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.

   My mum and I prefer to do shopping at big department stores

and supermarkets. They sell various goods under one roof and

this is very convenient.

   A department store, true to its name, is composed of many

departments: ready-made clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods,

toys, electric appliances, cosmetics, curtains, 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. And the

shop-assistants are always nice to you, helping you to make your

choice while buying anything.

   As for me, I like the way I can buy food in the supermarket: I

take a basket and walk around to choose the things I need. Doing

shopping there is like a kind of traveling.

   But most of all I enjoy buying presents for my relatives and

friends on big holidays like Christmas, New Year or Women’s

Day when every shop and supermarket is decorated with

coloured lights, when both customers and shop-assistants are

happy looking forward to wonderful celebrations. I must admit

that doing shopping on such a day is a great pleasure.
