Shopping — Шоппинг

Today shopping is getting more and more popular. One can find big shopping centers with hundreds of boutiques almost in every city. Recently, gigantic hypermarkets have become favorite places for many people. They come there to do some shopping and meet with friends. Hypermarkets also offer entertainment like cinema, bowling or bars. This makes little shopping trips even more attractive. At the same time, the so-called «shopping addiction» is considered a mental disorder. So, people have different opinions about shopping.

As for me, I enjoy shopping. My friend Julia and I visit a big shopping mall Mega almost every week. It is situated in the far district of the city. We go there by bus after lunch and come back late in the evening. Every time we buy different things: sometimes for me, sometimes for her, sometimes for both of us. When I don’t need anything, I just follow Julia and help her to choose. She does the same for me. I never feel bored, we talk a lot.

After the shopping we usually go to one of the cafes to have a bite. If there is an interesting movie in the cinema, we buy tickets and watch it.

It is always a big joy to make these shopping trips with Julia. I don’t see anything bad about them. Most of all, I enjoy buying new clothes, accessories and cosmetics. Well, to be honest, sometimes I buy things that I don’t really need — when there is a sale or when I am in a bad mood. After shopping I feel happier, it helps to get rid of stress.

I think there is nothing wrong with shopping for pleasure. It is all right to give money for things that make you feel good. We should just remember that there’s a sensible limit for any pleasure. If you know when to stop, shopping can’t do you any harm. It will only bring positive emotions.

Сегодня шоппинг становится все более популярным. Практически в каждом городе можно найти большие торговые центры с сотнями бутиков. В последнее время огромные гипермаркеты

становятся излюбленными местами многих людей. Они приезжают туда, чтобы пройтись по магазинам и встретиться с друзьями. Гипермаркеты также предлагают развлечения, такие как кино, боулинг или бары. Это делает короткие поездки за покупками еще более привлекательными. В то же время так называемый «шопоголизм» считается психическим расстройством. Так что среди людей бытуют разные мнения насчет шоппинга.

Что касается меня, мне нравится шоппинг. Моя подруга Джулия и я ездим в большой торговый комплекс Мега практически каждую неделю. Мега находится в отдаленном районе города. Мы приезжаем туда на автобусе после обеда и возвращаемся поздно вечером. Каждый раз мы покупаем разные вещи: иногда для меня, иногда для нее, иногда для нас обеих. Когда мне ничего не нужно, я просто гуляю с Джулией и помогаю ей выбирать. Она делает то же самое для меня. Мне никогда не бывает скучно, мы много болтаем. После шоппинга мы обычно отправляемся в какое-нибудь кафе перекусить. Если в кино идет интересный фильм, мы покупаем билеты и смотрим его.

Это всегда большая радость — совершать такие поездки с Джулией. Я не вижу в них ничего плохого. Больше всего мне нравится покупать новую одежду, аксессуары и косметику. Ну, если честно, иногда я покупаю вещи, в которых не особо нуждаюсь — когда идет распродажа или когда я в плохом настроении. После шоппинга я чувствую себя счастливее, он помогает избавиться от стресса.

Я думаю, нет ничего плохого в шоппинге ради удовольствия. Отдавать деньги за то, что приносит радость — вполне нормально. Нам только следует помнить, что для любого удовольствия есть разумный предел. Если вы знаете, когда остановиться, шоппинг не может навредить вам. Он принесет лишь положительные эмоции.
