All people can be divided into shopaholics and those who hate shopping. I definitely fall into the second category, but as we all know shopping is a pressing necessity. I do little shopping during the week because I’m usually busy studying. If I do go somewhere to buy some food it’s within walking distance from my home. For instance, I occasionally go to the butcher’s to buy some meet or to the greengrocer’s for some vegetables. I sometimes go to the chemist’s if I need some medicine.
I try to do most of the shopping at the weekend when I have plenty of time. I usually go to a supermarket where I can buy not only food by also household goods such as cleaning products. I always make a shopping list not to forget anything. Among the items on my list are bread and bakery, cereals, meat and dairy products, fruit vegetables, drinking water and juice. As you can see it’s rather long, so if you asked me if I’m a «basket-person» or a «trolley-person» I would take a shopping cart and go down the aisles. When I’m done with everything on the list, I head for the till and pay for my purchase. When I don’t want to spend time doing the shopping myself I can have food delivered to my place. I choose what I need from an online catalogue; place my order on the site and wait for a courier to deliver it.
If I need some clothes I go shopping in a department store or a shopping centre because they offer good value. I never go to boutiques or upmarket shops because they are rather pricy and I can’t afford them. I often go shopping online. There are great benefits of shopping online. Competition is high, so there are always great sales and promotions. You also save time by shopping online.
So, that’s practically all about my going shopping. As I’ve already said I hate it. And you?
Friends should be treasured, as well as family. If they don't understand you, they don't hear you at home, you can always turn to a friend. He will save you, support you. You will always be a special person for him, just as he is for you. Think how great it is to have your best friend by your side! So, one more soul mate in the world. And vice versa: without a best friend, you feel lonely and restless. The best friend is like oxygen, without which it is impossible to live.
перевод :Друзьями надо дорожить, так же, как семьей. Если тебя не поймут, не услышат дома — ты всегда сможешь обратиться к другу. Он тебя, поддержит. Ты всегда будешь для него особым человеком, так же, как и он для тебя. Подумай, как здорово иметь рядом лучшего друга! Значит, одной родной душой на свете больше. И наоборот: без лучшего друга ты чувствуешь себя одиноким и неприкаянным. Лучший друг — словно кислород, без которого невозможно жить.
