Do you prefer shopping online or going to actual shops?

A natural way to answer

It depends on what I'm buying. For clothes I like to go to the shop so I can try things on. For everyday things, online is faster and usually cheaper.

Key phrases to use

  • send it back — to return something you bought, usually by post“It didn't fit, so I sent it back.”
  • try things on — to put on clothes in a shop to see if they fit“I always try things on before I buy.”
  • get carried away — to get so excited that you do more than you meant to“I got carried away and bought way too much.”
