Shopping

 

When we want to buy something, we go to a shop. There are many kinds of shops in every town or city, but most of them have a food supermarket, a department store, men’s and women’s clothing stores, a grocery.

I like to do shopping at big department stores and supermarkets. They sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient.

A department store is composed of many departments: ready – made clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods, toys, electric appliances, cosmetics, linen, curtains, cameras, records, etc.

The things for sale are on the counters. You pay for your things to the cashier and get your change.
