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, grocery, a bakery and a butchery. I like to do my shopping at big department stores and supermarkets. They sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient. A department store, for example, true to its name, is composed of many departments: readymade clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods, toys, china and glass, electric appliances, cosmetics, linen, curtains, cameras, records, 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. In the women's clothing department you can find dresses, costumes, blouses, skirts, coats, beautiful underwear and many other things. In the men's clothing department you can choose suits, trousers, overcoats, ties, etc. In the knitwear department one can buy sweaters, cardigans, short-sleeved and long-sleeved pullovers, woolen jackets. In the perfumery they sell face cream and powder, lipstick, lotions and shampoos. In a food supermarket we can also buy many different things at once: sausages, fish, sugar, macaroni, flour, cereals, tea. At the butcher's there is a wide choice of meat and poultry. At the bakery you buy brown and white bread, rolls, biscuits. Another shop we frequently go to is the greengrocery which is stocked by cabbage, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots, beetroots, green peas and what not. 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. I like to go shopping very much. It is one of the best ways to get rid of daily stress.
My Favourite Shop. My name is Helen and I’m 13 years old. I study at the 7th grade of a state secondary school. My family is comparatively small. It’s just me, my parents and our pets. We have two pets: a cat Sally and a hamster Alex. At weekends I often go shopping with my parents. We visit the nearest hypermarket and some other stores in the same building. This hypermarket, which is called “Lenta”, is my favourite shop, because we can find all the necessary things in one place. We buy fresh food, presents, stationery, household appliances and many other items there. We don’t even need to go to the bakery or grocery, as everything can be found in this huge shop. At first sight it reminds a large storage of vital items. Last week we bought swimming suits and sandals for the beach holiday. We also bought a new vacuum-cleaner, as the old one broke down. As you see, hypermarket offers a wide range of products. My parents say that there weren’t any supermarkets and hypermarkets in their childhood. They had to go to several places to buy various products. In my opinion, such stores are simply indispensablein each city or town. They have lots of advantages. First of all, you can buy everything you need at one place. Secondly, hypermarkets often offer discounts or sales opportunities. Thirdly, I like the shopping carts in hypermarkets. They are of great help when we buy lots of things. In the same building there is an exchange booth, a chemist’s, a dry-cleaner’s and a travel agency. In case we have heavy bags, we call a taxi to come and pick us up. Перевод на русский язык: Мой любимый магазин Меня зовут Елена и мне 13 лет. Я учусь в 7 классе средней общеобразовательной школы. Моя семья сравнительно небольшая. В ней всего лишь я, мои родители и наши домашние животные. У нас есть два питомца: кошка Салли и хомяк Алекс. В выходные я часто хожу по магазинам со своими родителями. Мы посещаем ближайший гипермаркет и некоторые другие магазины в том же здании. Этот гипермаркет под названием «Лента» мой любимый магазин, потому что мы в нем можно найти все необходимые вещи сразу. Мы покупаем там свежие продукты, подарки, канцелярские принадлежности, бытовую технику и многие другие предметы. Нам даже не нужно отдельно ходить в пекарню или бакалею, так как все можно найти в этом огромном магазине. На первый взгляд он напоминает большое хранилище жизненно-необходимых предметов. На неделе мы купили там купальники и сандалии для пляжного отдыха. Мы также купили новый пылесос, так как старый сломался. Как видите, гипермаркет предлагает широкий ассортимент продукции. Мои родители говорят, что в их детстве не было супермаркетов или гипермаркетов. Они должны были ходить в несколько мест, чтобы купить различные продукты. На мой взгляд, такие магазины просто необходимы в каждом городе или населенном пункте. У них уйма преимуществ. Прежде всего, вы можете купить все, что нужно в одном месте. Во-вторых, гипермаркеты часто встречаются распродажи и выгодные скидки. В-третьих, мне нравятся тележки в гипермаркетах. Они особенно полезны, когда мы покупаем много продуктов. В этом же здании есть обменный пункт, аптека, химчистка и туристическое агентство. Когда у нас очень тяжелые сумки, мы вызываем такси.
