Shopaholic

Do you enjoy shopping? This week we had a conversation about shopping in my intermediate classes. I was surprised to find out that many people said that they enjoy shopping when they have stress because it makes them happy.  Some people enjoy shopping after my English class because they try so hard and shopping is their reward! Are you a shopaholic? A shopaholic is a person that is addicted to shopping! Not me! Some people enjoy window shopping because it doesn`t cost any money.  However, I don`t enjoy window shopping because it reminds me that I don`t have any money!
