TRANSCRIPT

Hello there. My name is Rocio and I’m from El Salvador. My question is, are clothing shops cheap in your town? Are clothing shops cheap in my town?

In my town, there are a lot of different options when you buy clothes, but local thrift shops are the most common. They are very cheap and they have a lot of clothes, but the quality may not always be the best. For better quality, you can go to big stores at the mall, but they can be really expensive. Sometimes shops have sales and prices are lower, but it really depends on where you are looking and on the season.

So I’d say that clothes are fairly cheap in El Salvador, but it really depends on the store and on where you are looking.

And you are clothing shops in your town cheap?
