Exercise 11. Translate into Russian
Lesson One. At the Supermarket
There are many kinds of shops. You can go shopping to small food stores: the grocery store, liquor store, store of dairy products, butcher’s, bakery, greengrocer’s, fishmonger’s, confectionery, candy store. But many of us prefer to shop in large stores — supermarkets. Supermarkets sell more than just food. Many sell items for the car, household goods, cosmetics and cigarettes. Some even sell books, medicines and flowers.
When you come into the supermarket, you take a food basket or a shopping cart. People buy here different foodstuff such as meat, fish, milk, grocery, baked items, sweets, cooked sausages, smoked foods, vegetables and fruit.
In the meat aisle the customers can buy beef, pork, mutton, veal, poultry and game. There is always a rich choice of fish there: live carp, pike, bream and sheat fish. There is much fresh-frozen fish: perch, cod, plaice and some other like pike-perch and sturgeon. There is herring, kipper and much tinned fish too.
In the grocery aisle you can see all kinds of cereals: oatmeal, semolina, rice, buckwheat, millet, pearl barley. You can buy cooking soda, spices, flour, pea, potato flour, salt, oil, macaroni, vermicelli, noodles and some other products.
You go to the dairy counter to buy milk products. There is always a wide choice of them: milk in bottles and packets, cream, kefir, sour cream, cheese, curds, cottage cheese, cream cheese, many kinds of yogurt, mayonnaise, margarine and butter.
At the bread counter you take loaves of brown (rye) or white (wheat) bread, rusks, rolls and buns. There is a big choice of items in the confectionery: sugar, granulated sugar, caramel, sweets, chocolates, bars of chocolate, biscuits, pastry, jam puffs, fancy cakes, tarts, fruit cakes, wafers, marmalade and also tea, coffee, cocoa.
Next to it is the delicatessen counter (deli) which offers you all kinds of sausages: boiled, half-smoked and smoked, liver paste, ham, lean boiled pork with spices (buzhenina), tinned beef and pork.
The green grocery and fruit aisles look very attracting. Here you can buy fresh, tinned and dried vegetables, fruit and greens. Juicy pears, apples, plums, grapes, oranges, tangerines, bananas, lemons and pineapples are sold in every season. In spring and summer the shop has a great variety of berries: strawberries, cherries, raspberries, black and red currants, gooseberries. In autumn and winter — red bilberries and cranberries and all year round you can have fruit and berry jams.

After all, you come up to the cashier’s desk to pay the money. Sometimes there are a lot of customers in the shop and you get in line, but most often it doesn’t take much time.
If you are a smart shopper, you compare prices, pick out foodstuffs, always look at the date on the labels of perishable foods, check the change and look for bargains. As the English say, “A penny saved is a penny earned.”

3. Where baskets are provided, please, use them, do not put any item in your bag or pocket until you have paid for it.
4. Do not mishandle any of the goods on display, do not handle perishable goods (fruit, etc.) or fragile items, unless you have permission to do so.
5. No alcoholic drink may be bought anywhere by persons under the age of 18.
6. Always keep the receipt that you receive.
7*. Do not congregate in groups in such a way that you restrict the free passage of other shoppers, or interfere in any way with the sales staff.
8**. Security staff work in most of the stores and shops in England. They will be watching for any irregularity, and they have the power bylaw to detain you.
