SCRIPT：
For shopaholics，the post—Christmas period means only one thing — sales. Across the country，prices are slashed on clothing，electronics，home furnishings and more。

But London is the place for serious shopping，and you can certainly pick up some amazing bargains. The sales start on Boxing Day, 26th December and continue for the month of January, but the keenest bargain hunters get there early to be first through the doors. In Oxford Street, queues formed outside shops ahead of predawn openings for the start of the sales. At Brentcross in north London, more than 1，000 people were queuing at 3:30 a。

m。

for the next clothing store sale which began at 4 a.m. Some people even camped
outside the shops to be the first in the line. Some people are taking their friends shopping with them and buying their Christmas presents in the sales — a practical but an unromantic way of making sure you get the gift you really want。

For a less exciting but less stressful shopping
experience, online retailers are also getting in on the act with January sales of their own。

The most organized of all are those who are already doing their present shopping for the next Christmas in the January sales.

SCRIPT：
Recently，a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their baby son "4real”. Even though New Zealand has quite liberal rules about naming children, names beginning with a number are not allowed。

They decided to call him ”Superman" instead.
In many countries around the world, unusual names for children are becoming more popular，especially since the increasing trend for celebrities to give their children unusual names。

Some parents choose names, which come from popular culture. For example，there have been 6 boys named ”Gandalf” after the character in the Lord of the Rings, novels and films。

Equally，names related to sports are fairly common. Since 1984, 36 children have been called ”Arsenal” after the football team. Other parents like to make up names or combine names to make their own unique version。

A method demonstrated by Jordan, the British model，who recently invented the name ”Theamy” for her daughter by combining the names Thea and Amy （the two grandmothers)。

She was quoted as saying that the accent and double letters were added to make the name ”more exotic".
Other countries have much stricter rules when it comes to naming children. Countries including Japan，Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have an approved list of names from which parents must choose。
