 T.A.8
Part 1: Read the following passage and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).
(1.25 pt)
Some speciality shops are now in danger of disappearing. Here are some examples.
The butcher shop
Butcher shops sell all kinds of meat. They usually employ people who are trained in the
meat industry. They know how to cut the meat the right way, and they often advise
customers on the different types of meat. However, it is hard nowadays to find a traditional
butcher shop. More people are buying meat from large supermarkets because it is more
convenient, and the price is lower.
The bookshop
Bookshops are becoming quite rare these days. Years ago, it was easy to find bookshops in
any town or city. Then, larger bookshop chains gradually took over and the smaller shops
died out. Two examples of large bookshop chains are Waterstones in the UK and the
Barnes & Noble in the USA. But now, even the large bookshop chains are facing difficulty
because more people are buying books from Amazon as well as digital books.
