Lesson v shopping for food

INTRODUCTORY READING AND TALK

Buying foodstuffs in a modern supermarket can be considered a sort of art. It is the art of combating a temptation.

Supermarkets play a dirty fox on the customers: practically every shopper is tempted to buy things he or she does not need or cannot beget.

The mechanism of this lamentable deceit is simple. Firstly, supermarkets are laid out to make a person pass as many shelves and counters as possible. Only the hardest of souls can laissez passer loaded racks indifferently and not collect all sorts of food from them.

Secondly, more and more supermarkets supply customers with trolleys instead of wire baskets: their bigger book needs more than purchases. I picks up a small detail, say, a pack of spaghetti, puts it into a huge trolley and is immediately aback of its loneliness. He or she starts calculation more than.

Thirdly, all products are nicely displayed on the racks and all of themlook fresh in their transparent wrappings with marked prices. A normal person cannot ignore attractively packed goods. Then one cannot but experience an impulse to buy. And, finally, supermarkets don't forget about those who wait for bargains. The so-called "deal bins" filled with special offers wait for their victims. No ane can tell for sure if the prices are really reduced, but it is so nice to avowal later that y'all have a very good eye for a bargain.

Then when a simple-hearted client approaches a bank check-out, his or her trolley is piled high. Looking at a cashier, running her pen over barcodes, he or she starts getting nervous while the cash annals is adding upwardly the prices. And, getting a receipt, he or she gives a sigh of relief if the indicated sum does not exceed the cash he or she has.

Of class, one can give a piece of communication to the elementary-hearted: compile a shopping list and buy only pre-planned goods. Merely is information technology worth losing that great awareness of buying? Ane tin really wonder.

A lot of people prefer to do their shopping in small-scale shops. The daily shopping road of some housewives includes visits to the baker's, butcher's, grocer'south, greengrocer's, fishmonger's and a dairy shop. In the finish of the route their bags are total of loaves of bread, meat cuts, packs with cereals, fruit, vegetables, fish and dairy products. Only very strong women can call in at the tobacconist'due south later on all that.

The caption for this housewives' craze is very elementary. In every store their buys are weighed, wrapped upwardly, their money taken and the alter given back. Meanwhile they can have a conversation with salesgirls and store-assistants near their weak hearts and broken hopes.

So, friends, become shopping as oftentimes as y'all can. Because the elementary truth is: a visit to a practiced shop is worth two visits to a proficient doctor.

1. Fancy that yous take a lilliputian child to a supermarket for the first fourth dimension. Explain to him what you see around and what 1 should exercise.

2. Describe a) the supermarket closest to your block of flats;

b) your favourite supermarket.

3. Say how you purchase goods in an ordinary store and in a supermarket.

4. Say what one can purchase in the shops mentioned in the text (baker's, butcher'due south, etc.)

Shopping for I

(A story by Anne Cassidy. Abridged)

Supermarkets are much the aforementioned the world over � especially the queues at bank check-out points. What extraordinary things other people are buying! There are odd snatches of overheard conversation also. But what if one is living lone, 'Shopping for one'?

'And then what did you say?' Jean heard the blonde woman in front of her talking to her friend.

'Well,' the darker woman began, 'I said I'm non having that woman there. I don't see why I should. I mean I'thousand not existence former-fashioned just I don't see why I should accept to put up with her at family occasions.one After all...'

Jean noticed the other woman giving an accompaniment of nods and headshaking at the appropriate parts.2 They fell into silence and the queue moved forward a couple of steps.

Jean felt her patience beginning to itch.3 Looking into her wire basket she counted x items. That meant she couldn't go through the quick till4 merely but had to await behind elephantine shopping loads; giant bottles of coke crammed in beside twenty-pound numberless of potatoes and 'special offer' drums of bleach. Somewhere at the lesser, Jean thought, there was always a plastic carton of eggs or a run into-through tray of tomatoes which brutal casualty to the rest.v There was nothing else for it � she'd just accept to await.

'Afterward all,' the dark woman resumed her conversation, 'how would it look if she was there when I turned up?'6 Her friend shook her head slowly from side to side and ended with a quick nod.

Should she have got such a small size salad cream? Jean wasn't certain. She was sick of throwing abroad one-half-used bottles of stuff.

'He came back to you after all,' the blonde adult female all of a sudden said. Jean looked upwardly quickly and immediately felt her cheeks affluent. She bent over and began to rearrange the items in her shopping basket.

'On his hands and knees,' the dark woman spoke in a triumphant voice. 'Begged me take him back.'

She gritted her teeth together. Should she go and change it for a larger size? Jean looked behind and saw that she was hemmed in by three big trollies. She'd lose her place in the queue. There was something and so deplorable about buying small sizes of everything. It was as though everyone knew.

'Y'all can e'er tell a person past their shopping,'7 was i of her female parent's favourite maxims. She looked into her shopping basket: individual fruit pies, small salad foam, yoghurt, tomatoes, true cat food and a chicken quarter.

The cashier of a sudden said, 'Make it out to J. Sainsbury PLC.' She was addressing a man who had been poised and waiting to write out a bank check for a few moments. His wife was loading what looked similar a gross offish fingers8 into a cardboard box marked "Whiskas". It was called a division of labour.

Jean looked again at her basket and began to experience the familiar feeling of regret that visited her from fourth dimension to time. Hemmed in betwixt family-size cartons of cornflakes and giant packets of washing-powder, her individual yoghurt seemed to say it all.9 She looked upward towards a plastic bookstand which stood beside the till. A slim glossy hardback defenseless her eye. The words Cooking for Ane screamed out from the front cover. Retrieve of all the oriental foods yous can get into,10 her friend had said. He was and then traditional after all. Nodding in understanding with her thoughts Jean found herself eye to middle with the blonde woman, who gave her a blank, difficult look and handed her what looked like a black plastic ruler with the words "Side by side customer please" printed on information technology in bold letters. She turned back to her friend. Jean put the ruler down on the conveyor belt.xi

She idea about their shopping trips, before, when they were together. All that rushing round, he pushing the trolley dejectedly, she firing questions at him. Salmon? Toilet rolls? Coffee? Peas? She remembered he simply liked the processed kind.12 Information technology was all such a performance. Standing there belongings her wire basket, embarrassed by its very emptiness, was like something out of a soap opera.

'Of course, we've had our ups and downs,13' the dark woman continued, lazily passing a few items down to her friend.

Jean began to load her food on to the conveyor belt. She picked up the cookery volume and felt the frustrations of indecision. It was only ninety pence merely it seemed to define everything, to pinpoint her aloneness, to prescribe an empty hereafter. She put it back in its identify.

'And so that's why I couldn't have her there you lot run across,' the dark woman was summing up. The friends exchanged knowing expressions and the blonde adult female got her purse out of a slap-up leather bag. She peeled off three 10 pound notes and handed them to the cashier.

Jean opened her carrier bag ready for her shopping. She turned to watch the two women equally they walked off, the blonde pushing the trolley and the other seemingly carrying on with her story.

The cashier was looking expectantly at her and Jean realized that she had totalled up. It was four pounds and fourscore-seven pence. She had the correct money, it simply meant sorting her change out. She had an inclination that the people behind her were becoming impatient. She noticed their stack of items all lined and waiting, information technology seemed, for starters orders.xiv Brown staff of life and peppers, olive oil and, in the centre, a bundle of beefburgers.

She gave over her coin and picked up her carrier bag. She felt a sense of relief to be away from the mass of people. She felt out of place.15

Walking out of the door she wondered what she might take for tea. Maybe chicken, she thought, with salad. Walking towards her machine she idea that she should have bought the cookery book after all. She suddenly felt much better in the fresh air. She'd purchase it next calendar week. And in futurity she'd buy a large salad cream. After all, what if people came round unexpectedly?

Practice 21

Standing in a queue at the check-out is a tedious business. Some people invent games to make the time pass quicker. One of them comes to guessing what people's lifestyles are likely to be judging by the contents of their shopping baskets.

I. Read the following passages and try to say something about people's families, homes, lifestyles.

Body language tin can tell a stranger a lot about 1's personality, then can the fruits of one'southward shopping trek.

Yesterday I observed a cute immature lady. While her footling daughter begged unsuccessfully for a bun, she was carefully choosing a shampoo, hair conditioner and bath perfume. And so she picked up a couple of cinema magazines and went to the check-out.

I looked down into her trolley and shuddered: three gallons of milk, 3 loaves of bread, iv chickens, a mountain of baby-nutrient jars, cakes and pies.

I particularly like to detect male person shoppers. I don't mean househusbands dutifiilly checking items off a listing. I adopt a gourmet who knows the real sense of taste of things: imported cheeses, exotic spices, a whole leg of lamb, early asparagus.

I felt hostility flowing from the woman continuing behind me in the supermarket check-out queue. Had I cut in front end of her? She was glaring into my handbasket. I apace surveyed my selections to see what could be generating such hostility. Let's see: 2 bottles of champagne, a lovely avocado, a pound of shrimp, and a quart of purified water.

Two. Fancy what one tin can come across in a shopping handbasket of:

1) a good housewife;

2) a divorced human being;
