Section 16
Supermarkets

1 What happens in a supermarket?
2 Well, first, you will pick up a basket or a trolley.
3 What’s the difference between a basket and a trolley?
4 A basket is used for just a little shopping.
5 A trolley has wheels and is used when we have a lot to buy.
6 Then when we have chosen which we want, we go shopping.
7 Modern supermarkets have food from all around the world.
8 The food is arranged in sections containing similar foods and supplies.
9 You walk up and down the sections choosing what you want.
10 In big supermarkets, the choice can be very large.
11 You can buy clothes and household items in some supermarkets.
12 When you have finished, you go to the checkout.
13 Here you take all your shopping out of the basket or trolley.
14 The checkout person will then put the items across a machine.
15 The machine tells you how much to pay.
