参考答案
There are many downtown areas in Beijing; the most famous one is Wangfujing and Xidan. There are lots of department stores and shopping plazas there. Lots of people, home and abroad go there shopping. There are other shopping centers and shopping malls too. I often do my shopping nearby. When I buy daily goods, I would go to big supermarkets nearby, it’s very convenient and the goods there are very cheap. When I buy clothes, I would go to department stores and I will also go to some wholesale markets. I will compare the style and price，and I will choose the best one which is cheap but of good quality. I would buy things I see on the advertisements and TV commercials. In my home, it’s my mother who does the most of shopping. In school, we also go to drug stores to buy some food and drink, and we go to the fruit stand to buy some fruits there.
