Original
If you buy clothes to a shopping mall. Sometimes the stuffs of there they will judge you. They would say something about you shape, clothes even they will say your personality, and I hate this. Yesterday I went shopping with a friend, and her figure is better than mine, and she wore pretty fashionable on that day. But I just wore so common. When we tried the clothes, the stuff couldn’t stop the admire of my friend. She said to my friend:”your figure looks amazing, are you a dancer?” Then my friend told her that she had learned Latin dance for a month, and the staff said that’s why you looked so good. My friend chose one skirt and she decided to buy it, but the skirt’s side was opened too much, so my friend asked them if they had a needle and thread. The staff said they have and gave them to my friend. My friend sewed it by herself then the staff said:” you’re awesome and I couldn’t see you sewed it.” But when I tried the clothes, the stuff’s attitude was different of to my friend. I tried a couples of T-shirts and they were a little big, so she taught me I should tie a knot, but when I tried another one and I couldn’t tie a knot like her then she said if you couldn’t do that just put your clothes under the shirt. When I tried to buy the T- shirt she said you are so diffident and reserved. I felt unhappy and I almost get angry, but I controlled myself and said nothing, that was a terrible experience that I had met.

If you buy clothes in a shopping mall, sometimes the staff there will judge you. They might say something about your shape, clothes, or even your personality, and I hate this. Yesterday I went shopping with a friend, and her figure is better than mine, and she wore pretty fashionable clothes on that day. But I was just dressed plainly. When we tried on the clothes, the staff couldn’t stop admiring my friend. She said to my friend:”your figure looks amazing, are you a dancer?” Then my friend told her that she had learned Latin dance for a month, and the staff said that’s why you look so good. My friend chose one skirt and she decided to buy it, but the skirt’s side was too open, so my friend asked them if they had a needle and thread. The staff said they have and gave them to my friend. My friend sewed it by herself then the staff said:” you’re awesome and I can’t even tell you sewed it.” But when I tried on the clothes, the staff’s attitude was different towards me. I tried on a couple of T-shirts and they were a little big, so she showed me how I should tie a knot, but when I tried another one and I couldn’t tie a knot like her then she said if you couldn’t do that then just tuck your clothes under the shirt. When I tried to buy the T- shirt the saleswoman said you are so shy and reserved. I felt unhappy and I almost got angry, but I controlled myself and said nothing, that was a terrible experience that I met/encountered the other day.
