https://youtu.be/YnZc7CCqXaA







Watch the video and write down all the "offensive expressions" that the saleswoman addresses to the customer………


  • We are not a "plus-size store"

  • anything big enough for you...No offense….

  • "The big girl"

  • You are too big…

  • ….tight….is that really a surprise?

  • Hey, watch it! "Fatty"!

  • …...maybe...if you lost some weight….

  • "The wide load" just made a huge mess…

  • "Plus-size girl"



Could you replace these offensive expressions with something more gentle?





  • overweight

  • curvy 

  • obese

  • plump (rounded shape)
