Shoping
(I) There are many shops and supermarkets in our city. They
are Zangar, Ardager, Ramstor, Smat, Resey, Astana etc.
My
family has a shopping day. It is Saturday. We get up early this day.
Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. My
father and I usually go to Ramstor because it is near to our house. In
the morning we ask our mother what we need. We take bags and go to the
shop. First of all we go to the butcher’s store. We buy sausage, meat,
fish, and eggs there. In the baker’s store we buy sweets, cakes, rolls
and buns. In the greengrocer’s store we buy fresh vegetables and fruit
such as carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, apples, lemons.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Last week we had our mother’s
birthday. We prepared everything for this holiday: we bought food and a
present for her. We wanted to make her happy. She is a woman of taste,
so we bought a perfume. She was very pleased and thanked for our
shopping. Shoping (II) 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, 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'’
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, beetroots, green peas and what not. Everything is sold here
ready-weighed and packed. If you call round at a dairy you can buy milk,
cream, cheese, butter and many other products. The methods 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 its 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. But there is a very good service
called Postal Market. It really helps you to save you time and get goods
of high quality. You have just to look through a catalogue, choose the
things you like, order them and wait a little to get them.
