SHOPS AND SHOPPINGThere are different kinds of shops. Some of them sell bread. Others

have tea, sugar, coffee, butter, cheese, sausages, meal, and fruit.

When we want to buy something, we take our shopping-bag and go

to a shop. There we can see shop-girls and shop men who sell things.

Many people do their shopping at the market. There the farmers sell

the vegetables and fruit which they grow themselves. They sell meat, milk

and other things too.

Large shops with many departments are department stores. In these

stores we can buy almost all we want. In the windows we see all the things

which they sell there – food, suits, dresses, coats, boots, shoes, radio and

TV sets and many other things.
