Прочитайте текст и скажите, что вы думаете о покупках и почему.
У разных людей разные игры. Некоторые увлекаются спортом, другие держат домашних животных и проводят много времени, ухаживая за ними. Моя подруга Алиса любит ходить в магазины. Покупки - ее любимое занятие. Она может часами искать новую блузку, красивое пальто или зимние ботинки. Не могу сказать, что покупки - это моя чашка чая. Я ненавижу делать покупки. Обычно В магазинах много людей, и требуется слишком много времени, чтобы найти то, что вам действительно нравится. Но Алиса часто просит меня пойти с ней и ей выбрать вещи. Я не могу сказать «нет», потому что мы хорошие друзья.
