Write a paragraph with the topic below. (100-150 words)
Describe your favourite shopping place
Whenever I want to buy clothes, I would go to my favourite shopping place – a modern
shop called Dshine. The shop has a wide entrance with automatic doors, which make it easy for
customers to enter. On the left, there is a payment counter near the exit. The counter supports
various payment methods like contactless, card swipes, and mobile wallets. It also has one
screen for the cashier and another for the customers to view their bills and payment details. In
the middle of the shop, the clothing is neatly hung on wooden sturdy racks. Their designs are
trendy and seasonally updated. They are paired with QR codes on clothing tags for detailed
product information. On the right, there are fitting rooms equipped with soft, adjustable lighting
and smart mirrors. Near the fitting rooms, it has comfortable benches for customers to wait and
relax. Because of its modernity, Dshine is always a one-stop destination every time I want to go
shopping.
