Hello, Maria, this the correct way to phrase your letter. I didn't understand some of the phrasing you used, but I hope it's what you're looking for. "Thanks for your letter, I'm so glad to hear from you. I hope you and your family are well. First of all, I want to know in the the next letter what you had bought, after I told you I don't enjoy shopping, I love the gift! I go shopping once a month, because there's always something I need, however I prefer to go when there are sales as I find less expensive merchandise than I would regularly. My favorite kind of stores are clothes stores or shoe stores, for instance, Zara or Primark. These stores sell all sorts of merchandise such as clothes, shoes and jewelry. The town where I live has many shopping malls but I prefer to go this one strip on the city center that has many famous stores and the most important mall. What kind of stores do you like? Do you prefer a mall or small stores? When you come visit the city I live in, we will visit a famous street and mall; I think you're going to enjoy yourself when you come visit. Write back to me soon. Best wishes, Maria"
