Notes :

Marge: So, Pat, how was your shopping trip in the city then? Did you find anything useful?
Pat: Oh, (1) the kids and I had a great time Marge! We spent the whole afternoon looking at all the stores. Look, I found these great sports shoes for Gary at
Sportsworld and (2) they only cost 15 pounds.
Marge: 15 pounds for those? Why were they so cheap?
Pat: I paid in cash. If I’d paid by credit card, they would’ve cost 25 pounds.
Marge: (3) I don’t know how you can stand walking around the shops all day. I prefer doing my shopping online. There are so many online stores that I can
quickly find what I want. And it’s so much easier to compare prices online. That would take most of the day when you’re in the city.
Pat: You may be right Marge, but for me, shopping is an adventure. I enjoy trying on lots of clothes, asking the shop assistants silly questions, (4) having a cup of
coffee with my friends.
Marge: Or getting cold and wet in the rain!
Pat: Oh, come on Marge! (5) Hey, take a look at these great trousers I bought for myself.
Marge: Hmm, they look really comfortable. Where did you find them?
Pat: (6) At Huntington’s – a new clothing store that’s just opened next to the post office. It’s got a wide variety - and there’s a small men’s part as well. Isn’t that
great? I bought this pullover there for Simon. It’ll keep him warm in the winter.
