Shyness is a problem that is common (0) to many people. In (16) fact , according to Mr Zimbardo, a distinguished psychologist at Stanford University, eight (17) out of ten people are reported to (18) have been shy at some (19) time in their lives. Most people (20) who have this condition, suffer feelings of discomfort and anxiety at the (21) thought of meeting others, especially at social gatherings (22) like parties. Keeping away from such situations is not really a solution, of course, and if a shy person can manage to overcome their fears they (23) will gain a feeling of self-satisfaction as (24) well as improving their social life. However, if the case of shyness is severe, when important occasions are missed or a person’s social, educational or professional life is affected, (25) then the label “shyness” is inappropriate. (26) At this stage, it is termed “social phobia”. Those suffering (27) from this condition are very often bright, talented and sensitive people. But feelings of social isolation, resulting (28) in loneliness, can lead to additional problems (29) such as alcohol abuse or addiction to medication. Fortunately, a number of treatments are available and come in the form of individual (30) or group therapy and training. Therefore, a person who has social phobia has an excellent chance of recovery.

My parents go shopping for food to the nearest supermarket nearly every day. We also have a special shopping day when we go to different shops together. It’s Saturday because all members of my family have a day-off. We go to several stores on this day. It can be a grocery, a bakery, a clothes store, a cosmetics store, a pharmacy, a store of electronic appliances and some others.
My favourite shop is a clothes store. I really like shopping for new clothes and shoes. My mum always helps me to choose the right size and the right design.
However, I prefer shopping with my best friends. Not far from the place where I live there is a huge mall with numerous shops, restaurants, an ice-rink, a cinema and entertainment facilities. We often go there for shopping or just to have a good time. It has become our favourite pastime recently. We don’t always buy something but window-shopping can be also fun.
My parents say that in the past there were no big stores like this and sometimes it was difficult to find what you wanted. At the moment I can’t even imagine how people could have lived without shops and goods. I’m glad we have many opportunities for shopping.
