They’re all at the mall.

After school, a lot of young people go to the mall. We decided to talk to some students about why they go there.

Interviewer: Why do you go to the mall?

Yu Yue: I go to the mall because my friends hang out there. But I don’t really like it.

Interviewer: Oh? Why not?

Yu Yue: The air isn’t fresh. I prefer being outside. Also it’s usually crowed.

Interviewer: And how about you?

Li Jun: Oh, I love the mall. There’s always something happening. There are a lot of free concerts there. It’s also just fun to watch people.

Hu Peng: I like the mall, too. I like to go in the music store and listen to CDs. I also like to look at books in the bookstore.

Yu Yue: Well, when I go into stores I always spend too much money!
