ответить на во Аn English woman, as a rule, deals with only one grocer, one butcher, one milkman and one baker. She may as well phone the butcher and grocer early in the morning and order what she wants. Then she doesn't go the shops herself. She doesn't pay each day but receives a bill each week. At the end of the week, on Saturday, there are several bills to pay.
Sometimes a person sees something advertised in a newspaper or on television that he would like. He may write for it and ask to send it C.O.D. (cash or delivery). When the article arrives, he pays the postman. If the person has a banking account he generally pays by cheque.
Going shopping is a pleasant experience for those who are well-off and can buy whatever they want. It is not so pleasant for a poorer person, who may have to leave the shop without many of things he would like to buy. In big shops the customer doesn't pay the salesman or saleswoman, but takes the bill to the cash-desk and pays the cashier. In some shops there is a special department where they wrap up the purchases and hand them over to customers. Some big shops have a home-delivery service.
There is a tendency in England and America for small shops to disappear. They're eaten up by the big firms, who have branches all over the country. English people regret the disappearance of small shops.
But big shops are very useful to the public. They have a large variety of goods and sell at reasonable prices.
I am sorry for the small shopkeepers. Being your own master is different from having to take orders from another, isn't it?

В наше время жить без воды это как жить без ничего, потому что вода это как все знают источник жизни и источник пропитания. Даже во времена наших предков вода была всем нужна и даже некоторым людям нехватало! Вы только представьте себе что было бы жить без воды в наше. Поэтому жить без воды, Жить без ничего.
In our time, living without water is like living without anything, because water is, as everyone knows, the source of life and the source of food. Even in the days of our ancestors, everyone needed water and even some people lacked it! Just imagine what it would be like to live without water in ours. Therefore, to live without water, to live without anything.
Water is a physical need of the human body. We can live without food up to 30-40 days, but without clean drinking water we won’t survive even 3-4 days. This should come as no surprise: the body of an adult consists of around 60-70 percent of water. It is contained in all tissues, and it is essential for metabolic processes, temperature regulation, nutrients transportation via the circulatory system and waste removal. It participates in almost all physiological processes. Lack of water can cause various diseases – from headache to muscle spasms and cramps.
Вода – естественная потребность человеческого организма. Мы можем прожить без пищи до 30-40 дней, но без воды мы не выживем даже 3-4 дня. И это неудивительно: организм взрослого человека на 60-70 процентов состоит из воды. Она содержится во всех тканях и является необходимой для обменных процессов, терморегуляции, транспортировки питательных веществ по кровеносной системе и выведения шлаков. Она участвует практически во всех физиологических процессах. Недостаток воды может стать причиной различных болезней – от головной боли до мышечных спазмов и судорог
