πŸ›‹οΈπŸ“š Perfect English Friday Reading Suggestion πŸŒŸπŸ’œ

Today I'd like to share an interesting article from The Economist which dives deep into how our spending and cultural behaviour changed as a result of the pandemic.

πŸ“ Here are a few useful expressions:

hermit consumer - ΠΏΠΎΡ‚Ρ€Π΅Π±ΠΈΡ‚Π΅Π»ΡŒ-ΠΎΡ‚ΡˆΠ΅Π»ΡŒΠ½ΠΈΠΊ

durables - Ρ‚ΠΎΠ²Π°Ρ€Ρ‹ Π΄Π»ΠΈΡ‚Π΅Π»ΡŒΠ½ΠΎΠ³ΠΎ пользования

glassware - стСклянная посуда 

household utensils - домашняя ΡƒΡ‚Π²Π°Ρ€ΡŒ 

pull people apart - Ρ€Π°Π·Π΄Π΅Π»ΡΡ‚ΡŒ людСй

Have you also experienced this shift in your personal life? Could you relate to any of the trends mentioned in the article?
