8. The ways people do their shopping (text «How do you do the shopping»)

Shop- a most imp. part of our life and besides.some can’t imagine their life without it-others consid it to be boring and tiresome. On the whole there’re various ways different people do their shopping.

First of all, some consumers, esp. in supermarkets, always make up a list of goods that must be bought. they do so bec they are afraid to forget things they need. who are not keen on shopping, try to leave the supermarket as quickly as possible-tend to get in a bad mood during shopping. They prefer to shop on their own consid. it the best way of spending time together with their friends or even colleagues-can easily negotiate with salesmen-often manage to find bargains.

consumers who always exactly know what they need: quickly go from one shelf to an., putting in their trolleys goods. hate standing in a line. often people do window-shopping, esp. it concerns women.They enjoy walking up and down in front of shop windows looking at the range of goods on display. Speaking of myself, I must prefer going to the market and do my shopping very quickly as I’m always in a hurry. Nevertheless, if I have enough time I like to walk slowly looking at the range of goods on display. Furthermore, prices on the market without any doubt are considerable lower, so I am able to save my money.

8. The luck that Danny had one day

Sometimes it seems to me that our life is like a deep and completely unpredictable river with numerous turns and waterfalls. Furthermore, it is full of hardships which sometimes are very difficult to overcome. Nevertheless, everyone wants to be happy which means to have a loving family that can always support you, to have enough money to live on and, of course, to have a roof under one’s head. Unfortunately, some people don’t have anything at all and a young man called Danny is one of them. He is the main character of the story “Big business”. In fact, this fellow was very poor and miserable: he had nothing to eat, nowhere to live, and on the top of all he had a hole in his shoes. Well, someone may say that he should have found some work to start earning on his living. Actually, Danny had been looking for a job for a long time, but there was no even the ghost of a chance of getting one. It must be said, that Danny certainly was no a fool, he was good at anything, but still he had to smoke dog-ends thrown away by others and try to make both ends meet with only eight dollars and fifty cents in the torn pocket of his trousers. But at last good luck smiled at him. I t happened so that while hiding from a heavy rain in the main hall of the Post Office he found an envelope with a letter inside it. From the letter he found out that a one thousand dollar bill had been left by some mister in the inside pocket of his blue worsted suit, which he sold with some other things to the clothes dealer. Having got such a happy chance Danny decided to risk his last eight dollars and buy the suit. So, he went to this second-hand shop and asked the shop-keeper to bring him a suit, preferably worsted one. And the seller gave him the very suit that had been described in the letter. Danny tried it on and despite the jacket hung loosely from his narrow shoulders, he paid the price for it without bargaining. After a quarter of an hour Danny took out a black leather wallet, opened it and found there instead of a thousand dollar bill eleven thousand three hundred dollars. Danny couldn’t believe his eyes; he was so excited that he could hardly say a word. It turned out that the letter had been written on purpose by the dealer to earn more money. But alas the salesman had sold Danny the jacket of the shop-owner with all his money.

To sum up, I’d like to say that on the one hand it is immoral to read other people’s letters. But on the other hand I convinced that anyone being in Danny’s shoes would never refuse money or bring them back to the owner. In my opinion that is because we’re all human beings and love for money is our greatest weakness.
