SHOPPING

(Part I)

It's Saturday morning. It's Susan's day off. She is waiting for her friend Ann. They are going to do some shopping. They want to go to the nearest shop, Susan doesn't like supermarkets and big stores. In smaller shops you get personal service.

Shop assistant: Good morning. Miss Bond!

Susan: Good morning, Mr. Davis. This is my friend Ann.

Shop assistant: Glad to meet you. Welcome to my shop. I hope you will like it here and be my customer.

Ann: I hope so, thank you.

Shop assistant: Now, what can I do for you?

Susan: A pound of butter, please, a dozen eggs, half a pound of sugar and a small tin of instant coffee.

Shop assistant: Anything else?

Susan: Yes, I'll have some juice, please. What juice have you got?

Shop assistant: We have pineapple juice, orange juice, mango juice and grapefruit juice.

Susan: Please, three bottles of pineapple juice, and two bottles of grapefruit juice. How much is that?

Shop assistant: Two pounds.

Susan gave the shop assistant a five pound note, got her change and they left the shop. Then Susan and Ann went to the greengrocer's to buy some fruit and vegetables. They bought apples, bananas, tomatoes, and a big bag of potatoes. Then they bought some meat at the butcher's, some bread at the baker's and a bottle of milk at the dairy. Susan goes shopping once a week on Saturday and she likes to have a good store of everything for the next week. 

 

IN THE SHOPPING CENTRE

(Part II)

Next Saturday Susan and Ann decided to go shopping again. So they went to the nearest big shopping centre. It is a big department store where you can buy practically everything. Susan took Ann around and showed her all the departments. First they went to the shoe department where Ann tried on several pairs of sandals and at last bought her style in white that fitted her perfectly and at a reasonable price. They were under two pounds. The two girls then went to the department of ready-made clothes where they sold dresses, skirts, blouses, shirts, sweaters, jackets and so on. But ready-made clothes were very expensive in this shop. The only thing Ann bought for herself was a pair of socks.
