　　Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London．We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set．When we got to station, I left my husband and started looking around the shops．Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me．But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself．

　　When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there．So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea．I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him．He looked very happy．Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box．“Oh, dear!”I thought．Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions．We shall not be going to the sales again．
