READING

1 Read a teenager’s blog about shopping and tick () A, B, or C.

Shopping with mother?


I’m Cathy Huang and I’m 16. Welcome to my blog. This week I’m writing about
shopping with your mother. Thanks for reading!

Have you ever been shopping with your mother? I’d like to hear you say ‘Yes, and it
was fun.’ But are you really telling the truth? I went to the shopping centre yesterday
with my mum. She wanted to buy me a dress for her birthday party. She’s going to
be 50 next weekend. So what’s the problem with that? I hear you ask.

Well, the problem is, my mother always wants to buy me what she wants, not what I
want. And we want very different things. I tried on a beautiful red dress, but she said
it didn’t fit. (It was very short!) Then I tried on a long skirt, but she didn’t like the
colour. (It was purple!) I was in and out of changing rooms all day and we couldn’t
agree on anything. She rolled her eyes and complained about everything I tried on.
It was so depressing. And so boring. By 5 o’clock my feet were killing me and I still
didn’t have a dress for the party.

Next time Mum wants to take me shopping, I’m going to tell her my room is a terrible
mess and I have to tidy it now. I know it’s not very nice to lie, but shopping with my
mother is not fun. And, I’ve just seen a fantastic dress on eBay. It’s so chic. I’m
going to look amazing at Mum’s party.

Example: Cathy writes her blog every week.

WRITING

Write about a time you went clothes shopping with a friend. Answer the
questions. (100–150 words)
• Which shop(s) did you go to?
• What did you need to buy?
• Did you try anything on? What?
• Was your friend helpful?
• Are you planning to go shopping with your friend again?

I often visit defacto, bershka, flo, koton in my city. When shopping, I look at the first
assessment, and the second at its price. I often go shopping with my friends. I went to
buy a sweater and shoes in the fall. Yes, I wore a beautiful dress, and when I didn't
have enough money, I decided to buy it next time. My friend helps me a lot to choose.
I respect his opinion and I will help him in the same way. Yes I plan to go often with
my friends, we like shopping. I like to shop alone. But it's more fun to be with my
friends.
