Shopping
How do you like to buy things? How often do you go shopping? Who do you normally go shopping with? Shopping is an exciting activity for most people especially women.
When people go shopping, they buy different things such as clothes, food, and gifts in different places. A supermarket is a great place to buy fresh fruits and vegetables and we cannot bargain there. A mall has many stores for clothes, shoes, and toys. Market is an outdoor place where people can sell and buy things easily and it is normally very noisy. Some people especially teens, they like to shop online to get things easily at home.
Money is important for shopping. We use cash or cards to pay for items. It is smart to compare prices before buying something. Good shoppers make lists before going to the store. Shopping is fun, but saving money is important too!
