Shops and shopping in London
Oxford street is one of the biggest and most popular shopping centres in London. Its nice shops and department stores attract people from all over the country and from foreign countries as well.
Shops and department stores are open every day till 6 o'clock except on Sundays. If you can't go shopping during the day you can make a purchase on Thursday after office hours, as the shops close at 8 o'clock in Oxford street on that day.
There are different kinds of shops in Oxford Street: there are clothes shops and shoe shops, book shops and dress shops. But many people prefer a department store, as it offers almost everything in one building.
One of the largest department stores in Oxford Street is Selfridge's. It has about 235 different departments. It is a very expensive department store, that is why most Londoners have to get to cheaper shops: Marks and Spenser's for clothes and supermarkets for food. Supermarkets have become very popular with shoppers. They sell not only food, but also ready-made clothes, toys and other goods. They are self-service shops.
Agree or disagree. Give your reasons.
1. Oxford Street is one of the most popular shopping centres in London.
2. Shops and department stores are open every day till 7 o'clock.
3. Many people prefer a department store for shopping.
4. Selfridge's is one of the largest department stores in Oxford Street.
5. Most Londoners prefer Selfridge's for shopping.
6. Supermarkets have become very popular.
Say, what you have learned from the text about.
1. Oxford Street and its shops.
2. Selfridge's.
Think and answer:
1. Why does Oxford Street attract people from all over England?
2. Why do shops close at 8 on Thursday in Oxford Street?
SHOPS AND SHOPPING.
In every town there are dozens of shops and going shopping is one of the most important of the housewife's duties. 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?

THE HAWKS GO SHOPPING.
1. The other day my wife took me on a usual shopping round. In fact I hate going to the butcher's, grocer's and other shops of this sort but of course I have to help my wife about the house. First we bought some pork and beef at the butcher's. Then we dropped in at the grocery and greengrocery. My wife wanted to buy sugar, salt, tomatoes and cucumbers. We also called at the baker's where we bought a loaf of brown bread, some buns and biscuits. On our way home we were passing Selfridge's. '' Let's drop in here for a while. We need a suit for everyday wear'', my wife said, I agreed. Selfridge's is still one of the biggest and most popular stores in London. They sell everything here. All the things for sale are on the counters. The customers walk round and choose what they want. The store has several departments', women's clothes, men's clothes, shoes, toys, sports goods, umbrellas, leather goods, china and glass, food and so on. When we entered the shop we went straight to the men's department. A salesgirl showed us a number of suits but we didn't like any of them. One of them was a bit loose on me, another was too tight. As to the third our opinions were quite different. I liked the suit. My wife found it too expensive. She wanted a suit as good as that one but less expensive. The salesgirl showed us a cheaper suit. It was of good quality but I didn't like the style. We were about to leave the counter. 2. Then they delivered a new selection of goods. They were not only suits but different kinds of clothes: coats, raincoats, jackets and trousers. I tried on two or three suits. The last was all right. It was just my size and fitted me perfectly. We both liked the suit and the price was not high. "We'll take it, wrap it up, please!" I said to the salesgirl.

"That one is $ 8", said the assistant, and then the man gave her a $ 20 note.
The assistant didn't have enough change, so she went to the butcher's shop next door to see if he could change the note for her. The butcher gave her a $ 10 note, a $ 5 note and five $ 1 coins for the $ 20 note, and she went back to her shop and gave the man the change. He left the shop with the change and the T-shirt.
Ten minutes later, the butcher ran into the shop waving $ 20 note. "Look", he said angrily, "this note is a forgery. Give me my money back". The assistant looked carefully at the note, agreed and gave him back his $ 20.
What did the clothes shop lose?
Answer: $ 12 and T-shirt. The butcher lost and gained nothing. The man who had come into the shop parted with nothing but a forged note and left with $ 12 and the T-shirt. This is therefore what the clothes shop lost.

Task I. Read the following text and answer the question: What's the difference between a shop and a store?
SHOP, STORE
Shop is a general term for a place where goods are sold. The distinction between "shop" and "store" is as follows. In Britain, "store" is used mainly of a shop selling a variety of goods, a "department store" (универмаг). The word "department" may be omitted, especially when the adjective "big" is included.
E. g. Most of the big stores in London stay open till 8 p. m. on Thursdays.
"Stores" (plural form with singular meaning) is also used of a small shop selling a wide variety of goods, for example, in a village.
E. g. She usually did her shopping at the village stores.
"General stores" is also used of a small shop of this kind, not only in the country but in a residential district of the town.
In the USA "store" is the usual word for a place where goods are sold. In America a merchant will call his store a shop if he wants to give it an air of elegance. The British are very quickly adopting the American use of "store" in the sense of "shop".
A "chain store" is one of several or many stores owned by the same person or company and selling the same goods. These stores may be all over the country or only in one area. "Chain" is also used in such sentences as:
E.g. He owns a chain of supermarkets / restaurants/ garages. Supermarket / restaurant chain.
A supermarket is a large self-service shop selling food and sometimes other goods, especially house-hold goods (универсам). Even larger shops, like self-service department stores, are called "hypermarkets".

Task I. Read the text and answer the question:
WHY IS OVERSEAS TRADE VERY IMPORTANT TO BRITAIN'S ECONOMY?
Overseas trade has been very important to Britain's economy for hundred of years. During the industrial Revolution Britain developed into an international trading centre. There was so much trade that it had a merchant fleet of ships which was bigger than the rest of the world's put together. Today Britain is the fifth largest trading nation and is part of the world's largest block, the EEC.
In the past, Britain's trade was centred on the Empire and later the coutries that made up the Commonwealth. Since joining the EEC and the Single European Act of 1993, Britain has traded less with these old partners because it must use other European Suppliers.
Britain's decision to join the EEC in 1993 was mainly for political reasons. Britain wanted to become part of Europe and have more contact with European countries. It was also useful to be a member for economic reasons. Britain is an island and depends a lot on trade with other countries for raw materials and food not found in Britain. The Single European Market offers British companies a market of over 350 million customers. A wide range of goods offering choice to British consumers can also be imported, and the free trade and duty - free arrangements with member countries simplify trade for Britain.
Task II. Use the text to complete this table:
EEC membership since... Main reason for joining … Other reasons for joining ... Advantages of membership... Britain's main trading partners …
Task III. Read the text and answer the questions below:
THE SHOPPING CENTRE.
For thousands of years man has found the market place to be the centre of community
life, the place around which much of the activity of the social and economic life of the community turns. Now the market place has put on a new dress and has moved from the central part of the city to the suburbs. It has also adopted a new name: shopping centre or shopping mall. The old market square has moved under a roof, been organized, made beautiful and, in the suburbs, become the true community centre.
The attraction of the shopping centre is concentration of diversity. A family arriving at a prosperous shopping centre may expect to find many different kinds of stores and services. To attract customers, shopping centres will have one or more department stores. These large stores are considered necessary to a good shopping centre because they attract crowds of people that will also support small stores, restaurants, and movie theatres.
A prosperous centre is pleasant to look at and comfortable. Many have controlled climate, fountains, art and sculpture, plants and trees, and separation of people on foot from the traffic of automobiles. Special entertainment is often used to bring people into the centre early in the day or to keep them longer than usual. With garden club exhibits, play areas for children, local college displays, art and handicraft shows by local artists and the like, the shopping centre makes itself useful to community.
Ala Moana in Honolulu, Hawaii, is a fine example of the new kind of shopping mall that is appearing in many parts of the United States and in other countries as well. With a large, free parking lot of cars, Ala Moana offers 155 separate shops, department stores and service - shoes or shirts, watches or sailboats, groceries or jewels, stamps, television sets, books or flowers - on three different levels.
A customer may have his car repaired or get advice from an eye doctor or a travel office. He may have lunch at a snack bar or fine restaurant, enjoying such foods as Hawaiian Laulau or Japanese sushi, Chinese tau jok or plain American hamburgers. Or, he may walk slowly along the spacious mall, mingling with crowds, appreciating the light and open air, finally stopping to watch the Polynesian show that goes on every Sunday at 9. 30 a. m. . Ala Moana is open seven days and five nights a week.
Giant shopping malls such as Ala Moana are called regional or super centres. An average of fifty of this kind of shopping centre is built each year in the USA. Eighty per cent of new retail spase in the USA will be put in this type or centre in coming years.
Most shopping centres are in the suburbs, and they show the relaxed life style that is characteristic of the suburban middle class. Methods of selling are relaxed so that the customer doesn't feel forced to buy. Like the village green or square, these centres are happy, lively, clean gathering - places where one can pass an hour or two without spending a cent.
What effect is the shopping centre having on stores in the central part of the city? In many cities department stores and large shops are losing customers to the suburban shopping centres. Formely, the shopping centres were considered satellits of the large city stores. Today, however, instead of one big metropolian nucleus, there are now dozens of shopping centres in the areas surrounding a city. Most of them are busy with shoppers morning, noon and night.
In many areas shopping centres have become the focal point of the suburban community. The family that has left the dirt, noise and limited space of the large city can still find in the shopping centre the crowds, diversity of stores, and liveliness that define a city. Yet, the sense of community and personal identity is retained. It seems that people think that shopping centres are places that are fun to be in!
Task IV. Reviewing the facts:
1. What is the principal attraction of a shopping centre?
2. Why is it important to have at least one department store in a shopping centre?
3. What purpose does entertainment serve in a shopping centre?
4. How does a shopping centre make it useful to a community?
5. Where is Ala Moana? Describe some of the stores and services it offers.
6. How long is Ala Moana open during a week?
7. On the overage how many shopping malls are built in USA in a year?
8. What methods of selling are used in shopping centres?
9. In what way is the shopping centre like the village square?
Task V. Read the text and answer the question: Which of the points in this text do you agree or disagree with?
• Anyone who has contact with customer is a sales person - that includes the telephonist who answers the phone and the service engineer who calls to repair a machine. So that probably includes you?
• The relationship between a sales person and a client is important: both parties want to feel satisfied with their deal and neither want to feel cheated. A friendly, respectful relationship is more effective than an aggressive, completetive one. A sales person should believe that his product has certain advantages over the competition.
• A customer wants to be sure that he is buying a product that is good value and of high quality. No one is business is going to spend his company's money on something they don't really need (unlike consumers, who can sometimes be persuaded to buy "useless" products like fur coats and solid gold watches!)
• Some sales people prefer a direct "hard sell" approach, while others prefer a more indirect "soft sell" approach. Whichever approach is used, a good sales person is someone who knows how to deal with different kinds of people and who can point out how his product will benefit each individual customer in special ways. A successful sales meeting depends on both the sales person and the customer asking each other the right sort of questions.
