Many years ago, people used to buy what they needed from stores and markets. Now where would you go if you wanted to buy all these goods at one time? Ask anybody, and he would probably say "you'd better go to the supermarket". A supermarket is a special kind of market. It is usually much larger than an ordinary store. In a supermarket, you can buy all kinds of food, household, products and daily necessities. In a store, a customer is served by a storekeeper but in a supermarket, the goods are arranged on rows of shelves along the aisles. The prices are printed on small labels on the goods. A customer gets goods he needs from the shelves. This is known as self-service. Of course, you can always ask for help from the supermarket shop assistants.
When you enter a supermarket, you take a basket to carry the goods you will buy. If you want to buy a lot of things, you will need a trolley. A trolley is like a large basket on wheels. You can push it along the aisles, choose what you want from the shelves and put it into your trolley. A supermarket often provides a more comfortable environment for shopping than a market that is usually wet and dirty. As a result, many people usually buy more goods than they need when they visit a supermarket.

Dear Mr. Lawrence,
I have seen your advertisement for summer language courses and I am thinking of attending one for two or three weeks. Could you please send me more information and details of prices?
I would particularly like to know how many students attend the schools, their age and
how many students there are in a class. Also, can you explain what is included in the sports program and what amenities there are near the school? For example, is there a cinema or swimming-pool in little Pennington? Could you tell me something about your staff? Are they all qualified teachers?
Lastly, as I am a music student, I wish very much to stay with a family who has a piano that I can practice on
Do you think it would be possible to arrange this?
I look forward to receiving your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Daniel Rovetta
