Contemporary versus traditional shopping

You need to buy some things for school and at the same time get a few clothes to add to your wardrobe as well. Where do you go to do your shopping: the traditional market that's common to this area or the new, large mall that has all the places you need under one comfortable roof? We read about market places in countries like Thailand, Morocco and France, as well as things you can buy from cafes, pharmacies, clothing stores, news stands and more. Now it's time to talk about shopping in the UAE.

What kind of market do you like to do your shopping and why do you like it. Is it the choice your favorite market offers you? Can you find all the shops you want to buy things from easily and quickly? Is your favorite shopping place comfortable to shop in or do you prefer it because it has everything you want? Perhaps you like to "hang out" and window shop just as much as shopping to buy things at your favorite shopping hangout. Finally, maybe you like both kinds of places, the contemporary as well as the traditional. Whatever the case on Thursday, we will have our writing exercise where each one of you will have to write a 150 word essay on your shopping habits; where you shop, what you like to buy, what other things you like to do at your favorite shopping market and what you like best about the place. This assignment will have to be completed by the end of school Thursday, so you have plenty of time. Be sure to refer to unit 4 vocabulary to help you with this task. Of course if you have any questions, please ask me during class time. See you there, God willing.
