IELTS Speaking Part 1: Shopping – bài mẫu và câu trả lời hay

Do you like shopping?

Only when I know exactly what I'm after.

I usually shop around online first, so once I'm actually in the shop, I'm in and out in ten minutes.

Wandering round a shopping centre with no plan just isn't for me, though.

I mean, I get restless and start checking the time.

How often do you go shopping?

Well, not that often.

Clothes maybe once every couple of months, and only when I need something specific.

Toiletries, like shampoo and toothpaste, I stock up on whenever there's a two-for-one deal.

So basically, I go to the supermarket about once a month, always with a list.

Do you prefer online shopping or in-store shopping?

I'd say in-store, mostly.

With clothes, what you see is what you get, and I can try things on.

Online's fine for things I've bought before, like a phone charger, and it's usually cheaper.

Then again, I'd happily pay a bit more for peace of mind.

Have you ever returned anything you bought online?

A couple of times, yes.

The most recent was a hoodie.

I'd ordered a navy one, and what arrived was bright pink and about three sizes too big.

To be fair, the seller was lovely about it, and I got a full refund, no questions asked.

So yeah, I'd definitely order from them again.
