A. Read The Following Text Loudly Then Make Conclusion Of Each Paragraph!
Shopping is a necessary part of life which very few people can avoid. It is a daily routine
for some people. Some people shop for pleasure while other people go shopping just to buy
the necessary items in order to survive. The weekend is usually a good time to go shopping
because people have free time from work. At this time the shops are usually very busy
because people try to get the best items for the lowest price before the item runs out of stock.
Some people go shopping more regularly than other people to browse products in shops
even when they do not have much money. This is known as window shopping and allows
people to plan ahead and save for the things they want to buy in the future or wait for the
items to drop in price. Some people spend a lot of time looking for bargains while others do
not think of the price and are happy to spend a lot. Some people believe that the more
expensive the item, the better the quality, but this is not always true. It is sensible to buy
items which are affordable, but some people use a credit card or borrow money from the
bank so that they can buy the items they really want rather than wait for it.
Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift to buy other people for a
special occasion. It is common to buy a gift voucher so that a friend or loved one can go
shopping themselves at their own convenience. Shopping online is often popular with people
who have a busy lifestyle. People are able to order their necessary and luxury items from the
comfort of their own home, or even on the move. Delivery is usually free and items are often
cheaper than in shops on the high street. The only real problem is that the item description
and quality may be different than what they hoped for. This could mean the customer may
become disappointed with the item they receive and will need to return it at their own cost.
People who go to shops to do their shopping often use self-service payment machines. This
usually saves time as the shopper does not need to join a long queue. However, it can be
frustrating when the machine has a problem and the sales assistant is not always available to
help.
