Describe your shopping habit.
You should say:
- What type of things you like shopping for;
- How often you do the shopping;
- And explain whether that habit is good or bad.
When it comes to shopping, I have to say that I’m keen on this activity. I love
shopping for a variety of reasons, for example, I can relax myself - relieve stress. I want
to shop directly at the store, the reason is that I like the real feeling, of being able to visit
the place experience and see the item. I can try things on to see if they fit the size. When
shopping offline, as long as I like something, I will pay the price and have that item
instead of waiting like when buying online. I usually go shopping for clothes once a
month, except for some events that month, I will go more. As for me, new clothes make
me feel happy and motivated every day, when I put on my clothes and look at myself in
the mirror, I feel more confident. In my point of view, that habits good or bad depends on
how you use the money for it. it will be bad if you spend too much money on expensive
clothes, but i only buy what is right for the money i have. Spend wisely, you can save for
your future.

Today, we can see the fashion industry is growing day by day with each of the fashion
houses, many names such as chanel, fendi, H&M.. in which, the brand that i like the most
is gucci. And now, i will show you why i like it. Gucci is a fashion icon owned by Italy
and France, a famous leather goods brand. Gucci was founded in 1921 by Guccio Gucci
in Florence, Tuscany. Under the direction of Aldo Gucci (Guccio's son), Gucci became a
worldwide famous brand, an icon of Italy'sDolce Vita. Its product lines include bags,
ready-to-wear, footwear, accessories, makeup, and home decor. Gucci designs clothes
mainly, then shoes and perfumes. Each of their products has very different details but has
a very “gucci” style. Because it's a famous brand, their clothes are also very expensive,
usually belonging to the nobility. Gucci is my favorite brand name for the following
reasons: Firstly, Gucci is closely associated with top and extremely famous fashion
designers. It has become a lifestyle brand with its own class. Secondly, compared to
other brands, Gucci designs moremenswear and I find it quite suitable for my style.
Finally, Gucci gives me a feeling ofcloseness and comfort. Thanks for listening

Well, I had sweet memories when I was 10. At that time, I was living in a countryside.
I had a lot of hobbies such as painting, reading stories, and hanging out with my
neighbors. We play hide and seek and folk games. We didn’t have smartphone. Among
them, I like to play with my friends in the neighborhood. The role-playing game is really
fun, we use the leaves as money to trade, build tree houses and play together. Besides, I
also like to draw. I entered a drawing competition in my art class and won first prize.
Although the reward is not really big, I am very proud when I think about it. Now I live
in a big city but I don’t forget the sweet memories. I hope we all cherish the moments of
childhood so that in the future there will be no regrets

fashion item on the internet to see whether its quality is as good as its advertising, you
know, advertising always exaggerates. The purchase process is very simple because I
can pay via online banking, which is very convenient. And the shoes were delivered the
next day without fault the end, I like buying on Shopee because I have a wide choice

forget the knowledge. Spending time in the school library is a great way for me to read
more books related to Law. When I have knowledge, I will go to practice to gain more
experience. Finally, I will hone and practice necessary skills such as teamwork skills,

Well, the magician I admire is David Blaine. He was born in Brooklyn, New York
and started doing magic at the age of four. I knew David Blaine's talent from watching
him perform on television shows. In the past, he used to do magic tricks for customers
in luxury restaurants. Then he started working at parties for wealthy people, and made
friends with various famous actors. He became well known after he created a TV
show called David Blaine: Street Magic. Since then he has done anumber of
spectacury stunts that were shown live on TV. Most of them are dangerous and
harmful. First, he was frozen inside a six-ton block of ice in NewYork's Time Square.
When he was released from the ice he couldn't walk. Another one is that he stood on a
25 meter pillar for 35 hours - again without food or water. Finally, he jumped off the
pillar - onto a pile of boxes. After that he lived without food for 44 days in a glass box
by the River Thames in London's talent and bravery truly impressed me a lot
and made me become his fan. If possible, I really want to come to his reality show and
contemplate his performance closely
