SHOPPING

 

1. Vocabulary Definitions

When we want to buy things, we usually say we are going shopping. We go to a store (American English) or shop (British English). If it is a group of shops together we might say we are going to the shopping center. If we want to buy food, we may say we are going grocery shopping. A shopping mall is a large group of shops in a covered area in which you can walk around.

The checkout is the place where you pay for what you have bought. Thetill(British English) or cash register (American English) is the machine used to add up how much is spent and give change.

At a supermarket you put your food in a cart known as a shopping cart or trolley.

A receipt is a piece of paper that lists what you bought from a shop and the price.
If you get a bargain, you think something is a cheap or good price.
If you pay in cash, you pay in money in notes and coins.

Look! Shop windows are so bright!

They are coloured, they are light.

Window-shopping says, “Oh, hi!

Would you like to come in and buy?”

 

Shopping

There are different kinds of shops
We visit every day:
The baker’s, the butcher’s,
The greengrocer’s and grocer’s –
We choose the food and pay!
At the baker’s people buy
White and brown bread.
At every table it’s important,
It is called “a head”.
At the butcher’s we can find
Mutton, pork and beef.
Mother always cooks for us
Cutlets, chops, roastbeef!
Then let’s go to the grocer’s
To buy buckwheat, millet, rice.
All the cereals with butter
And with milk are very nice!
Sugar, salt and macaroni,
Noodles, flour and peas
Are in packets on the shelves
Pay the money, buy them, please!
You are also suggested
Buying sausage, bacon, ham,
Bars of chocolate and biscuits,
Coffee, marmalade and jam.
The greengrocer offers you
Carrots, onions, beets and greens
Cauliflower and radish
Cabbage, cucumbers and beans!
Apples, plums, bananas, lemons,
Oranges and tangerines –
All of appetizing colours:
Violet, yellow, red, green.
Enjoy yourselves!

Hippoty hop to the buther’s shop

To buy some meat for Tuesday

Hippoty hop to the green grocery’s shop

To buy some apples for Saturday

Some for you,

Some for me,

Some for sister Sandy.

Texts for reading

A supermarket shopping trip

Diana and Roger Frost are in a large supermarket in Wembley. They shop here every Saturday morning. Their two children are at home with Rosa.

"I’ll get the fruit and you get the vegetables!" Diana tells her husband. Roger puts four small lettuces into his basket. Then he sees some large tomatoes from Holland and some very small cherry tomatoes from Spain. He likes tomatoes very much so he takes both types.

Diana always buys a lot of bananas. They are good value and the children like them. The Frosts have apple and pear trees in their garden so they do not buy any green fruit. They also have a lot of raspberries in their freezer.

"Have you got the potatoes?" Diana asks.

"Yes, English ones - King Edwards!" answers Roger.

"Well, you can get the ham, cheese and olives. I’ll get the butter, milk, yoghurt and pizza bases."

Roger takes a ticket from a small machine and waits for his number. Then an assistant in a white uniform serves him with 200 grammes of Honey Roast ham, 350 grammes of Cheddar cheese and 100 grammes of small, black olives.

Diana is very quick. Her basket is now very full. She has also got a packet of Mozarella cheese for the pizza topping and a large free-range chicken for Sunday lunch. She meets her husband near the bread counter.

They buy two loaves of French bread for the weekend and some large square tin loaves of white and brown bread to put in the freezer.

"Let’s get the ice-cream and go home." Roger says. "Supermarkets aren’t my favourite places!"

"I know!" answers Diana. "You’d like to do all your shopping by computer! There are two more things on my list. We need toothpaste and toilet paper!"

 

Shopping in London

London has many large department stores, which sell everything: shoes and shirts, paper and perfume, fur coats and frying pans. The most expensive department store is Harrods in Knightsbridge. You can buy almost anything in Harrods, and you know you’re getting the best. Twice a year, in January and July, Harrods has a “sale”. Some things are almost half price, and there are thousands of bargains. But on the first days of the sale the shop is very crowded. Some people stand and wait all night so that they can be first in the shop when it opens.

The smartest and most expensive shops are in Knightsbridge, but more people come to Oxford Street, London’s most popular shopping centre. Most of the hundreds of shops sell clothes or shoes. The street is more than a mile long.

There are several big department stores in Oxford Street. The best known are Selfridges, John Lewis and D.H. Evans.

Oxford Street has the most shops, but in some ways King’s Road in Chelsea is more fun. This is where fashionable young Londoners buy their clothes in the many small “boutiques”.

You can buy what you like in the big shops, but the small markets have a lot to offer too. There are several big street markets in London, and many small ones. Some markets open only one day a week. Go to the Portobello Road on Saturday, or to petticoat Lane on Sunday. Covent Garden market is open every day. Come here for antiques, old clothes, hand-made jewellery and many other rather special things.

 

Restaurant in London

 British restaurants are not, unfortunately, famous for their good food… Too often, they offer only sausages and ships, fish and chips – chips with everything in fact! But there are some wonderful surprises in British cooking, especially the many delicious cakes and desserts, and the British certainly enjoy their food. There’s a fantastic variety of restaurants of all nationalities in London.

 Most British families only go to restaurants on special occasions, like birthdays, or wedding anniversaries. The restaurant’s best customers are businessmen, who meet in them to talk business in a relaxed atmosphere away from the telephone. They can eat what they like, because the company pays the bill! But when a boy and girl want to get to know each other better, they often go out to a restaurant together. After all, it’s easier to talk in a quite atmosphere, with soft music, wine and good food.

 For visitors to London, eating out can be fun. Try Rules, in the West End. The traditional menu and décor are just like they were in Queen Victoria’s day, a hundred years ago.

Or take a walk down the King’s Road in Chelsea where there are dozens of small restaurants.

But if you want that special London feeling, go to the Ritz in Piccadilly for tea any afternoon at about half past four. Too expensive? Then try England’s favourite food – fish and chips. Take it away and eat it where you like – in the park, on the bus, or while you walk down the street. That’s what Londoners do!

 

Pubs

Pubs are an important part of life in Britain. People go to the pub to relax, meet friends, and sometimes to do business.

But pubs are not open to everyone, and they are not open all the time. People under the age of 14 cannot go into pubs. And they are only open from about 11 am (“opening time”) until 2.30 pm, and 5.30 pm until 10.30 or 11 pm (“closing time”). When it’s closing time, the barman calls “Time!” or “Time, gentlemen, please!”

You can buy most kinds of drink in a pub: beer, lager, all kinds of wine, spirits, liqueurs, fruit juice and soft drinks. Beer is the most popular drink, and there are many different kinds. You ask for beer by the “pint” (a little more than half a litre) or the “half pint”. When people buy beer they ask for “bitter” (strong beer), “mild” (less strong), or lager. Some people just say the name of the maker: “A half of Double Diamond, please” or “Two halves of Export, please”.
