Listening

Listen to the description of the shopping centre.

Let me tell you about my local shopping centre. The clothes shop is beside the shoe shop, on the ground floor. Above the food court, there's a cinema on the top floor. Below the shopping centre, there's a large car park. The bookshop is opposite the toy shop, so you can see both from the escalator. The pharmacy is near the main entrance, just a few steps away. When it's raining, everyone stays inside the shopping centre, but on sunny days, people prefer sitting outside in the square.
