iamlisa's submission: Average Rating:
The last time I went shopping was on Sunday that a week before Chinese New Year. I went to the Berjaya Times Square in the city centre by train. There are crowded passengers in the train which most of them went shopping for Chinese New Year preparations. I reached a mall and started looking around, the decorations inside was very interesting with the red Chinese lanterns and dragon replicas. I was heading to my friend’s boutique at the left corner on the second floor. It is a well-knows boutique in the city for its beautiful and modern clothes. There are many choices of clothes for all functions, and I was looking for a dress to wear on my cousin wedding. I chose a red dress, a blue blouse and dark pants which cost of RM1200.

    Good job, Lisa. You always exceed the requirements of the assignment. There was no question about what you were trying to tell us and well done with minor errors.
