I like to go shopping and I usually go to the department stores. I spend much money because they can be a little

bit

( expensive – cheap – purple )

( at – on - in )

my city, Wellington. There are also

flea markets which I enjoy to just

I don't buy used clothes that often unless I need them for an event or university event or

something. Jewelry I love to buy.

Jim, England

So I hate shopping. The only time I really go shopping is when I go to the

( butcher’s – baker’s – green grocer’s )

shopping because I find it so

and I tend to

my girlfriend or my mother to buy me clothes, which is a little bit sad.
