Speaking Slide 13

You asked me to describe a place I like going shopping, so I'm going to talk
about a department store in my town. It's called Judies and it's a very old store.
In fact, it's about a hundred years old, so it's very famous. I would say that it's a
landmark
because everyone knows it. It's very large and spacious too, with four floors and
more than thirty different departments to visit. You can find anything you want
here, such as unusual presents for your friends, and you can buy really good
food too. For example, you can buy traditional cakes and sweets that are famous
in my area and they are delicious. It's an amazing shop but it's not cheap. In fact,
it's one of the most expensive shops in the area.

I think it's in a good location because it's right in the centre of the town, which
is very convenient. It's also very close to the railway station and a multi-storey
car park too, so that's good for you if you have lots of shopping bags to carry.
What do I like to do there? Well, I really like spending time in the jewellery
department and this is on the ground floor of the building. I love looking at the
different rings and necklaces. I enjoy trying them on too! I like gold jewellery
the best but I can't afford it. Why do I like it so much? Well, I like the
atmosphere in the store because it's very traditional. All the sales assistants are
very friendly and helpful too. Yes, it's a really good store, so that's why I spend
a lot of time in it!
