I’m going to talk about shopping.

To begin with, it’s common knowledge that shopping is an important part of our life. Everyone goes shopping at least once a week. Personally, I like shopping because I can choose whatever I want. It takes my mind off any problems I have and raises my spirits.

Actually, I usually go shopping with my parents once a week. We often go to a shopping centre at the weekend. We buy food, cosmetics, household goods, stationery goods, clothes and furniture together. Sometimes I do the shopping with my friends. Besides, I adore going to bookshops.

As for me, I prefer going to shops because I can see and try on what I’m going to buy.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that shopping is fun and it unites people.

That’s all I wanted to say about shopping.
