Shopping

 

It’s difficult to imagine our life without shops. Every day we do shopping. There are different kinds of shops. They are butcher’s, baker’s, greengrocer’s where we buy meat, bread, different fruit and vegetables or clothing shops where different clothes can be bought. Nowadays supermarkets and department stores are becoming more popular where people can reserve time and find a necessary good. Some people go to the market. As for me I prefer going to the market because I am a poor student, but I have many friends who prefer the department store to a market. I’d like to tell you about my neighbour. He prefers Department store, where there are many departments in it. The shop sells all kinds of goods for both men and women and it has many departments. In every department there is a good selection of goods. It takes a little time to buy a necessary thing. All these goods are of good quality and so they are very expensive. My friend adores doing shopping in the department store. As for me I dislike this shop. The service leaves much to be desired. I think that shop assistants must help to choose good things. As I don’t have much money I have to go to the market. On the one hand, market goods are cheaper, on the other hand I am not sure in their quality. To tell the truth I don’t like to go shopping. My mother or grandmother do shopping in my family. They do their shopping at the market because goods are always fresh and not expensive here. They buy all necessary food. But sometimes I have go to the shop if my relatives are very busy. I take a bag and go to the nearby shop. Advertisements play a very important role in our life. They often help me to make my choice. At first I read advertisements in newspapers or watch them on TV and then go to the shop. To my mind advertisements are a good adviser. We can discuss this topic very long because shops are essential part of our life.
