Polished transcript:

Male Female

I frequently go shopping, actually. It can be more than five times a month. Because I'm the type of person who enjoys making impulsive decisions and buying things on impulse without thinking about it. Even if I don't really need it, I can buy it. So shopping is kind of like therapy for me. And I really enjoy shopping because the things I buy are mostly clothes and shoes, and I feel really satisfied after buying them.
