Shopping Habits

Britney: I bought clothes online a few times in the past, but it was usually a bad experience. Sometimes the clothes didn't fit. Sometimes the colour was different from in the picture, and I didn't like it, or the style didn't look good on me. Then I had to return the clothes, and that wasn't convenient. So these days I always buy clothes in town, but not at the mall — there aren't many good clothes shops there now. But there's a great market near the river. The clothes are really colourful there, and they're cheap too. The problem is there aren't any fitting rooms — I have to find a dark corner of the stall and try clothes on there. It's not great, but I find some great clothes.

Bryan: I never buy clothes online. To me, it seems silly to buy something when you can't try it on, or touch it, or see the quality. My friend saw an advert for a suit online and bought it to wear at a wedding. He thought he was going to get a bargain, but when it arrived, it was terrible quality. He had to buy another suit, and he had to pay to return the other one — what a waste of time and money! I buy all my clothes at the mall. There are a lot of clothes shops, but only a few of them sell good quality clothes. I buy my clothes in those shops. I pay a lot for them — they last a long time, and they look smart. I don't like shopping, so I don't mind spending more money — then I don't have to go shopping often. I don't shop at the market. The clothes there are poor quality, and the colours are really bright. I think they look cheap. I prefer to look smart.
