1. We have only three big shops near our house. Two of them are not so big, but one is pretty large for our district. It is our newest mall.

2. I like to go shopping because sometimes I can find clothes that look good on me or buy something that is needed at home. As example, I buy fresh meat at the butcher's. It has been working in our area for three years and my family fully trusts their goods. But we buy fresh vegetables at the greengrocer's in the corner of this street.

3. Sometimes I have to make our product-list and buy them all by myself because parents are practically always busy with their work. But on the weekends we have a chance to go and watch new film at the cinema in the nearest mall. Practically we spend our days-off together as a real family.

4. I like to buy presents for my friends and parents. Honestly speaking, I find this exciting. Especially the main part, when I'm searching for it.

In general, travelling is the best way to relax. It is a good opportunity to study the history and culture of a new country or a city. Besides this aspect, you can communicate with people. The travelling abroad can broaden your mind and outlook, so you can get a lot of positive emotions. Personally for me, it is better to travel to another country and to be far away from home, because I like so much the feeling of returning home. I want to advise people to travel because it creates the best memories.
