The new shopping mall
Everybody is talking about the new shopping mall. The mall is outside the city. It’s next to the airport.
There are about one hundred stores in the mall. There are two big department stores. There are many clothes stores for men, women"and"children. There’s a very big toy store. There is one shoe store, two drugstores"and"four restaurants. There’s even a movie theatre. Around the mall, there are two gas stations for the cars.
The new shopping mall is now open. But not all the people in the city are happy. There are many small stores in the centre of the city. The owners of these small stores are not happy. There aren’t many people shopping in their stores. They’re shopping at the new mall.
