Set B

            The Jusco Tebrau City Shopping Complex was having its annual sale again and news of this sale was spreading like wild fire. Everyone was excited because during sales, the people were able to get branded clothing for half its original price or even lesser. Siti and her two sisters Aminah and Aini were looking forward to this sale. They did not want to miss the opportunity of a good bargain. They left their home at around nine o’clock. They wanted to be there early.

            At the sale, they bought some T-shirts and pants for themselves. Siti also used the money she had saved up to buy her mother a beautifully embroidered baju kurung as a birthday gift.

            After an hour of shopping, the girls went over to the food court to had their lunch. The scrumptious food in the food court managed to satisfy their tastebuds. Then Siti bought Banana Split ice cream for all. It was her treat. They went home shortly after lunch.
