(OPEN)What is your best choice for your leisure time?
Imagine that in the hot summer day the torrid sun hangs on the sky. The sun burns your skin. You’re sweating and you feel thirsty. Your skin is sticky and turns into dark. Come on, why don’t you go shopping in the Department store? Enjoy the cool breeze coming from the air conditioner? Wow! So great!
Imagine that in the cold winter day there is an icy wind blowing. The wind chills to your bone. You’re trembling. Your fingers are numb and turn into bloodless. Oh! Why don’t you shop in the department store? Enjoy the warm breath of the air conditioner? Wow! So wonderful! Therefore, no matter in any seasons or in any weather, shopping will be always your best choice for your free time.
(Body)So do I but not only for the weather!
1. At the bra counter
Wow! It’s my first time to visit the bra counter. There were so many different kinds of bra here. When I was taking my pick, the saleswoman came to me!
Saleswoman: May I help you? (with a big smile on her face) I can choose some suitable ones
for you to try on!
Amanda: Ok! Thanks! (the action for trying on the bra…) Um…. Not bad! But they’re a little bit
too expensive. I just have poor salary for each month and I cannot afford it.
Saleswoman: I think they fit your style. A little bit cutie and a little bit sexy! You have very
beautiful shape of chest! Do you see the effect of this bra! It can help you to upgrade from A to A+! No, I mean from C to C+. I’m not good at flattering. But say it truly. You now are as gorgeous as the star 天心!
Amanda: Oh! Come on! Is that true? I think your products are not as expensive as I think and I
really need some new ones. Pack all of them and I’ll pay by credit card.

2. At the clothing counter
Oh! It’s my favorite brand of clothing.
Saleswoman: Hey, long time no see! Come here! I’ll let you try on some of our new-arrivals.
The design of this one-piece dress is more lady style and I found you have
well-proportioned body shape like the super model, 林志玲!
Amanda: Hoo…is that true?
Saleswoman: Of course! And this one is cute style one. Oh! See! It’s also suitable for you
because you’re so slim and have sweet temperament like the popular singer, 楊丞
琳! Believe me I’m telling the truth!
Amanda: Hoooo… Is that true?
Saleswoman: Of course, it’s the truth! Only trim ladies can wear the clothes made by us.
Amanda: Hooooo….. I totally agree with you! You’re so honest! I like this, this, this and this.
Pack them for me and I’ll pay by credit card!

(CONCLUSION)
Amanda: Hahahaha…. So now you know another reason I love shopping! It’s shopping is really a healthy exercise because you’ll get lots of complements while you shopping. When you feel happy, your brain will release one kind of happy element, Endorphin, which will keeps your mind in good condition. As a smart girl, please go shopping, shopping and shopping for your health. And for my health I also bought this glory diamond ring for myself.
Amanda: What is this? Oh! It’s my bill. Oops! I hope I can be as rich as Bill Gates!
