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.
I like all holidays. But everyone of them can be made upset, except one. It’s
the New Year. New Year is a holiday for everyone. The people all over the world
welcome the new year at one moment, that’s why I think it’s the most uniting
holiday in the world, because in this moment every person can say that he loves
everyone. I think it is an international holiday.
But in different countries the New Year is celebrated in different days, for
example it can be celebrated on the 1st of September or . Also I’ve heard that
from 2001 year the New Year will be celebrated on the 1st of March by all
countries all over the world. As for me, I think that it was a right
resolution.
There are lots of New Year traditions in Russia. In every home there is a New
Year tree glittering in colored lights and decorations. Children always wait
for Father Frost to come and give them a present. Many people consider a New
Year to be a family holiday. But most of the young prefer to spend the New Year
there own having parties. As for me I prefer to see the New Year with my
family, because I meet these New Years last times with my family and after some
years I’ll spend it on my own. I must spend as much time as possible with my
family because in some years I’ll have to leave them to begin my own life and
<span>these holidays may be the last.
