When we want to buy something, we go to a shop. Although every town or city has many kinds of shops, many of these are typical: a supermarket, a department store, men`s and women`s clothing stores, a grocer`s, a baker`s, a greengrocer`s, a diary and a butcher `s.
Alexander `s family like to do their shopping at big department stores and supermarkets. These sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient. A department store, for example, true to its name, consists of many departments: ready-made clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods, toys, china and glass, electrical appliances and electronics, cosmetics, linen, curtains, books, gifts, jewellery etc. You can buy anything you like there.
There are also escalators in big stores which take customers to different floors. The goods for sale are on the counters so that they can be easily seen. In the women`s clothing department you can find dresses, suits, blouses, skirts, coats, beautiful underwear and many other things. In the men`s clothing department you can choose suits, trousers, overcoats, ties etc. In the knitwear department one can buy sweaters, cardigans, short-sleeved and long-sleeved pullovers, woolen jackets. In the cosmetic department they sell perfume, face creams and powders, lipsticks, lotions, shower gels, soap, shampoos…
In the supermarket we can also buy many different things in the same location: meat and sausages, fish, sugar, pasta, flour, cereal, tea, coffee, bread and whatnot.
At the butcher`s there is a wide choice of meat and poultry. At the baker`s there is a wide choice of brown or white bread, rolls and biscuits.
Another shop we frequently go to is the greengrocer `s, which is stocked with cabbage, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots, beetroots, green peas and various fruits. Everything is sold here ready-weighed and packed.
If you call round at a diary, you can buy milk, cream, cheese, butter and many other milk products.

On the one hand a 50 year period for the country is not very long but on the other hand great changes have been rapidly taking place in this country since the 70s. What are these changes? First of all I'd like to mention the development of new technologies in modern society, for example wireless connection, appearance of the mobile phones. For people from that time it was fantastic but for all of us its quite an ordinary thing today. Then we can't stand mentioning the Internet that is a necessary thing almost everywhere nowadays and it's difficult to imagine how people lived, worked and studied without computers at that time.Well, people smoke more than now. They ate less vegetable and fruit. Good news people live longer nowadays than they lived 50 years ago. Bad news the difference between the life of the rich and the poor became much more. To my mind, on the whole the life in this country became more complicated than it was 50 years ago, but more challenging and interesting.
Жизнь в этой стране 50 лет назад.С одной стороны 50-летний период для страны это не очень много, но с другой стороны большие перемены, стремительно происходят в этой стране с 70-х годов. Каковы эти изменения? Прежде всего хотелось бы отметить развитие новых технологий в современном обществе, например, беспроводной связи, появление мобильных телефонов. Для людей того времени это было фантастическим, но для всех нас это вполне обычное дело сегодня. Затем, мы не можем не упоминуть интернет; это вещь необходимая практически везде в наше время и трудно представить, как люди жили, работали и учились без компьютеров в то время. На мой взгляд, жизнь в этой стране теперь стала более сложной, чем она была 50 лет назад, но более интересной (благодаря новым технологиям).
