The shopping habit

Kate and Molly are both students. They go to the same college in London and they're very good friends. They both enjoy the cinema and going to the gym and, like all young people, they both love shopping. But they go shopping in very different places.

Kate likes shopping in town. She likes going into different shops to look at different clothes and takes her boyfriend Sam with her. He doesn't like shopping, but he likes Kate! He goes shopping with her every Saturday and sits and waits in the shops. Sometimes Kate stays in town for five hours. She looks at clothes in different colours and sizes and tries them on. Her favourite designer is Calvin Klein, but he's quite expensive, so Kate doesn't often buy his clothes. She doesn't have a lot of money and she can't buy a lot of clothes, but she loves looking.

Molly also likes designer clothes. She loves buying shoes and she has a lot in her room. But Molly doesn't go shopping in town. She prefers to use the Internet. She loves shopping online. She sits at her computer for hours and looks for cheap clothes and shoes. Sometimes when the clothes arrive, they aren't the right size. Sometimes they aren't the right colour, but that's no problem for Molly. She returns them and buys more. Molly doesn't like going to the shops in town where there are a lot of people. She likes her computer - it's her favourite shop!

Example: Kate and Molly are sisters.
