Hi Sam ,
Мy name is Antonina . Today I will tell you about my purchase.

When we want to buy something, we must go to the shop where it is sold. In the shop window we see what is sold in the shop.
Sugar, tea, coffee, salt, pepper, ham, bacon, and so on are sold at the grocer’s. Bread is sold at the baker’s, meat at the butcher’s. We go to the greengrocer’s for vegetables and fruit. We buy boots and shoes at the shoeshop. We buy books at the bookseller’s and jewelleryand watches at the jeweller’s.
The salesman or salesgirl stands behind the counter. We ask the salesman: "How much is this?” or "What is the price of that?” He tells us the price. He gives us the bill. At the cashdesk we give the money and the bill to the cashier, who gives us a check and our change. The salesman wraps up the goods and gives them to us. We put them in our bag.
Some shops have many departments. We can buy nearly everything we need there. They are called department stores. In some shops there are no salesmen, but only cashiers. The customers choose the goods they want and pay at the cashdesk. These are called self-service shops. If someone tries to take things from a shop without paying they are almost certain to be caught. Most shops have store detectives who have the job catching shoplifters. Shoplifting is considered a serious crime by the police.

Why didn't you answer my calls yesterday?
- I am sorry. I was very busy yesterday.
- What did you do?
- In the morning I went to university and I had three boring lessons there and a very hard test. Then I wrote several emails to my mother and some of my friends and came back home.
- OK, what did you do next?
- All right, then I was ready to do my homework but Mark called and invited me to go to the cinema with him and his friend Peter. So, I went to the movies.
- I see. What film did you watch?
- It was 'Mission impossible four'. I thought it was interesting.
- Yeah, I liked it too. Did you go home right after the movie?
- No, I didn't. We went to a pub then and I drank some cola and ate some chips there, but the guys drank some beer and ate burgers.
- So, when did you come back?
- I got home at about two o'clock and of course I didn't have time to do my homework. I went to bed straight away. And now I have so much to do.
- OK, I understand. I'll talk to you later.
- Thanks for understanding. OK, I must get back to work. Talk to you soon. Bye.
- Bye. Почему ты вчера не отвечала на мои звонки?
- Прости, я вчера была очень занята.
- Что ты делала?
- Утром я сходила в университет и там у меня было три нудных урока и один тяжелый тест. Потом я написала несколько электронных писем своей маме и некоторым из своих друзей и вернулась домой.
- Хорошо, что ты делала потом?
- Ну, потом я была готова приняться за домашнюю работу, но Марк позвонил и пригласил меня сходить в кино с ним и его другом Питером. Так что, я пошла в кино.
- Понятно. Какой фильм вы смотрели?
- Это был фильм "Миссия невыполнима 4". Я подумала, что он был интересным.
- Да, мне он тоже понравился. Ты пошла домой сразу после кино?
- Нет. Мы потом пошли в паб, и я выпила немного колы и съела чуть жаренной картошки, но ребята пили пиво и ели бургеры.
- Так когда же ты вернулась?
- Я добралась домой около 2 часов и, конечно, у меня не было времени сделать домашнюю работу. Я сразу пошла спать. А сейчас мне столько всего нужно сделать.
- Хорошо, я понимаю. Я поговорю с тобой позже.
за понимание. Ладно, мне пора возвращаться к работе. Скоро пообщаемся. Пока!
- Пока!
