My shopping experience I like going shopping because it’s very interesting. I have gone shopping with my mum. One Saturday, my mum took me to the shopping center in Xujiahui. There are many different cool clothes shops. I saw a lot of fashionable clothes for girl. Mum bought me a new pair of jeans, a Nike T-shirt and a pair of sports shoes. Mum needed to buy a new pair of shoes, so she tried on some shoes. But she didn’t buy them because she thought they were too expensive. But she bought a dress with the blue stripes. The dress fitted her very much. Later, she tried on a pair of trousers but they were too tight for her to wear so she didn’t buy them. We also bought a… for Dad. After shopping, we enjoyed delicious food in Tasty Food Restaurant. What a happy weekend we had! I hope when I grow up, I can buy my mum beautiful clothes.
