Answer 1

V. WRITING.

Today I went clothes shopping with a friend, we needed to buy some clothes for the party. My friend and I saw some little boutiques named: bershka, Zara, Colin's. We ran to the closest boutique: Colin's and found some cute dresses, but we couldn't get which one will fit us better, so my friend told me that the yellow dress gets me looking more fat than a purple one. I helped her with the other dress, and we got to other stores.

So we got dresses from Colin's, Bershka's accessories and beautiful shoes from Zara. I liked this shopping with my friend and I am planning to go with her on another one the next weekend.

Answer 2

VI. WRITING

I remember the time my friend Sarah and I went clothes shopping at the mall. We visited a few shops, but ended up spending most of our time in a trendy boutique called "Urban Threads". I needed to buy a dress for an upcoming party, and Sarah was on the hunt for a new pair of jeans.

In the store, I picked out a few dresses to try on, while Sarah browsed through the denim section. I tried on a beautiful blue cocktail dress and a more casual sundress. Sarah grabbed a couple of jeans in different styles and sizes. We both ended up finding items that suited us perfectly.

Sarah was incredibly helpful during the process. She offered honest opinions and even suggested some accessories to go with my chosen dress. Her fashion sense was invaluable.

We had such a great time that we're already planning our next shopping trip. It's wonderful to have a friend with such great taste and a keen eye for fashion.
