i am not sure whether it?s true or not, but most of women do enjoy shopping. on the contrary, man would normally do something else instead.

 

6.     describe a shopping center where you often go.

key: (where, why)

actually, i don?t do much shopping, but there is one shopping center that i often go to. that is ?xiu shui street?, which locates in the east of the downtown of bj. it is a street mainly deal with traditional chinese clothes and some other unique, i may say it is foreign oriented, all the shop owners and assistants can speak some foreign language, which make the shopping of foreign friends easier. the reason why i often go is not to buy anything, but to meet some foreign friends so that i can practice my english.

 

normally, i?d like to go to carrefour, from which i can buy comparatively better things with the lowest prices, and there are normally all kinds of things from daily necessaries to appliance, so that i do not have to keep walking in deferent stores. but i hate to line up for my turn to pay, sometimes i have to wait for about 30ms, which drive me crazy.
