Legendary shoe shop to shut store for good as string of locations have already disappeared in 'end for high street'


(1º§) The retailer, which has more than 300 stores, has confirmed it'll shut for good at High Street in Newcastle under Lyme by the end of 2023. It comes after Clarks announced that it'll pull down the shutters in High Street Inverness before the end of this month. It'll also shut in Westwood Cross Shopping Centre in Kent in mid-November.


(2º§) Several Clarks stores closed earlier this year too, with its branch in Fareham Shopping Centre shutting on August 5 and the Dundee store closing on July 25. Before this, it closed the doors on two stores in Kent in Ashford and Gillingham at the end of 2022. Shoppers have reacted with disappointment at the Newcastle closure, with one writing on social media: "The end of the high street it's all gone now." While another added: "Another one so sad." And a third said: "I can't cope with this."


(3º§) A Clarks spokesperson told The Sun: "We have a strong duty of care to all our employees, and we are working closely with the store team as they now go through a period of consultation. "Customers can continue to shop from our full range of products online and at our nearby Clarks stores in Leek, Crewe and Nantwich, as well as our outlet store in Talke." The popular footwear chain was founded in 1825 and operated across over 1,400 stores and franchises internationally at its peak. But as of July 2023, the brand had just 320 stores.


(4º§) Clarks brought in management consultants McKinsey & Co to help with restructuring plans after posting a £82.9million post-tax loss in 2019. It was then rescued from the brink of collapse with a £100million investment deal by private equity firm LionRock Capital.


(5º§) A Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) was agreed which saw the Clarks family lose overall control of the company. A CVA allows firms that have run out of cash to look at ways to save the business, such as reducing rent rates with landlords. Companies often agree to a CVA to avoid insolvency, which can lead to closures or the whole business going bust.


(6º§) More than 50 stores were set to close following this announcement in November 2020 - but dozens more have shut since then. All is not lost for shoppers though, as the retailer has also relocated and opened new shops in recent months. The brand opened a new store on East Street in Taunton in April following the closure of its original high street store.


(7º§) Clarks also opened up a new store in Newcastle's Eldon Square shopping centre on May 14. Meanwhile, fellow footwear retailer Shoezone is pulling down the shutters on another store in its latest round of closures. Plus, we have the full list of 78 shops closing this week including Wetherspoons and House of Fraser. The cost of living crisis on top of a rise in online shopping has made it tougher than ever for businesses to keep physical stores open. Retailers and shoppers alike are also hit hard by stubbornly high energy costs and inflation.

   "In recent years, the debate surrounding the impact of technology on human relationships has gained significant momentum. While some argue that technological advancements have strengthened connections among individuals, others contend that they have led to a deterioration in the quality of personal interactions. This opinion article seeks to explore both sides of the argument, examining the ways in which technology has shaped our social landscape and influenced the dynamics of our relationships.
   On one hand, proponents of technology assert that it has brought people closer together, transcending geographical boundaries. Social media platforms, video calls, and instant messaging have allowed individuals to maintain connections with friends and family, fostering a sense of community that was once limited by physical distance. Additionally, technological tools have facilitated communication in professional settings, enabling collaboration on a global scale.
   On the other hand, skeptics argue that the prevalence of digital communication has eroded the depth and authenticity of human connections. They point to the rise of social media as a platform for shallow interactions, where meaningful conversations are replaced by curated images and brief, superficial exchanges. The constant presence of smartphones and other devices has also been accused of diverting attention during face-to-face interactions, leading to a decline in the quality of real-world relationships.
   In conclusion, the impact of technology on human relationships is a multifaceted issue with valid arguments on both sides. While technology has undeniably provided avenues for connection, it is essential to critically assess its influence on the depth and authenticity of our relationships."

Total Physical Response (TPR) is a language teaching method developed by James Asher in the late 1960s. About this approach, judge the items as true or false (T and F):

I - TPR emphasizes the association of language with physical actions, using the imperative mood and a command-response technique.

II - TPR is often employed in language instruction for young children and beginners, aiming to create a stress-free and enjoyable learning environment.

III - TPR primarily focuses on developing advanced language skills, making it suitable for learners at higher proficiency levels.

IV - The TPR method discourages the use of repetition and reinforcement in language learning, as it relies solely on physical actions for understanding.

“After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
and company doesn’t mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
and presents aren’t promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure
that you really are strong
and that you really do have worth
And you learn and you learn
with every goodbye you learn...”
