. Camp-site: a place for setting up tents: Do you know a good camp-site where I go on holidays?
. Shopping: the activity of going to shops/storesand buying things: In general, men don`t like shopping.
. Shopping centre (Br)/ (shopping) mall (Ame): a group of shops/stores built together: There`s a new shopping centre/mall near my house.
