                                   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 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 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, woollen 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, beetroots, green peas and
what not. Everything is sold here ready-weighed and packed. If you call
round at a dairy you are sure to buy milk, cream, cheese, butter and many
other products.
      The method of shopping may vary. It may be a self-service 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.
