In many countries around the world, shopping has turned into a form of entertainment rather than a way of getting what people need. Discuss the reason for this trend. Is it a positive or negative development?

Hope this letter finds you in radiant health and the best of spirits. My joy knew no bounds I read that you are coming to visit me. It was a very pleasant surprise to hear from you after such a long time. My family consists of my parents, my grandparents and one younger brother. They are very excited about your visit. It is very generous to ask about what present they would like from you. Believe me Sam, your presence here would be the best gift for them. As far as material things are concerned, nowadays everything is available in India. Therefore, please don’t bother yourself. It would be great if you can send me your detailed itinerary so I can plan your best holiday. As you know, India has a rich background in historical places and I would like you to visit as much as possible. there is a Taj Mehal in Agra which is a must-see than the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the temple of South Indian, the beaches of Goa, the backwater of Kerala are all awaiting you. Luckily, there is a summer break approaching so I shall be completely at your disposal. Moreover, I am excited about your visit. We shall have a great holiday together and revive some of our nostalgic memories which we have spent together in Humber college. There will be lots of fun and frolic as well as I will make your holidays memorable and cherishable. Hope to see you soon. Your loving friend, James
