Shops and shopping in London
A
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 go 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.
B
On Saturday morning Borisov went shopping in Oxford Street, as he was to leave London soon. He called at the men’s department of a big department store. He came up to a salesgirl and asked her to help him to choose a suit.
Salesgirl: What kind of suit do you have in mind, sir?
Borisov: I’d like a light suit for summer wear, nothing too modern.
Salesgirl: Single – or double-breasted?
Borisov: Single-breasted, please.
Salesgirl: What’s your size, sir?
Borisov: I’m afraid, I don’t know my English size.
Salesgirl: You’ll have to try on this one for size in the fitting-room over there.
Borisov: I don’t think it’s my size: the jacket is too tight and the trousers are too short.
Salesgirl: Yes? I think the suit is one size too small for you, here is another, a size larger. It looks fine on you. It fits you perfectly.
Borisov: So it does.
Salesgirl: It’s of very good quality, it’ll wear for ages.
Borisov: Will it? That’s nice. How much is it?
Salesgirl: It costs 30 pounds.
Borisov: Well, I think I’ll take it, I like the style and the colour.
Salesgirl: Will you pay cash?
Borisov: Cash, please.
