Bonjour à tous,
je suis en terminale et notre prof d'anglais veut que l'on réponde a ces questions en un paragraphe de 250 mots : What kind of shopper are you? Would you participate to the Black Friday or the Buy Nothing Day?
Si vous pouviez me donner vos avis et vos corrections,ce serait vraiment génial.
Merci pour vos réponses.
To my mind, I’m not addicted to shopping, but to tell the truth, I would rather participate to the Black Friday than to a Buy Nothing Day. Actually I’m not use to spend all my money in clothes or electronic devices but sometimes I would rather indulge myself by buying what I like such as a nice pair of shoes, a beautiful coat or a new smartphone than save up my money for the future. In fact I prefer save up money for a long time and then buy exactly what I wanted than spend directly the money a have to buy things I don’t really want or need. If I would rather participate to the black Friday, it’s because I like to make bargains and acquire items at a lower retail prices. Even if I know that I can make bargains even bigger at a Buy Nothing Day, I won’t go there’ cause I don’t want pre-owned items. Even if it’s good for the sustainable development I won’t be completely satisfied with a pre-owned item. Usually, I limit myself to only buy items that are on sale because it is to me a save up of money and it makes me feel that I got myself a really good deal from the sale at the store. When I make shopping, it’s commonly with friends and it’s more a leisure activity than a duty. To conclude, even though I like to make bargains, as well as I am concerned it isn’t a problem to pay a bit more expensive for a quality item than to pay cheaper but get a poor quality article.

If I am not mistaken, I thought Buy Nothing Day meant to spend 24 hours without spending at all, without buying any stuff at all _even pre-owned items_

You're right about the buy nothing day, it wasn't clear un my text. Is it better now with the word "saving" ?
Thank you again

Bonsoir..
'make bargains' ne se dit pas - 'get' est mieux
