Objective:
this is a very important topic since it
is very functional and useful because we could apply it to a real life
situation. At getting familiarized with all the things related to the
supermarket, we are actually preparing for the day in which we might need to go
to this place by our own and face all the procedures that take place in there. The following activities should help on the
process of getting to know a little better such a fundamental topic.
Definition:
the
supermarket is actually the place in which people go to buy their groceries in
order to prepare food. The supermarket is usually bigger than a normal shop and
it is divided in many sections and each section has products similar or of the
same nature. When people are done gathering the groceries they want to acquire,
they go and pay them at the cashier, which is often situated right next to the
main entrance of the place.
ESL Supermarket Reading
A supermarket is a large, mainly
self-service retail store selling food and other household goods. This was
originally an American idea that was introduced into Britain after the Second
World War at the end of the 1950's.
The biggest outlets are Tesco,
Sainsbury, Morrisons and Asda. The Co-Operative, Aldi and Lidl are also large
retailers. There is a lot of competition between stores to encourage customers
to keep coming back. To encourage loyalty, they offer loyalty cards. With each
visit points are added to the customer’s account, and when a certain number of
points have been collected, rewards are given. They may take the form of money
vouchers to spend in the shop or reduced prices off certain items in the store.
These cannot be used in the other supermarkets.
At the entrance to the supermarket there
are hand held baskets or trolley baskets on wheels. If a lot of shopping is
required, it is easier to put it in the trolley and push it along. Usually the
first display in the shop is the fruit and vegetable produce. Not far from the
entrance is a separate counter that sells tobacco, cigarettes and cigars. An
assistant will serve you at this counter. Near-by newspapers and magazines are
displayed. There is a service point space where customers with problems
regarding purchases can get refunds.
To aid customers to find the goods they
need the aisles are numbered. Also large signs hang overhead to tell the
shopper where items can be found. Originally supermarkets traded in edible
goods. They could buy these in large quantities, and so sell them at a cheaper
price than small local shops that did not have the space to buy in bulk.
As well as fresh foods that are
displayed unwrapped, for example, cheese, fish and cuts of meat, food is sold
in sealed packs. There is important information on the outside of the wrapping.
It gives lists of the contents, food values and allergy advice. Sell by and
consume by dates are also on packets and tins.
Supermarkets sell products from
factories with famous brand names but they also sell similar items under the
store name. Often the Tesco or Sainsbury brand is cheaper than Heinz or Kenco
brand. The displays on the shelf units are cleverly set out to direct the eyes
towards the product that the store hopes you will buy.
In a store, goods are sold fresh,
frozen, in tins, jars and packets, while drinks are in bottles and boxes. In a
large shop customers can also buy electrical goods, kitchen goods, soft furnishings
and pharmacy products. After collecting everything the customers pays at one of
the numerous checkouts.

the news?
GINA: Nothing good, you can be sure.
PETER: Well, let�s
see what the bad news is, then. (Turns on the TV)
ANNOUNCER: �the police said the individual was about 5 feet 10
inches tall and wore a mask.
There were reports he was seen driving away in a blue Monza.
Now on to some lighter news. In Medellin, Colombia, ten schoolchildren squeezed
into a Renault 4 car and broke a Guinness Record.
In Rainham, England a bank robber was arrested after trying to escape ON A
BICYCLE. I guess he wasn�t in a hurry.
In Motown Kentucky a 25-year old woman wants to strengthen her tummy muscles.
She drinks only fruit juices and lies down with two cinder blocks on her tummy
for five hours every day. I think she�s on a �crush� diet.
And there�s a man in Wellington, New Zealand who is
completing 25 continuous days at the top of a 40-foot pole. You might say that�s one way of getting away from it all.
On to weather. Tomorrow should be fine with about 75 degrees��.

Book.

the place are marveled at the decor and reasonable prices, also has a variety
of menus and tables elegant, the waiter is attentive.
We also compare

the service at El Charro is worse than at La Carreta.
More expensive,

top choice!
The prices are
the least expensive.
Their food is the
most delicious.
It has the best
