Tom. U.K.
speaker 1 I don't like shopping very much. I'm not into all this walking around department 2 stores 4 looking at stuff 5, choosing things. I'm a tall guy 6 and so it's really hard for me to find clothes that fit 7 so shopping is really not pleasant 8.
Santi, Indonesia 10
speaker Well, I really, really enjoy shopping. That's why ... a week I could 11 spend about four time to go to the department store 3, especially 12 when there is a bargain 13 or sales 14, and since 15 my house is near one of the biggest department store, it's about five minutes by car, so, well, if we want to have lunch together we go to that department store, and after that we go shopping.
Lia, Indonesia
speaker I go shopping quite a lot. Recently 16, maybe three to four times a week, but what I buy is usually daily 17 needs such 18 as 9 fruit or food but not clothes or things like that.
George, U.S.
speaker How often do you go shopping? Well, recently I don't really go shopping at all. Maybe only once a year. I remember in high school though 19 I used 20 to go shopping probably 21 once a week. I used to be one of those spoiled little rich kids 22 that would 23 get that would get anything they wanted, but again moving out on my own 24, I've discovered 25 a hundred dollars for a t-shirt is not a good deal 26, and yeah, I think I'm a little bit 27 of a better person 28 for it.
Jess, U.K.
speaker I go shopping maybe about two times a week. I really enjoy shopping, and where I live there are lots and lots of clothes shops open after I finish work, so often when I leave work on my way home I find myself 29 wondering 30 into shops and picking 31 things up and trying things on. I love shopping.
