Doing the
shopping
Shopping usually means going to some place to buy something. It
is a part of our life and we have to accept it whether we like
it or not. There are people who hate shopping, so they usually
make a list of the things they need, run through shops and buy
them. There are people who go from shop to shop choosing goods
at a lower price. For some people shopping is a hobby; they love
shops and they can spend hours in large shopping centres. Such
people are called "shopaholics" because they sometimes buy
things which they do not need and it is like an addiction.
My family usually does the shopping at weekends. My parents work
too hard, so they do not have enough time to do the shopping
during a week. On Sundays we go to a supermarket and buy food
for the whole week. I don't like supermarkets, because there are
crowds of people there. You can buy anything in such
supermarkets: poultry, meat, seafood, dairy products, etc.
There are a lot of different shops in my city, both expensive
and cheap and everyone has a choice where to go. I prefer going
to a big shopping centre not far from my home where there are a
lot of shops and a food court. There are clothes shops, shoe
shops, a florist's, a chemist's, an optician's, a jeweller's and
many others. I usually walk there with my friends doing the
window-shopping.
When I need clothes or books I do the shopping alone. My
favourite bookshop is just in the centre of my city. I can spend
hours inside looking through new books. I also like shopping
when I need to buy presents for my family or friends. Sometimes
my friend helps me to choose presents. She is a nice girl with
good taste and she knows what would be a nice present for my
family.
In childhood, I used to like shopping because I felt grownup,
but now I see that it can be quite boring and time-consuming.
However, we have to go shopping because we need food and other
things that are necessary for our life.
