Shopping

Going shopping is a part of our everyday life. Some people hate doing shopping, for them it’s a boring chore, an everyday routine. Others love shopping. They take pleasure in window shopping, spend hours in different stores in search of a bargain or just looking around. Some people even become shopaholics, they make purchases when they are in a bad mood to cheer up and can end up buying lots of unnecessary  things.

There are many types of shops in every city or town, such as a department store, a food supermarket, women's and men's clothing shops, grocery, butchery and bakery.

Supermarkets use different techniques to make customers buy more than they have planned. The music, the smells the arrangement of products, the reductions, all have one goal - to get as much money as possible out of our pockets. I can give you a few tips on how to avoid spending too much. First of all always make a shopping list and follow it, secondly, never go shopping on an empty stomach and limit the time spent in shops to a minimum.

As for me, going shopping is always an interesting experience. I find shopping a pleasant pastime when you can afford to buy the things you like. When I need to purchase something, I go to a supermarket, to a department store or to the market. It depends on what I need to purchase. If I am going to buy food products, I go to the supermarket or to the nearest food store. I like doing my shopping at supermarkets because they provide a wide variety of goods at reasonable prices. I like shopping for clothes. For me it’s a pleasant pastime or even entertainment. I enjoy window shopping, and just looking around. It is always pleasant to buy something new.

In our family our mother does most of the shopping. She knows what to buy and where to buy at a cheaper price. 

To tell you the truth I like going shopping. Nowadays shopping represents an integral part of our living as for many people it’s not just a need but also a great pleasure.

Sightseeing in London

London offers the visitors a great variety of fascinating places. It’s a city of dream to everybody who is interested in history and culture. London is full of things to see and do with superb shopping and world famous sights.  Traditionally London is divided into several parts: the City, Westminster, the West End and the East End.
The heart of London is the City. It is the oldest part of London. You can visit some interesting places there. One of them is the Tower of London. The Tower of London is a real attraction for tourists. The Tower was used as a royal palace, a fortress, a royal zoo. They say the Tower is a haunted place, people sometimes can see ghosts there. Now it’s a museum and a treasure house. Londoners also love St. Paul’s Cathedral, the largest protestant church in England. There are a lot of memorials including those to Wellington Admiral Nelson.

the West End is the richest and the most beautiful part of London, the symbol of wealth and luxury, where the most expensive hotels, restaurants, shops and clubs are situated. The place of pilgrimage is Trafalgar Square, the geographical centre of London. It was named in the memory of Admiral Nelson’s victory at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Opposite the Nelson Monument is the National Gallery. It contains the finest art collections in the world. The square is also used for political demonstrations and the celebration of  New Year’s Eve.

Westminster is the historic part of London. Buckingham Palace, the official home of the Queen, is situated there. The palace with 600 rooms is open to the public in summer, when the Queen is on holiday. The Houses of Parliament, called officially the Palace of Westminster, spread magnificently on the north bank of the Thames. This structure is a remarkable example  of Gothic architecture. Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock in one of the towers. Westminster Abbey is one of the most famous and beautiful churches in London. It is more than nine hundred years old. It is the place where coronation of nearly all kings and queens has taken place. 

The East End used to be the poorer part of Landon, but now  it’s an industrial district of London and you can visit some interesting places.  There are many factories and the Port of London.  

To sum it up, I’d like to point out that it’s my dream to visit London and see  all those places with my own eyes. I would like to learn more about its culture and traditions, sample English cuisine, and practise English. I hope I’ll be able to do it.
