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.

There are also escalators in big stores which take

customers to different floors.

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,

woollen 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.

The methods of shopping may vary.

It may be a selfservice shop where the customer

goes from counter to counter selecting and putting

into a basket what he wishes to buy.

You pay money to the cashier and he gives you

back the change.
