TASK 2. READING SECTION. Read the text and match the right items.

1. Shop bargains.

2. Shopping - evil or entertainment?

3. The NET shopping.

A. What is shopping? It is rather a tricky question, in my opinion, as for different people shopping means different things: it may be a household duty, a favourite leisure activity or something else. For most men it is an ordeal, they can hardly bear more than twenty minutes in any shop and prefer doing any kind of hard work to accompanying their wives or girlfriends in a boutique or a supermarket. For women shopping is a kind of entertainment, they can spend hours choosing a T-shirt or a pair of shoes.

B. Modern technology affects people`s lifestyles and daily routine. Now we can do our shopping not only in stores or markets but also on the Internet. No doubt shopping online is more convenient and less time consuming but on the other hand buying clothes without trying them on or perfume without smelling it may not seem a good idea.

C. While Internet purchases seem to be the most advanced kind of shopping flea markets attract more and more people. Lots of people go there in search of bargains. Back yard or garage sales are also a good way to buy a useful thing (household goods, toys, books, CDs) at a low price; unfortunately they are not so popular in our country as, for example, in the USA.

TASK 2. READING SECTION. Read the text and write all adverbs in three degrees of comparative in the table.

Shopping is an important part of every man's life. Now when people can't make everything they need, they buy everything they need for work and leisure. There are many types of shops one can go to. The most important division is between small shops and large department stores and supermarkets.

Shopping can tell us a lot about any country and its culture. In the Near East, bargaining is a part of tradition and a kind of art. In Russia we more often pay in cash while in Western Europe cards are more common and shoppers even get a discount if they hay in cash.

Shopping for food is less exciting but may be more essential. One can choose between small groceries and big food shops, chain stores and supermarkets. In contrast to small shops they are more spacious and well laid out, with the goods arranged tidily and attractively on long lines of shelves and in refrigerator units. A bewildering multitude of signs, posters and advertising displays draw the attention of customers to this or that product or "special offer". Because of their big size big stores are able to offer a much wider selection of good than their small competitors and at a lower price.

So they are large, efficient, well organized and modern but at the same time somewhat soulless and impersonal. Nevertheless very few people feel nostalgic about the time when there were neither supermarkets nor food on the shelves of local shops.
