Going Shopping
Zane invites Linda to go shopping with him…
Zane: Hey, Linda! I was wondering if you’d like to go shopping with me today?
Linda: Yeh, sounds like fun! I haven’t been shopping in ages. When do you want to go?
Zane: Let’s be spontaneous! Why don’t we go now? We could go to the new shopping centre
at Matthew’s Square. Apparently, they have some really good shops there…
Linda: Why not? Let’s go! I feel so out of touch with fashion trends at the minute… I could
really do with some inspiration. I feel like I’m dressing in clothes from my grandma’s
wardrobe at the minute!
Zane: Ha-ha, it can’t be that bad! We had better go then…
Linda: I know you want to go the new shopping centre, but could we stop by Urban Outfits
on the way? I love that shop!
Zane: Sure! I’ve never been in it before, but it looks cool. Is it not very expensive though?
I’ve heard some of the clothes have extortionate prices!
Linda: You’re right but you can be lucky when the sale is on. Let’s go inside and have a
look…
Zane: You were right, a lot of the clothes are super expensive… Look! There are the trainers
I’ve been looking for! And they’re half price! I’m going to have to buy them…
Linda: It’s too good a deal to miss! Then, should we grab a bite before going to the shopping
centre?
Zane: Yes, that’s a great idea. Let’s go!
