Shops!

A few of us haven’t been to City Plaza therefore it was an eye-opening and pleasant experience for us. Our first impression of City Plaza was that it was an old place and we assumed that the shopping mall were for middle-aged shoppers. When we went window shopping we were amazed that the place actually sold clothes for teenagers too. The place was very quiet and there weren’t a lot of shoppers there. We went to numerous shops and we saw many different types of clothing. Though the type of clothing wasn’t what we expected and liked, we didn’t complain about it because we knew that people have different tastes and choices for the type of clothes they would like to wear. Shopping with our guy classmates was quite interesting and amusing because we could see how they shopped for clothes. We were confident that we would be able to persuade the shop owners in allowing us to help them in their business. Unfortunately one after another the shops denied our requests to assist them. We felt disappointed and demoralized by it but we persevered. The other group helped us as well and we were motivated. Although we got rejected a couple of times, we were still polite to them. In the end, Luela, Boutique Inn as well as Universe Fashion were the three shops that accepted our help.Team work played an important role in this activity as without it one would not be able to complete the task assigned to them. Most of the shop owners were Chinese and they could only speak Mandarin so it was hard for me to understand because I can’t speak Mandarin. It was hard for me to overcome that challenge but I asked my friends what the shop owners meant and I managed to thank the owners in Chinese. I hope that we can help the shop owners advertise their products so more shoppers will come and buy from them. After collecting all the information we went to Mr Pan and we showed him all the pictures we took as well as told him about the problems we faced. We then headed home feeling tired but we were happy that we succeeded in our project.
