There are different kinds of places where we can buy things: bazaar,
mobile shop, boutique, department store, kiosk, market, shopping arcade,
shopping center, stall, supermarket. As usual a department store is divided
into several sections where you can bye everything. They are: haberdashery,
outwear, underwear, knitted goods, perfumery. Here you can see price labels on
the goods on the counters. There is usually a cash drawer where you pay money
for your purchase. If you go to the supermarket there is a great variety of
goods there and there is self-service. You go with a shopping trolley and
choose everything you need among food products, household goods, sanitary
articles. It is a place where you can buy different kind of bread: rolls,
croissants, wafers, gingerbread. As for the food everything is in separate
sections (milk, frozen vegetables, tinned food, spices, sweats, fruits, fish,
meat.
There are many specialized shops where you can find only one item. We
buy furniture in furniture shops, household articles in ironmongers, meat at
the butcher’s, fruit and vegetables at greengrocer’s. if we need a choice of
fish we go to the fishmonger’s, we buy rings, earrings, chains, necklaces at
the jeweler’s, we buy books and magazines in the book shop and wine or
shampagne in off license.
I like going shopping very much
but I don’t have enough time for it. But when I am free I like to go to the
department store and choose some items of clothes or cosmetics. I like gift
shops as you can find pretty things there. Among my favourite shops is
florist’s. when I buy clothes I prefer trying them on, that’s why there should
be a fitting room. I like to go to confectioner’s as I like sweats and at the
market I usually buy fruits: pears, bananas, grapefruit, oranges, apples as
there are a lot of vitamins in them. I’m also fond of footwear and it is
pleasant for me to buy a new pair of boots or shoes. There are a lot of
fashionable models to suit all tastes and age groups but sometimes it is
difficult to find something really comfortable.
