Nowadays most people do their shopping at the supermarkets. However, some time ago there used to be few supermarkets, and customers used to buy their food in small shops. First I will tell you a story about the past, then – about my own shopping expedition.

Well, a story of a woman at the butcher’s shop. One day Mary took her shopping list and went to the butcher’s. She said: “Hello! Two pounds of sausages, please, and some best pork.” The butcher cut off some sausages and wrapped them first in white and then in brown paper. Then he said: “And I have a very nice piece of pork here. Have a look.”

“That looks very good. How much is it?”

“Well, four pounds. So, that comes to eight pounds with the sausages. Is that all right?”

“Yes, thank you.”

“Anything else?” the butcher said hopefully.

“Not today. Thank you very much.”

The man tied up the parcel and gave it to Mary.

This is what shopping was like before. Now I will tell you what shopping is like in my family. My mother, father and I usually go to supermarket [NAME]. First, we visit greengrocer’s department where we usually choose a kilo of red apples, half a kilo of fresh tomatoes, a small container of green vegetables, etc. Then we walk to the dairy department and take a bottle of milk, a carton of sour cream, four or six cartons of yoghurt, a piece of cheese and … . After that we go to … . Finally, we visit … .

After we have chosen everything what we need, we pay for the food and go home.
