1. **What type of things do you like (and hate) shopping for?**
- I enjoy shopping for books, electronics, and home decor because they align with my interests and hobbies. On the other hand, I dislike shopping for clothes and groceries because it can be time-consuming and sometimes overwhelming with too many choices.

2. **Who goes shopping more often in your country, men or women? What do they buy?**
- In many countries, women tend to go shopping more often than men. They often buy a variety of items, including clothing, household goods, and groceries. Men, on the other hand, might shop less frequently but tend to focus on specific items like electronics, tools, and sports equipment.

3. **Is it a good idea for men and women to go shopping together? Why?/Why not?**
- It can be a good idea for men and women to go shopping together as it allows for shared decision-making and can be a bonding experience. However, it might not always be efficient if they have different shopping styles or interests, which could lead to disagreements or frustration.

4. **What was the last thing you bought (not food or drink)?**
- The last thing I bought was a new pair of headphones. I needed them for work and leisure activities like listening to music and watching movies.

5. **Do you prefer shopping online or at a real store?**
- I prefer shopping online because it is convenient, often offers a wider selection, and allows me to compare prices easily. However, for certain items like clothing or furniture, I might prefer shopping at a real store to see and feel the products in person.

6. **Do you prefer shopping alone or with your friends or with your family/mother?**
- I generally prefer shopping alone because it allows me to take my time and make decisions without feeling rushed. However, for certain types of shopping, like buying clothes or gifts, I enjoy the company and opinions of friends or family.

7. **How have shopping trends changed in your country?**
- Shopping trends have changed significantly with the rise of e-commerce. More people are shopping online due to the convenience and variety it offers. Additionally, there has been a shift towards sustainable and ethical shopping, with consumers becoming more conscious of the environmental and social impact of their purchases. The COVID-19 pandemic also accelerated the adoption of online shopping and contactless payment methods.
