TASK 1. Read, translate and retell the text "Shopping"

Shopping is the examining of goods or services from retailers with the intent to purchase at that time. Shopping is an activity of selection and/or purchase. In some contexts it is considered a leisure activity as well as an economic one. Shopping is an important part of every man's life. Now when people can't make everything they need, they buy everything they need for work and leisure.

There are many types of shops one can go to. The most important division is between small shops and large department stores and supermarkets. There are many types of small shops specializing in certain goods. But there are places where you can buy almost everything - supermarkets and department stores. Department stores are places intended for those who want a wide choice of consumer goods, but not food usually. They sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient. A department store, for example, true to its name, is composed of many departments: ready-made clothes, fabrics, foodstuffs, shoes, sports goods, toys, china and glass, electric appliances, cosmetics, linen, curtains, cameras, records, etc. You can buy everything you like there. There are also escalators in big stores which take customers to different floors. The things for sale are on the counters so, that they can be easily seen.

In the women's clothing department you can find dresses, costumes, 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, woolen jackets. In the perfumery they sell face cream and powder, lipstick, lotions and shampoos. In a food supermarket we can also buy many different things at once: sausages, fish, sugar, macaroni, flour, cereals, tea. At a department store one can buy knitted goods, hosiery (socks, stockings and tights), underwear. Women like to visit such departments as clothes shops, footwear shops, bookshops, fabric shops, jewellery shops, millinery, haberdashery, makeup and perfumes departments and china departments. Men enjoy looking at the items in stationery departments and instruments departments. There are shops specializing in coffees or teas.

The methods of shopping may vary. It may be a self-service shop where the customer goes from counter to counter selecting and putting into a basket what he wishes to buy. Then he takes the basket to the check-out counter, where the prices of the purchases are added up. If its not a self-service shop, and most small shops are not, the shop-assistant helps the customer in finding what he wants. You pay money to the cashier and he gives you back the change. But there is a very good service called Postal Market. It really helps you to save you time and get goods of high quality. You have just to look through a catalogue, choose the things you like, order them and wait a little to get them.
