Sarah from New York

I love shopping, especially clothes! I usually go to Macy’s or Bloomingdale’s. I prefer
department stores to shops They have a wide range of things. I also like going to Soho, though.
There is a shop there that has sales all year round, so prices are much cheaper. I usually go
there once a month with my friends. As a matter of fact, we were there last weekend to buy a
birthday for Melany.

Maggie from London

I’m not crazy about shopping, If you asked me if I’d rather go to Oxford Street or to a
football match, I would have to say a match…. But whPretty good and the prices are
reasonable. They always have special offers and, If you’re lucky, you can find real bargains. I
sometimes go to Harrod's with my mom. We were there last month for the sales, but it was
frustrating. The prices were much higher than we thought. A casual dress for L.90, Can you
believe it?

Harrod's - London dress

 nightmare bargains

Pedro from Lisbon

I hate shopping and I usually make a list of what I need and ask my mom to
buy it. As school was about to start, last weekend she made me go with her
to Colombo Shopping Center to buy some new clothes and a pair of trainers.
It was a nightmare! We spent hours coming in and out of crowded shops and
my mom was always stopping to talk to her friends. The only good thing is
that she bought me a new computer game. That really put a smile on my face.
