When we want to buy something, we go to a shop. Although every town or city has many kinds of shops, many of these are typical: a supermarket, a department store, men`s and women`s clothing stores, a grocer`s, a baker`s, a greengrocer`s, a diary and a butcher `s.

Alexander `s family like to do their shopping at big department stores and supermarkets. These sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient. A department store, for example, true to its name, consists of many departments: ready-made clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods, toys, china and glass, electrical appliances and electronics, cosmetics, linen, curtains, books, gifts, jewellery etc. You can buy anything you like there.

There are also escalators in big stores which take customers to different floors. The goods for sale are on the counters so that they can be easily seen. In the women`s clothing department you can find dresses, suits, 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 cosmetic department they sell perfume, face creams and powders, lipsticks, lotions, shower gels, soap, shampoos…

In the supermarket we can also buy many different things in the same location: meat and sausages, fish, sugar, pasta, flour, cereal, tea, coffee, bread and whatnot.

At the butcher`s there is a wide choice of meat and poultry. At the baker`s there is a wide choice of brown or white bread, rolls and biscuits.

Another shop we frequently go to is the greengrocer `s, which is stocked with cabbage, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots, beetroots, green peas and various fruits. Everything is sold here ready-weighed and packed.

If you call round at a diary, you can buy milk, cream, cheese, butter and many other milk products.
