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, woolen 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 self-service 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 change.

GRAND OPENING OCTOBER 9TH-BRING YOUR FRIENDS! at the top was gone. It had been replaced by a small square sign, red letters on a white background.
OPEN it said, and OPEN was all it said. Brian stood with his bike between his legs, looking at this, and his heart began to beat a little faster.
“You’re not going in there, are you?”- he asked himself. “I mean, if it really is opening a day early, you’re not going in there, even 11 right?”
Why not? - he answered himself.
Well ... because the window’s still soaped over. The shade on the door’s still drawn. You go in there, anything could happen to you. Anything. Sure. Like the guy who runs it is Norman Bates or something, he dresses up in his mother’s clothes and stabs his customers.
Right.
Well, forget it, the timid part of his mind said, although that part sounded as if it already knew it had lost. There’s something funny about it.
But then Brian thought of telling his mother, just saying nonchalantly, “By the way, Ma, you know that new store, Needful Things? Well, it opened a day early. I went in and took a look around.” She’d push the mute button on the remote control in a hurry then, you better believe it! She’d want to hear all about it!
This thought was too much for Brian. He put down his bike’s kickstand and passed slowly into the shade of the awning – it felt at least ten degrees cooler beneath its canopy – and approached the door of Needful Things.
As he put his hand on the big old-fashioned brass doorknob, it occurred to him that the sign must be a mistake. It had probably been sitting there, just inside the door, for tomorrow, and someone had put it up by accident. He couldn’t hear a single sound from behind the drawn shade; the place had a deserted feel.
But since he had come this far, he tried the knob ... and it turned easily under his hand. The latch clicked back and the door of Needful Things swung open.
It was dim inside, but not dark. Brian could see that track lighting (a specialty of the Dick Perry Siding and Door Company) had been installed, and a few of the spots mounted on the tracks were lit. They were trained on a number of glass display cases which were arranged around the large room. The cases were, for the most part, empty. The spots highlighted the few objects which were in the cases. The floor, which had been bare wood when this was Western Maine Realty and Insurance, had been covered in a rich wall – towall carpet the color of burgundy wine. The walls had been painted eggshell white. A thin light, as white as the walls, filtered in through the soaped display window.
Well, it’s a mistake, just the same, Brian thought. He hasn’t even got his stock in yet. Whoever put the OPEN sign in the door by mistake left the door unlocked by mistake, too. The polite thing to do in these circumstances would be to close the door again, get on his bike, and ride away.
Yet he was loath to leave. He was, after all, actually seeing the inside of the new store. His mother would talk to him the rest of the afternoon when she heard that. The maddening part was this: he wasn’t sure exactly what he was seeing. There were half a dozen (exhibits) items in the display cases, and the spotlights were trained on them – a kind of trial run, probably – but he couldn’t tell what they were. He could, however, tell what they weren’t: spool beds and moldy crank telephones.
“Hello?” he asked uncertainly, still standing in the doorway.
“Is anybody here?”
He was about to grasp the doorknob and pull the door shut again when a voice replied, “I’m here.” A tall figure – what at first seemed to be an impossibly tall figure came through a doorway behind one of the display cases. The doorway was masked with a dark velvet curtain. Brian felt a momentary and quite monstrous cramp of fear. Then the glow thrown by one of the spots slanted across the man’s face, and Brian’s fear was allayed. The guy was quite old, and his face was very kind. He looked at Brian with interest and pleasure.
“Your door was unlocked,” Brian began, “so I thought-“ “Of course it’s unlocked,” the tall man said. “I decided to open for a little while this afternoon as a kind of ... of preview. And you are my very first customer. Come in, my friend. Enter freely, and leave some of the happiness you bring!”
He smiled and stuck out his hand. The smile was infectious.
Brian felt an instant liking for the proprietor of Needful Things. He had to step over the threshold and into the shop to clasp the tall man’s hand, and he did so without a single qualm. The door swung shut behind him and latched of its own accord. Brian did not notice.
He was too busy noticing that the tall man’s eyes were dark blue-exactly the same shade as Miss Sally Ratcliffe’s eyes.
They could have been father and daughter.
The tall man’s grip was strong and sure, but not painful. All the same, there was something unpleasant about it. Something . . . smooth. Too hard, somehow.
“I’m pleased to meet you,” Brian said.
Those dark-blue eyes fastened on his face like hooded railroad lanterns.
“I am equally pleased to make your acquaintance,” the tall man said, and that was how Brian Rusk met the proprietor of Needful Things before anyone else in Castle Rock.
“My name is Leland Gaunt,” the tall man said, “and you are-?”
“Brian. Brian Rusk.”
“Very good, Mr. Rusk. And since you are my first customer, I think I can offer you a very special price on any item that catches your fancy.”

Task 1. Read and translate the text.
Meals
We eat various food-stuffs: meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, eggs, bread, etc. Before we have our meals, we must cook the food. We put salt, sugar, pepper, mustard and various spices into our food to make it salted, sweet or sour. When dinner is ready we set the table or serve the table.
Dinner is a substantial meal with us. At home we usually have a three-course dinner. For the first course we have cabbage soup or noodle soup. For the main course we prefer meat with vegetables. I don’t like fish, but sometimes I have it just for a change. My favorite dish is roasted meat. It smells so appetizing and is very tasty. For dessert we have fruit or some kind of jelly. Besides I’m fond of strawberries with cream which is delicious. I never eat much at supper. If I feel hungry late in the evening, I take a cup of tea and a small slice of bread and butter.
When the meal is over we get up from the table and clear the table. We clear away the dirty cups and plates and wash them up.
Usually I have my meals at home. But sometimes when I stay at the University after classes for a long time I have a bite at our canteen. It’s a self-service dining-room, so there are neither waitresses nor waiters there. The dining room is not very large and it is crowded with students, especially during the intervals. So we have to stand in a queue for 5-10 minutes to take something. First of all I select the dishes on the menu. The cook is rather well in our canteen. We are quite satisfied with our dishes. Sometimes we get a very tasty pies and cakes there. It makes your mouth water just to look at them.
If we don’t want to have a substantial meal we may have refreshment – various salads or dairy products such as: yoghurt, sour-cream, sour-milk, etc. Sometimes we prefer this kind of meal as it costs very little. Students are not very particular about what they eat as long as it is eatable.
Task 2. Read and try to memorize.
When people are at the table they may ask their neighbors for something they can’t easily reach. In this case they say: “pass me the salt, please.”
The hostess may want to help you to something: “What shall I help you?”
When you accept something that is offered you say: “Yes, please”.
When you refuse something you say “No, thank you. No more, thank you”.
When you want to praise the food, you say “It’s delicious!”
When the meal is over we clear the table, we clear away the plates, dishes, cutlery, then wash it up in the kitchen.
Task 3. Can you define if it is fruit or vegetable? Translate the words.
Potatoes, apple, cabbage, onions, pears, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, raisins, bananas, peaches, beets, carrots, peas, apricots, pineapples, cauliflower, beans, plums, prunes, cherries, oranges, garlic, fennel, parsley, asparagus, tangerines, raspberries, strawberries, cranberries.
Task 4. Read and translate the dialogue.
| W | - Good morning, sir (miss, madam). For one? |
| A | - Yes, please. |
| W | - Would you like this table by the window? |
| A | - Thank you. |
| W | - Here’s the menu. |
| A | - Well, now, what do you recommend? |
| W | - Well, the roast lamb is very good. Or, if you prefer fish, there is nice cod today. |
| A | - I think, I’ll have the roast lamb, please. |
| W | - What vegetables would you like with it? |
| A | - Some baked potatoes. And what green vegetables do you have? |
| W | - Peas, spinach, beans. |
| A | - I think I’ll have peas. They are nice with lamb. |
| W | - Very well, sir (miss, madam). And what will you have for the first? Soup or grapefruit? |
| A | - I’ll have a grapefruit to start with. Could I order my dessert now? I’m in a hurry. |
| W | - Yes, certainly. What would you like? |
| A | - I think I’d like an apple pie and coffee. |
| W | - Very well, sir (miss, madam). |
Task 5. Check your knowledge.

Home Reading
We roamed about sweet Sonning for an hour or so, and then, it being too late to push on past Reading, we decided to go back to one of the Shiplake islands, and put up there for the night. It was still early when we got settled, and George said that, as we had plenty of time, it would be a splendid opportunity to try a good, slap-up supper. He said he would show us what could be done up the river in the way of cooking, and suggested that, with the vegetables and the remains of the cold beef and general odds and ends, we should make an Irish stew.
It seemed a fascinating idea. George gathered wood and made a fire, and Harris and I started to peel the potatoes. I should never have thought that peeling potatoes was such an undertaking. The job turned out to be the biggest thing of its kind that I had ever been in. We began cheerfully, one might almost say skittishly, but our light-heartedness was gone by the time the first potato was finished. The more we peeled, the more peel there seemed to be left on; by the time we had got all the peel off and all the eyes out, there was no potato left – at least none worth speaking of. George came and had a look at it – it was about the size of a pea-nut. He said:
“Oh, that won’t do! You’re wasting them. You must scrape them.”
So we scraped them, and that was harder work than peeling. They are such an extraordinary shape, potatoes – all bumps and warts and hollows. We worked steadily for five-and-twenty minutes, and did four potatoes. Then we struck. We said we should require the rest of the evening for scraping ourselves.
I never saw such a thing as potato-scraping for making a fellow in a mess. It seemed difficult to believe that the potato-scrapings in which Harris and I stood, half smothered, could have come off four potatoes. It shows you what can be done with economy and care.
George said it was absurd to have only four potatoes in an Irish stew, so we washed half-a-dozen or so more, and put them in without peeling. We also put in a cabbage and about half a peck of peas. George stirred it all up, and then he said that there seemed to be a lot of room to spare, so we overhauled both the hampers, and picked out all the odds and ends and the remnants, and added them to the stew. There were half a pork pie and a bit of cold boiled bacon left, and we put them in. Then George found half a tin of potted salmon, and he emptied that into the pot.
He said that was the advantage of Irish stew: you got rid of such a lot of things. I fished out a couple of eggs that had got cracked, and put those in. George said they would thicken the gravy.
I forget the other ingredients, but I know nothing was wasted; and I remember that, towards the end, Montmorency, who had evinced great interest in the proceedings throughout, strolled away with an earnest and thoughtful air, reappearing, a few minutes afterwards, with a dead water- rat in his mouth, which he evidently wished to present as his contribution to the dinner; whether in a sarcastic spirit, or with a genuine desire to assist, I cannot say.
We had a discussion as to whether the rat should go in or not. Harris said that he thought it would be all right, mixed up with the other things, and that every little helped; but George stood up for precedent. He said he had never heard of water-rats in Irish stew, and he would rather be on the safe side, and not try experiments.
Harris said:
“If you never try a new thing, how can you tell what it’s like? It’s men such as you that hamper the world’s progress. Think of the man who first tried German sausage!”
It was a great success, that Irish stew. I don’t think I ever enjoyed a meal more. There was something so fresh and piquant about it. One’s palate gets so tired of the old hackneyed things: here was a dish with a new flavour, with a taste like nothing else on earth.
And it was nourishing, too. As George said, there was good stuff in it. The peas and potatoes might have been a bit softer, but we all had good teeth, so that did not matter much: and as for the gravy, it was a poem – a little too rich, perhaps, for a weak stomach, but nutritious.
We finished up with tea and cherry tart. Montmorency had a fight with the kettle during tea-time, and came off a poor second.
Throughout the trip, he had manifested great curiosity concerning the kettle. He would sit and watch it, as it boiled, with a puzzled expression, and would try and rouse it every now and then by growling at it. When it began to splutter and steam, he regarded it as a challenge, and would want to fight it, only, at that precise moment, some one would always dash up and bear off his prey before he could get at it.
To-day he determined he would be beforehand. At the first sound the kettle made, he rose, growling, and advanced towards it in a threatening attitude. It was only a little kettle, but it was full of pluck, and it up and spit at him.
“Ah! would ye!” growled Montmorency, showing his teeth; “I’ll teach ye to cheek a hard-working, respectable dog; ye miserable, long-nosed, dirty- looking scoundrel, ye. Come on!”
And he rushed at that poor little kettle, and seized it by the spout.
Then, across the evening stillness, broke a blood-curdling yelp, and Montmorency left the boat, and did a constitutional three times round the island at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour, stopping every now and then to bury his nose in a bit of cool mud.
From that day Montmorency regarded the kettle with a mixture of awe, suspicion, and hate. Whenever he saw it he would growl and back at a rapid rate, with his tail shut down, and the moment it was put upon the stove he would promptly climb out of the boat, and sit on the bank, till the whole tea business was over.
