Susie, me and shopping
Believe it or not – shopping is my life! I love shopping. Every weekend I go to a shopping mall with
my friend Susie and we spend a lot of time there – usually four hours! We always have a cup of hot
chocolate in a small café, and sit and relax for an hour or two. Then we go to Denim & Fashion, our
favourite clothes shop – it has got great clothes. Unfortunately we never stop at the High Heel shoe
shop because the shoes are very expensive and we haven’t got much money.
We sometimes go to Music World to look at new CDs or DVDs. I like Dido, an English singer and
Susie loves Marcus Miller, a guitarist. We don’t often buy any CDs but we like listening to them in
the shop. When we are hungry, we go to a fast food restaurant to have a burger and a cola. It’s not
very healthy but it’s a nice place to sit and there are lots of plants in the restaurant. Next to the
restaurant, there is a baker’s with delicious cakes. We sometimes buy a chocolate snack there.
Sometimes we go to the cinema to see a film when we finish shopping. We love hanging out in our
shopping mall!
