Every year, just after Christmas, the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks they are full of people looking for bargains.

Last year, however I took my husband with me to the sales at a large department store in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a portable television set. When we arrived at Oxford Street, it was so crowded that we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops.

Unfortunately, all the clothes were not suitable for me, but I bought a television set at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself. When I arrived at the station my husband was not there , so I sat down in a nearby café to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw him and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw him carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh dear!” I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but we had two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.
