Father: This is a present for you, son.
Nguyen: A kite! How cool! Thank you, dad.
Father: I made it for you, just like your grandfather used to make one for me.
Nguyen: Is it a family tradition?
Father: Yes, for generations.
Nguyen: I love it. So when you were a kid, what did you use to do for entertainment?
Father: Oh, it was all very simple back then. We didn't have television or the internet. A mobile movie team used to come once every two months, and everyone from the village would be there. The children were always early, trying to get a place near the screen.
Nguyen: I suppose it was a special occasion, wasn't it?
Father: Sure.
Nguyen: I wish there were movie teams like that now.
Father: Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
Nguyen: Then how did you get to know about the world outside?
Father: We had the radio; actually, only wealthy people did. The whole village used to listen to the news programme through a loudspeaker.
Nguyen: Wow, I can't imagine that.
Father: I know. The world's changed a lot, son. It's much easier now.
Nguyen: Do you miss the past, dad?
Father: I suppose I do. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that time.

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.
