<span>I
live in an old house. There are many beautiful flowers in front of my house. There is a garden behind it. There is a
doghouse right there near the house. And a lot of trees the
back of the garden.
</span>
I go shopping several
times per week. Nowadays there are so many types of shops — the shopping
center, the hypermarket, the supermarket, the bakery, butchery and
grocery.
I adore shopping centers. I usually do the shopping with my mother or
with my friends. We go to the shopping centers where we can spend hours
in different shops. You can buy any type of clothes there: from
underwear to shoes and coat.
The supermarkets and hypermarkets are very convenient as you can buy
whatever you need at once. There is no more need to go to three
different shops to buy bread, meat and vegetables
. It’s all here.
But still there are those who prefer buying some goods at the
specialized places. For example, they buy fresh bread at the bakery
across the street, and then go to the butcher’s to buy some fresh meat,
and then spend 20 minutes to get to the grocery to buy fresh fruits and
vegetables.
Modern technologies allow doing the shopping without need not only to
get out of the house, but even get out of bed. It concerns not only the
clothing, but also the food. The delivery service is a part of almost
all modern shops and that is extremely convenient. You can spend half an
hour on choosing and ordering the products and then do some other
things and then just receive all that you need. Isn’t that convenient?
So there are so many types of shopping. And one can choose the most
preferable to him.
Перевод:
Я хожу в магазин несколько раз в неделю. В наше время существует так
много видов магазинов — торговый центр, гипермаркет, супермаркет,
пекарня, мясной и продуктовый.
Я обожаю торговые центры. Я обычно хожу по магазинам с моей мамой или с
друзьями. Мы идем в торговый центр, где мы можем провести часы в разных
магазинах. Вы можете приобрести там любой вид одежды: от нижнего белья
до обуви и пальто.
В супермаркетах и гипермаркетах очень удобно, так как вы можете сразу
купить все, что вам нужно. Больше не нужно ходить в три разных магазина,
чтобы купить хлеб, мясо и овощи. Все есть здесь.
<span>Санкт-Петербург часто называют северной столицей России. И в Конституции Российской Федерации он признан городом особого значения. В России всего два города особого значения: Санкт-Петербург и, конечно, Москва. Санкт-Петербург, бесспорно, заслуживает этого статуса.Saint-Petersburg is often called a northern capital of Russia. And it is recognized as a city of special importance by The Russian Constitution. There are only two cities of special importance in Russia – Saint-Petersburg and of course Moscow. No doubt Saint-Petersburg deserves such a status.</span><span><span> Название города менялось несколько раз. Сначала город был назван Санкт-Петербург, но был переименован в Петроград в 1914 году, затем в 1924 году после смерти Ленина городу дали имя Ленинград. В 1991 году городу вернули его старое название Санкт-Петербург.</span>The name of the city changed several times. At first the city was called Saint-Petersburg but it was renamed to Petrograd in 1914. Then in 1924 just after the death of Lenin the city was given the name Leningrad. In 1991 the old name Saint-Petersburg was given back to the city.</span><span><span> Город был основан Петром I в 1703 году. Его основание началось со строительства крепости Петра и Павла, которую теперь называют Петропавловской крепостью. Но эта крепость так никогда и не использовалась в военных целях. Она больше известна как главная тюрьма при Петре I. Сейчас внутри крепости проводят экскурсии, и у Вас есть возможность самим увидеть тюремные камеры восемнадцатого века. История же основания города связана со многими жертвами. Тысячи людей отдали жизни за строительство Санкт-Петербурга. Дело в том, что город строился очень быстро, строительство усложнялось особенностями данной местности. Ведь Петербург фактически расположен на воде. Некоторые люди даже сравнивают его с Венецией, хотя это сравнение не совсем правильное.</span><span>The city was founded by Peter I in 1703. Its foundation started with building of The Fortress of Peter and Pavel which is now called Petropavlovskaya fortress. But the fortress was never used in military aims. It is more famous as the main prison of Peter’s times. They guide some excursions inside the fortress now and you have an opportunity to see the prison cells of the eighteenth century. The history of the city's foundation is connected with lots of victims. Thousands of people gave their lives building Saint-Petersburg. The city was built very quickly and the building was complicated with local area peculiarities. In fact Petersburg is situated on water. Some people even compare it with Venice but such a comparison is not very right.
