My Favourite Shop.My name is (имя) and I’m (лет) years old. I study at the 7th grade of a state secondary school. My family is comparatively small. It’s just me, my parents and our pets. We have two pets: a cat Sally and a hamster Alex. At weekends I often go shopping with my parents. We visit the nearest hypermarket and some other stores in the same building. This hypermarket, which is called “Lenta”, is my favourite shop, because we can find all the necessary things in one place. We buy fresh food, presents, stationery, household appliances and many other items there. We don’t even need to go to the bakery or grocery, as everything can be found in this huge shop. At first sight it reminds a large storage of vital items. Last week we bought swimming suits and sandals for the beach holiday. We also bought a new vacuum-cleaner, as the old one broke down. As you see, hypermarket offers a wide range of products. My parents say that there weren’t any supermarkets and hypermarkets in their childhood. They had to go to several places to buy various products. In my opinion, such stores are simply indispensablein each city or town. They have lots of advantages. First of all, you can buy everything you need at one place. Secondly, hypermarkets often offer discounts or sales opportunities. Thirdly, I like the shopping carts in hypermarkets. They are of great help when we buy lots of things. In the same building there is an exchange booth, a chemist’s, a dry-cleaner’s and a travel agency. In case we have heavy bags, we call a taxi to come and pick us up.
