HOW I
WENT SHOPPING
One day my friend
Nick and I decided to go shopping. Nick needed some new clothes. There are a
lot of shops, supermarkets and department stores in the center of the city, so
we decided to go through some of them.
The first shop on
our way was a large supermarket. The choice of goods was very impressive. We
could see sausages of different kinds, fish, meat, poultry. At the bakery there
was bread, rolls, buscuits. At the dairy department there was milk, cream, cheese,
butter. 1) --------------------------------------------------------------.
Then we went to the department store which was right across the street.
Nick and I are
fond of computers and video, so we couldn't go past our favorite department. 2)
---------------------------------------------------. Nick bought three new CDs
and I bought two video cassettes.
And then, at last,
we found the men's clothing department. 3) ----------------------------------------.
Nick needed a suit because he was going to the theatre with his girlfriend. As
you probably remember, Nick is very tall and slim. 4) ---------------------------------------------------------.
The shop assistant
asked Nick's size and offered him a nice suit. But when Nick tried it on I
couldn't help laughing.5) --------------------------------------------------------------.
He looked so funny! The shop assistant thought for a moment and then suggested
that Nick should try on some jackets and some trousers separately. An hour
later Nick looked like an English gentleman.
We had to go home
by taxi because our bags were very big. We came home completely broke but
happy.
