What are the best places to go shopping in your city?

Amy
1 I often go to a shopping centre at the weekend. There are
two in my city: Eastgate and Bronfield. Eastgate is nearer
2 3 to my house and I can go on foot. Bronfield is further away,
so I usually take the underground. I can also take the
bus there, but it’s slower.
Bronfield is bigger and 1 has better shops. But it is
more crowded than Eastgate (and noisier 2 !),
especially at weekends. They both have cinemas, but the
4 5 screens at Bronfield are bigger and the seats are more
comfortable 3 . The food shops at Bronfield are
4
better (and the food is nicer!).
