Shopping do you enjoy shopping?

SHOPPING 
 
1. Do you enjoy shopping? 
Yes, definitely, a lot. You know how much most girls like shopping, and I am no 
exception. I frequently go shopping with my mother or some friends. There are many new 
shopping malls in my city, with a lot of new shops, more choices
．
It’s always exciting to go 
there, and relaxing too
．
No, I can’t say I like it and I hardly ever go to the mall unless I know for sure what I 
want to buy. Some people, especially some girls, can go window shopping all afternoon, just 
trying on new clothes even if they don’t need anything new because their closets are already 
full at home. They think it is fun and exciting, but I find it tiring and boring to walk around 
with no precise aim. My girlfriend frequently asks me to go shopping with her, and I must 
admit I am running out of excuses not to go
！
2. Do you prefer shopping in modern stores or in traditional markets? 
I definitely prefer to go to the modern department stores, because I know I can find 
whatever I want there. The shops offer a great variety of brand-name clothes
．
Usually the 
traditional markets in my hometown only sell cheap products or counterfeit items
．
In my neighborhood there are a few clothes shops as well as a bookstore I like to go 
to. But most of the shops sell furniture, because I live in a residential area with a lot of new 
buildings, and the owners of these new apartments need to purchase beds, tables, and sofas 
to furnish their new places
．
I guess the business is quite good for these stores. In addition, 
there is a pretty big supermarket like 5 minutes away from my place.
3. What sorts of things do you enjoy buying most? 
I like to buy books. I read a lot, and I enjoy seeing all the books on the shelves in my 
house. Books are great; they allow me to relax, and they open the doors to an imaginary 
world. They make me dream. In addition, I love the smell of new books. I know it’s a bit 
weird, isn’t it?
4. Who does the daily or weekly shopping in your household? 
It really depends. My mother often goes grocery shopping after work, but my father 
frequently goes to the market to buy fish, meat and vegetables on the weekend. Occasionally 
my grandma also buys groceries. It depends on who’s got time to go.
5. How often do you go shopping for things apart from food? 
Rarely. I am a university student, so I don’t have that much money, and I don’t want to 
spend my parents’ cash on things I don’t need. I enjoy shopping, but I don’t think it’s run if I 
know I can buy whatever I like. I guess I will go shopping more often as soon as I find a job 
and start earning my own money.
6. Do men and women have the same attitude to shopping? 
No definitely not! Most women could spend whole afternoons shopping, wandering 
around the shops, whereas men usually know what they what. And men are not ready to waste time.
