SAMPLE 2
I would prefer to choose Adidas because it is the most popular shoes around and I think wearing it will greatly enhance my prestige. I believe that the shoes are of the highest quality and definitely it is worth buying. Normally, it would cost me more than RM50. However, with the shoes on offer, it is reasonably priced. I would consider buying a pair for my sports practice as I would get a free pair of socks. The MM Shoe Store near my house is having a sale. I would have the chance to choose the colour I want. It would be nice if a few of my friends wear the same brand of shoes for our sports practice.
