Text 1.
SHOPPING
• When we want to buy something, we go to a shop. There are many
kinds of shops in every town or city, but most of them have a food
supermarket, a department store, men’s and women’s clothing stores,
a grocery, a bakery and a butchery.
• I like to do my shopping at big department stores and supermarkets.
They sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient.
• A department store, for example, true to its name, is composed of
many departments: ready-made clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods,
toys, china and glass, electric appliances, cosmetics, linen, curtains,
cameras, records, etc. You can buy everything you like there. There
are also escalators in big stores which take customers to different
floors.
• The things for sale are on the counters so that they can be easily
seen. In the women’s clothing department you can find dresses,
costumes, blouses, skirts, coats, beautiful underwear and many other
things.
• In the men’s clothing department you can choose suits, trousers,
overcoats, ties, etc. In the knitwear department one can buy sweaters,
cardigans, short-sleeved and long-sleeved pullovers, woolen jackets.
In the perfumery they sell face cream and powder, lipstick, lotions and
shampoos.

• In a food supermarket we can also buy many different
things at once: sausages, fish, sugar, macaroni, flour,
cereals, tea. At the butcher’s there is a wide choice of
meat and poultry. At the bakery you buy brown and white
bread, rolls, biscuits.
• Another shop we frequently go to is the greengrocery
which is stocked by cabbage, potatoes, onions,
cucumbers, carrots, beet-roots, green peas and what not.
Everything is sold here ready-weighted and packed. If you
call round at a dairy you can buy milk, cream, cheese,
butter and many other products.
• The method of shopping may vary. It may be a selfservice shop where the customer goes from counter to
counter selecting and putting into a basket what he
wishes to buy. Then he takes the basket to the check-out
counter, where the prices of the purchases are added up.
If it is not a self-service shop (and most small shops are
not), the shop assistant helps the customer in finding what
he wants. You pay money to the cashier and he gives you
back the change.
