Topic "Shopping" in English is a useful text with thematic phrases and translation, which will help everyone to replenish their vocabulary and learn to speak on the topic. More topics on the topic "Shopping and fashion" (Shopping and fashion) you can find in.

I go shopping several times a week. Nowadays there are so many types of shops - the shopping center, the hypermarket, the supermarket, the bakery, butchery and grocery.

I adore shopping centers. I usually do the shopping with my mother or with my friends. We go to the shopping centers where we can spend hours in different shops. You can buy any type of clothes there: from underwear to shoes and coats.

The supermarkets and hypermarkets are very convenient as you can buy whatever you need at once. There is no more need to go to three different shops to buy bread, meat and vegetables. It's all here.

But still there are those who prefer buying some goods at the specialized places. For example, they buy fresh bread at the bakery across the street, and then go to the butcher’s to buy some fresh meat, and then spend 20 minutes to get to the grocery to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.

Modern technologies allow doing the shopping without need not only to get out of the house, but even get out of bed. It concerns not only the clothing, but also the food. The delivery service is a part of almost all modern shops and that is extremely convenient. You can spend half an hour on choosing and ordering the products and then do some other things and then just receive all that you need. Isn't that convenient?

So there are so many types of shopping. And one can choose the most preferable to him.

Although a woman is an extremely unpredictable creature, if you ask her what
she needs for complete happiness, then she will surely gladly provide
you a list consisting of many items: necessary and not very, stylish and necessary, suitable for eye color or purse, warm, tight, comfortable, chic, or devoid of all these advantages, but just cool, etc. All these positions can be reduced to one denominator called
shopping. In our article today you will find words and phrases related to this tedious task for the male half of the population, which will definitely facilitate this process in an English-speaking country. The names of stores, departments and basic vocabulary and on the topic are at your service. Enjoy and absorb!

Do you think we missed one "p" in the title of the article? Nope! In fact, philologists do not see fair grounds for doubling the consonant in the word shopping and similar ones. Moreover, this practice is considered as a phenomenon “alien to Russian writing”. So, the modern spelling norm is shopping, and we made no mistake. Such spelling is "legalized", by the way, by the academic "Russian Spelling Dictionary" edited by V.V. Lopatin - Chairman of the Spelling Commission of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Just so you know ;)

We will not now talk about all the well-known statements about the process of choosing and buying goods, which is the best antidepressant for women (and for some men too) and brings an ocean of pleasure in itself. Btw, according to recent studies, the intensity of gamma rhythms in people who shop is higher than in people who have sex or become winners of any competitions. What a twist! Well, as they say, whatever floats your boat (to each his own). In addition, not all of the experimental subjects reported real pleasure experienced - moreover, some complained of fatigue. Scientists say that this is directly related to the difference in the psychotypes of the experimental subjects. In fact, only a real purchase brings pleasure, and everything else is just a waste of energy, causing nervousness and grumbling.

Whether you love shopping or need it, you can practice your English at the same time. After all, this is a great way to meet a bunch of people, and become more confident in a conversation. After getting acquainted with the phrases and vocabulary in our article, you will know what you can expect to hear from people in stores. This will make your shopping experience more enjoyable and improve your English. The more you remember, the easier it will be in the future, and the more natural you will feel in this environment.
