Hi, I prefer shopping in a shopping centre because when I he finished my purchase I can eat something there, for example, in the "Burguer King" or in other restaurant. Also I can go there by my car because the shopping centre have car park. On the other hand, if it rain, I won´t dip me because shops are inside large facility. That´s all!
ResponderEliminarThanks for your comment, María!
EliminarI prefer shopping in a shopping centre, because it's easier and faster when you have to buy a huge range of many different things. It has also a lot of free parking places to ensure a nice day if you have to go there. I usually buy in Carrefour, on Friday evening, after my afternoon nap.
ResponderEliminarApparently, shopping centres are more popular than high streets. Thanks for your comment, Juan Manuel.
ResponderEliminarIt was my pleasure.
EliminarHello! I personally prefer shopping in a local high Street because I really love all the small boutiques whit fashionable ítems. I thinck they are charming. But, on the other hand it`s also true that sometimes, if we haven`t got many time to enjoy shopping, it could be quicker going to a shopping center.
ResponderEliminarThanks for your comment!
ResponderEliminarHello! I'm going to talk about my preferences about shopping. In my case it depends.
ResponderEliminarFor example, if I know that some friends come to visit me and they need to buy a lot of different things, I prefer going to a shopping centre like Imaginalia, because we have food places, where we can eating fast food, clothes shops with free parking, and we can spend all day there, but if I am alone, I prefer going to the High Street because I like walking between some boutiques and look some discounts in clothes.
That's all!
Good evening. Firstly under my point of view I'd say local high street is more confortable than shopping center on account of people don't need car to go there in cities like Albacete. However the strong disadvantage about local high street for me is that there isn't cinemas in these places if you want to watch a current film.

The shopping centre offers an extensive and diverse selection of
ResponderEliminarinternational quality brands, Also offers cafes, restaurants and leisure zones.
All of that under one roof. It´s nice in summer, becouse it has air conditioner, and
it´s great in winter because heating.
Anyway, I don’t really like shopping, but if I need it, I prefer a shopping center.
Thank you everybody for giving your opinions.
ResponderEliminarI don't like go shopping but think that it's more interesting to buy in a local high street because there are many different kinds of shpos (in a shopping center the shops are very similar) and if the weather is good, you can meet an acquaintance and have a coffee. I think it's a closer atmosphere.
ResponderEliminarIn general,I don´t like shopping but ,many times, it,s very neccesary. For instance to buy food and clothes. Anyway I prefer to buy in local small shops before than to buy in big hypermarkets. But it,s only my opinion, one more.

ResponderEliminarGood morning! I prefer shopping in a local high street more than in a shopping center. In these centers, shops are quite similar. In fact, in Spain, all these shops belong to the same owner. But it is not the issue at this moment. In local highg street shops, you can find fashionable items, not seen before. Moreover, I prefer contributing to local bussiness. Sometimes, they keep their prices higher, not always reachable...
