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, woollen 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 selfservice 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 

Рождество — чудесный праздник, это праздник рождения иисуса христа, и он отмечается в канун 7 января. в середине iv века оно было установлено римско-католической церковью как отдельный праздник, а по юлианскому календарю его отмечали 25 декабря. в x веке, с введением христианства на руси, рождество было смешано с местным языческим праздником возвращения солнца или началом сельскохозяйственного года. в некоторых местах использовалось дорождественское название праздника — коляда. канун рождества считается самой интересной частью праздника, потому что включает ритуальные и магические обряды, которые предвещают хороший урожай и долгую жизнь. колядование — характерная черта праздника, оно выражает уважение хозяину дома и его детям и иногда сопровождается кукольным театром (вертепом). christmas is a wonderful holiday, it’s a feast of christ’s birth and it’s celebrated on the eve of 7th of january. in the mid-4th century it was established by the roman catholic church as a separate feast and was celebrated on 25 december according to the julian calendar. in the 10th century with the introduction of the christianity into rus it was fused with the local pagan celebrations of the sun’s return or the commencement of the agricultural year. in some areas was used the pre-christian name of the feast — koliada. the christmas eve is considered as the most interesting part of christmas as it has ritual and magic acts aimed at ensuring a good harvest and a life of plenty. caroling is a characteristic feature of the feast, it expresses respect for the master of the house and his children, and sometimes it’s accompanied by a puppet theatre (vertep). the religious festival lasts three days and involves christmas liturgies, caroling, visiting and entertaining relatives and acquaintances. the christmas tree was adopted from western europe, but today it’s the element of the new year celebration in ukraine.
