What Do Shops Offer?
When we want to buy something, we go to a shop. Although every town or city
has many kinds of shops, many of these are typical: a supermarket, a department
store, men's and women's clothing stores, a grocer's, a baker's, a greengrocer's,
a dairy and a butcher's.
Alexander's family like to do their shopping at big department stores and
supermarkets. These sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenien
A department store, for example, true to its name, consists of many departments:
ready-made clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods, toys, china and glass, electrical
appliances and electronics, cosmetics, linen, curtains, books, gifts, jewellery etc.
You can buy anything you like there.
There are also escalators in big stores which take customers to different
floors. The goods for sale are on the counters so that they can be easily seen.
In the women's clothing department you can find dresses, suits, 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 cosmetic department they sell perfume, face
creams and powders, lipsticks, lotions, shower gels, soap, shampoos . ..
In the supermarket we can also buy many different things in the same location:
meat and sausages, fish, sugar, pasta, flour, cereals, tea, coffee, bread and whatnot.
At the butcher's there is a wide choice of meat and poultry. At the baker's you can
buy white or brown bread, rolls and biscuits.
Another shop we frequently go to is the greengrocer's, which is stocked with
cabbage, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots, beetroots, green peas and various
fruits. 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 milk products.
