Task 1. Read and translate the text

When we want to buy something, we go to a shop. There are many kinds of shops in every town or city, but most of them have a food supermarket, a department store, men's and women's clothing stores, grocery, a bakery and a butchery.

I like to do my shopping at big department stores and supermarkets. They sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient. A department store, for example, true to its name, is composed of many departments: readymade clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods, toys, china and glass, electric appliances, cosmetics, linen, curtains, cameras, records, etc. You can buy everything you like there.

There are also escalators in big stores which take customers to different floors. The things for sale are on the counters so that they can be easily seen. In the women's clothing department you can find dresses, costumes, 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 perfumery they sell face cream and powder, lipstick, lotions and shampoos.

In a food supermarket we can also buy many different things at once: sausages, fish, sugar, macaroni, flour, cereals, tea. At the butcher's there is a wide choice of meat and poultry. At the bakery you buy brown and white bread, rolls, biscuits.

Another shop we frequently go to is the greengrocery which is stocked by cabbage, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots, beetroots, green peas and what not. Everything is sold here ready-weighed and packed. If you call round at a dairy you can buy milk, cream, cheese, butter and many other products.

The methods of shopping may vary. It may be a self-service shop where the customer goes from counter to counter selecting and putting into a basket what he wishes to buy. Then he takes the basket to the check-out counter, where the prices of the purchases are added up. If it is not a self-service shop, and most small shops are not, the shop-assistant helps the customer in finding what he wants. You pay money to the cashier and he gives you back the change.

Task 2. Read and translate the dialogue

A-	- Excuse me, I bought this colour TV here last week and I'm not satisfied with the picture. I'd like to have my money back, please.
B-	- I'm sorry, sir, but I'm afraid we don't give refunds. May I see your receipt? We can give you a credit note for this amount, sir, or you can exchange it for something of equal value.
A-	- All right, I'll take the exchange.
B-	- Actually, sir, you are very lucky. We' ve got a sale this week. We have some really great bargains. Now this Zandy 3000 is a great deal. It's 40 per cent off the normal retail price. It has remote control and it has a one year guarantee.
A-	- It still seems expensive to me.
B-	- No, no, sir, that's a fantastic price. It's cheap, believe me. We've sold hundreds of them and this, I believe, is the last one.
A-	- The last one? O.K. I'll take it. How much extra do I owe?
	- Just 125 pounds. -
A-	And can I pay by credit card or would you prefer a cheque? -
B-	- Credit card will be fine, thank you.
