… Guess what! I’m going to have my tooth out. It’s awful! Have you ever had any teeth out? Is it painful? My parents say I need to go to dentist at least twice a year but I’m really afraid of doctors and hospitals and I don’t understand the necessity of going there if you have no pain and aches. What do you think of it? Do you visit your dentist regularly? By the way, I’m going to join a yoga class. Write soon. Best wishes, Andrea

SHOPPING

We live in a consumer society. The streets of our cities are full of advertisements offering to buy a new product of a famous brand. Our TV programs are interrupted by hours of commercialsadvertising new super shops, washing powder and food, and we are ready to spend big sums of money to look more fashionable, to have a cozier house or to eat tastier meals. To tell the truth, shopping has become a vital part of our lifestyle, a hobby or even an addiction.

There are a lot of types of shops: if you want to buy meat you go to a butcher’s, if you want to buy bread you visit a bakery, if you want to buy fruit or vegetables you go to a greengrocer’s, if you need not only food but some cleaning materials as well you choose a supermarket. All items are neatly wrapped and c onveniently displayed on special shelves or racks or kept in refrigerators. You can walk among the rows with a shopping basket or a trolley, choosing things. You can take and study them, put them back and take again later. Nobody tells you to hurry with the shopping. Finally you have to pay at the cashier’s desk.

For many people shopping is a nightmare: the crowds, the queues, walking from shop to shop just for something that matches their new outfit or for a special birthday present. The situation has changed greatly recently with the establishing of huge shopping centers or shopping malls as they are called in the USA. Shopping has become a sort of entertainment for the whole family. Numerous departments with clothes, shoes, perfume, furniture, electrical appliances and toys; restaurants and cafes; cinemas and discos; children’s playgrounds and sport centers provide a family week-end under one roof for all tastes and wallets.

While speaking about shopping, which some people call a waste of time and money, we need to say about ways of payment. You can pay either cash or by credit card. When you buy (or, more formally, purchase) something in a shop, you usually pay for it outright but sometimes you buy on credit. Sometimes you may be offered a discount or a reduction. If you want to return something that you have bought to a shop, you may be given a refund, provided you have a receipt. Never forget to check your change at the cashier’s desk (till) and always ask for a guarantee if it is an electrical appliance.

Follow these simple rules and shopping can become a cure from stress and hectic lifestyle.
