com/product/harrods/westie-oven-mitt/000000000000174198?cat1=HOL&cat2=souvenirs-kitchen-accessories)
    5) What are totes?
    They're handheld bags (tote means 'to carry').
