I don’t mind going shopping for fun from time to time, but it’s not my favourite hobby. When I was young, I hated going shopping because my mother took too long in every shop. Now, I go shopping a couple of times a year and the rest of the stuff I need, I buy it online.

In this picture I can see a family in a supermarket. The father is pushing the shopping cart. The two kids are in the shopping cart, probably because they find it fun. They’re like playing while their parents are doing the shopping. I used to do it too when I was little.Â
Judging by the products that are on the shelves, they are buying some snacks. Actually, the two kids have snacks in their hands. They look like a happy family who does a lot of activities together. The family and one of the kids are wearing smart casual clothes, so they may be buying food and drinks for a party, a celebration or something like that.Â
I think it’s a good idea for them to go to the supermarket together because, that way, each of them can choose exactly the products that they want. And also, their parents don’t have to worry about what their children will be doing at home while they’re doing the shopping.

I prefer going shopping alone because I’m very indecisive and sometimes take too long to choose what to buy. I don’t like having my friends waiting for me to make up my mind, so I prefer going shopping alone and take my time.
