I should say that I am one of those boys who hate shopping and the idea (of/about) doing the shopping drives me mad, though, of course, I like delicious food and nice clothes. It means somebody has to do it (to/for} you. In our family it's my mother's responsibility. She knows what to buy and where to buy (for/at} a cheaper price. Mostly, she does it accompanied by father (at/on) the supermarket, where they go to the grocery department, the greengrocery, the meat and fish counters and buy all the stuff we need for our large family. They usually do it once (in/-) a week.
I live in a small town, so there are not many shops here, to say nothing of supermarkets. Most shops are situated (in/at} the centre of the town and there is a two-storeyed department store (in/on) the central square and it is always overcrowded. The market is opposite the department store and people, mostly women and girls, go there to shop but (in/to) my opinion they more often go to look (on/at) the things than to buy. I don't understand this kind of pastime.
As I have said I am not keen (at/on) shopping at all and when my parents ask me to buy something, I am always reluctant to do it. From time to time I have to go to a department store when we need to buy some clothes or shoes (for/to) me. I hate trying things (-/on) in a fitting-room. Most of all I like book and music shops. I can stay there (for/-) hours leafing (about/through) pages of some historical books or going (through/across) piles of CDs or records. These shops are worth visiting even if you don't intend to make a purchase there as they offer a wide selection of books (on/in) music. But regular shopping is really boring and tiresome.
4. Tell your friend about your attitude to shopping. Use the word combinations and phrases given below:
I should say; hate/like shopping; to be one’s responsibility; to do shopping from time to time/regularly; to do shopping reluctantly/willingly; to prefer smth to smth; to be worth visiting/buying smth; to have a wide/poor selection of smth.
