THE LISTENING TAPESCRIPT
From: http://www.listenAminute.com/s/shopping.html

Shopping must be one of the worlds most popular
hobbies. I hate it. Theres nothing more boring than
wandering around shopping malls. What a waste of time.
I know a lot of people who like window shopping just
walking around shops without wanting to buy anything.
Crazy! My plan for shopping is quickly in, quickly out. If
I have to go shopping, I go in the morning on a weekday.
This is when the stores are empty and you can get what
you want quickly, without thousands of other shoppers
getting in your way. The worst time to go shopping is on
a Saturday afternoon during sale season. It seems as
though all of the worlds bargain hunters are in the same
store as you. I was happy when online shopping came
along. This is very relaxing.
