Shopping for food
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].
