Shopping with friends (a part of a test) Write about a time you went clothes shopping with your partner / a friend. There was a girlfriend in the past. And, yes, she wanted me to buy new clothes. “These are old and too worn”, she said. Probably, she was right. I usually wear my clothes till they start turning to rag. “Ok”, I said. “There is a really good shop near here. They sell uniform of European military forces. These are high quality, long life and very comfortable. Exactly what I like.” She looked at me as if I went crazy. “No”, she said. “We’re going to normal shops to buy normal clothes.” “Bad omen”, I thought, but said nothing. So, she walked me to some shops and a shopping centre where I have never been before. She was full with enthusiasm. She wanted me to try on some shoes, jeans, sweaters and even shirts (I’ve never worn shirts since I was 12). Luckily, there weren’t tuxedos and ties for sale over there. And everything she chose didn’t suit me absolutely. That took her about a half a day to see what something was wrong. “What’s up?” she asked suspiciously. An awkward situation. I didn’t want to wear things she liked, but how could I explain that with no harm? She was so inspired to dress me up like a doll. “Just a wrong day to do the shopping, sweet one”, I said. “Let’s try that again in a week or so.” “But why?” she asked. “There are so many cute and beautiful clothes over here. Trust me. I know things about clothes. “Of course, you do”, I said and thought: “But not about my clothes.”
