The topic of this project is SHOPPING. Each group should create a video file which contains one or more scenarios about shopping (e.g. gift shopping and clothing shopping) and establish conversations based on these scenarios. If there is one scenario in your video, this scenario should present a complete story. If there is more than one scenario in your video, these scenarios should be well organized and connected logically. And all of these scenarios should present a complete story.
The expressions and structures about shopping which we have learned should be used in your conversations. Please use Chapter 7 and 8 as your references. The following information should be presented by your dialogues (you can add more)
