3. Sample Speaking: Describe a store that you enjoy visiting
Refer to the sample Describe a store that you enjoy visiting IELTS Speaking Part 2 Mytourared by teachers at Mytour for effective self-study of IELTS Speaking at home!
There’s a store for clothing that I often visit, not daily but quite frequently for special occasions. I can’t recall its name, but it’s situated around Ly Nam De street.
To provide more details about this place, the clothes there are predominantly made from linen, which is ideal for Vietnam’s hot and humid climate. I appreciate the fabric there; however, the downside is that I have to hand-wash the clothes. Otherwise, the color will fade, and the fabric will lose its quality.
Regarding the garments I usually purchase there, the shop's hallmark is embroidered designs featuring flowers like sunflowers or lotuses and animals like dragonflies or sparrows. The lines are delicate and intricate, which reflects in the slightly higher prices. For items I like, I often wait for one to two months for discounts.
Speaking of designs, the clothes often have generous cuts, which are simple yet the patterns make them distinctive. Some of the pants have slit hems, which is quite uncommon, and I've bought a few pairs because of this.
Overall, among all the clothing stores I've visited, this one stands out as the best place for me to shop, especially when there are discounts. I anticipate more visits in the future.
