"My attitude to shopping
I like shopping very much, it´s a pleasure for me, but I only enjoy shopping for clothes, shoes and cosmetics. Sometimes, I buy clothes according to myself, but sometimes I need an advice, because I simply can´t decide. My favourite shops are for example CA, Takko, NY, Deichman, Rossmann and I prefer bigger shopping centres. I don´t go shopping very often, maybe once a month, because I want to save some money.
Sometimes I have to shop for food - during holidays every day. Usually, I write a shopping list in order not to forget anything.

Corner shop vs. shopping centre
Nowadays, there are many types of shops, for example a baker's, a butcher's, a drugstore, a florist's, a bookshop and many others. We usually go to these shops when we know exactly what we need to buy. Advantages of smaller shops are more friendly atmosphere and more pleasant service, but on the other hand they are small, there are shorter opening hours, higher prices and the selection of goods is limited.
Most people shop in large supermarkets now, because there is a wider choice and except food they can buy there even some cosmetics, clothes, toys and electronics.
In big cities, there are situated shopping centres. There are many shops, some café, restaurants, toilets, a kid´s corner, somewhere also banks, a cinema and other services under one roof. Its advantages are also longer opening hours, enough space for parking, lower prices, sales and discounts, special offers (buy 2 get 1 for free) and we can pay by credit card there. But it has also some disadvantages, for example air condition - it can be too hot or cold, shop assistants may be unpleasant, it can be crowded, people are tempted to buy what they don´t need and it´s time consuming.

An ideal shop assistant should be pleasant. He or she should help us everytime, when we need something, but don´t look at us as we want to steal something.

Shopping on the Internet
Nowadays, it´s very popular to shop on the Internet. There is a really wide choice, you can buy there almost everything. It´s easy, quick and comfortable and the prices are usually lower than prices in shops. Some disadvantages are that you have to pay postage, it takes a long time and if you shop for clothes, you can´t try it on. "
