In .order to satisfy the need of shopping in a big
city, supermarkets have com e into existence
with their ever-increasing number, and shopping
supermarkets is no longer a “m o d e ’ to city
dwellers. It is a m ust in a m odem city like
H C M C . I also like shopping at a supermarket,
and I usually go to the supermarket once or
twice a w eek to buy things I need.
Since I do a lot of shopping, I usually need a shopping cart to cany
everything. 1 first stop by the ready-food counter to pick up som e food 1
like. Th e n , I look for som e fruits and vegetables in the produce section,
but I make sure they are fresh. M y roommates like milk, so 1 swing by
the dairy section and grab a few boxes of milk. Also, there are times
when l do not have much time to cook, so I usually pick up som e frozen
food. If the store is out of stock of any of the items I need, then I drop by
a different supermarket on m y w ay hom e. I generally pay with cash at
the checkout counter.
Supermarkets are really convenient for us now. O nce we come into any
supermarket, we can find almost everything we want there. It does not
take us much time to go to different stores. Moreover, goods of nearly all
kinds are displayed on open shelves, so we can choose whatever we
want and take them to the checkout counter.
Thanks to supermarkets, our lives seem to be easier. I hope more and
more supermarket are opened near our community so that w e do not
waste time on shopping.
