II. Read the passage and answer the questions below. (2ms)

Shopping is a necessary part of life which very few people can avoid. It is a daily routine for some people. Some people shop for pleasure while other people go shopping just to buy the necessary items in order to survive. The weekend is usually a good time to go shopping because people have free time from work. At this time the shops are usually very busy because people try to get the best items for the lowest price before the item runs out of stock.

Some people go shopping more regularly than other people to browse products in shops even when they do not have much money. This is known as window shopping and allows people to plan ahead and save for the things they want to buy in the future or wait for the items to drop in price. Some people spend a lot of time looking for bargains. Some people believe that the more expensive the item, the better the quality, but this is not always true. It is practical to buy items which are affordable, but some people use a credit card or borrow money from the bank so that they can buy the items they really want rather than wait for them.
