My husband and I do not usually go to the sales as we don’t like crowds and in any case we are short of money as we have bought a lot of Christmas presents. Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large department stores in the contra of London. We both needed some new clothes and were also hoping to find a television set. When we arrived at Oxford Street, it was so crowded that we decided to separate and meet again at the front of the store. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were of very large sizes and so were not fit for me. But I did buy a television set at a very low price. So I felt quite pleased with myself. When I got to the gate of the store, my husband was not there so I sat down in a nearby caf to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw him and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy box. “Oh, dear !” I thought. He didn’t buy any new clothes either, but we did have two television sets. We won’t be going to the sales again.
