і

When I want to buy something, I go4o the shop. Every day I go shopping. I buy some food at food shops and different things at department stores. A big supermarket has several different stores. I can buy there nearly everything I need.

Bread is sold at the baker's, meat at the butcher's, vegetables at the greengrocer's, fruit at the fruiterer's. Cakes and sweets are sold at the confectioner's. We buy books at the bookseller's.

A department store is composed of many departments. Ready-made clothes, textiles, footwear, sports goods, china and glass, perfumery, hosiery, jewelry etc. 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. A salesman or a salesgirl stands behind the counter. The cashier sits at the cash-desk. Customers go up to the counter, then they go to the cash-desk.

In the women's clothing department you can find dresses, costumes, blouses, skirts, coats and many other things. In the men's clothing department you can choose suits, trousers, ties etc. In the knitwear department one can buy sweaters, cardigans, short-sleeved or long-sleeved pullovers, woolen jackets. In the perfumery they sell face creams, powders, lipsticks

and shampoos.

t

In the food supermarket we can also buy many different things^ at once: sausages, fish, sugar, cereals and tea. At the butcher's there is a wide choice of meat and poultry. At the bakery you can buy brown and white bread, cookies and biscuits.

Another shop we frequently go to is the greengrocer's which is stocked by cabbage, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots and green peas. 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 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 the salesman helps the customer in finding what he wants.

SHOPPING IN ENGLAND

All cities and towns have a shopping center, where most of the shops are situated. In large cities many of these separate shops are combined to form a department store where the shopper can buy almost all he needs under one roof. The big stores started in America and the idea was brought to England by Gordon Selfridges about fifty years ago. Selfridges's is still one of the biggest stores in London as well as Harrods. The department stores, which sell the cheaper kinds of goods in London, are Woolworth's and Marks and Spencer's. Branches of these stores are situated in almost every city in Britain. There are two of them in Oxford Street and you are likely to visit them-The important thing about shopping in England is to decide exactly what you want and how much you are prepared to pay

before going into the shop. Shop-assistants are specially trained in advertising. Many shops have retained their old looks, but not their old prices, which go up steadily.

At times big department stores in Britain hold the so-called bargain sales, that is, they sell goods at reduced prices. These are not real price reductions, however. In many cases the goods offered to the customer are sub-standard, out of fashion or out of season. But what the department store loses during the bargain sales, it returns by raising prices for other goods.

The store is divided into departments: women's clothes, men's clothes, shoes, hosiery, toys, sports goods, leather goods, china and glass, food and so on. Sometimes there is a tearoom and a restaurant as well. There is a room where you can write letters, and a post office to post them. You will also find a room where you can rest if you are tired. There are men's and women's hairdressers and an office where you book seats for the theatre or arrange to travel anywhere in the world. If you are with someone who does not want to do shopping, leave him at one of these places to have a rest or to watch people go by. Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street are rightly considered the shopping streets in London. Though Chelsea, the King's Road in particular, is still a great favorite for the young because they can find all the latest fashions at various price levels. Most shops in London are open from 9 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. from Monday to Saturday although a few close on Saturday afternoons.

Text С

The shops that are most characteristically American are the "drugstores" and the "supermarkets". Л "drugstore" is not, as an Englishman might think, a "chemist's shop", i.e. a place that sells only or mainly drugs. In some of them you can buy drugs, but their main business is to sell stationary, candy, milk shakes, ball-point pens, ice-creams, toasters and imitation jewelry. Every drugstore has a food counter where you can sit on a high stool and have Coca-Cola, orange juice, hot dogs, cakes and sandwiches.

There are "supermarkets" in England but the ones in America are much bigger; some covering 40,000 square feet are very common, and they have huge car parks where the cars of a thousand customers can be parked. Nearly 50% of the groceries sold in America are sold in the supermarkets. You just help

yourself as you walk pushing a wire basket on wheels that is

, provided to hold the goods you want to buy. At the exit

the assistant will take the goods you have chosen from the wheel

basket, add up the cost and take your money in payment for

I the goods.
