At the Supermarket.
There are many kinds of shops catering for needs of the population. You can go shopping to small food stores: the grocery store, liquor store, store of dairy products, butcher’s, bakery, greengrocer’s, fishmonger’s, confectionery, candy store.
But I prefer to shop in large stores — supermarkets. Supermarkets sell more than just food. Many sell items for the car, household goods, cosmetics and cigarettes. Some even sell books, medicines and flowers.
A large modern supermarket has been opened recently not far from my block of flats and most often I go shopping there. I am its regular customer now.
When you come into the supermarket, you have to take a food basket or a shopping cart to put all the products you buy.
All the necessary foodstuffs can be bought here: meat, fish, milk, grocery, baked items, sweets, cooked sausages, smoked foods, vegetables and fruit.

Когда я впервые пролистала этот учебник, то сразу же захотела поделиться им с вами. English for Restaurant Workers — это удивительно интересный, легкий для запоминания, и очень практичный учебник по английскому, который вы можете скачать бесплатно по ссылке в конце статьи. Чтобы вы поняли насколько он интересный и нетрудный я приготовила много скриншотов иллюстраций из этого издания.
Так выглядит обложка книги.
Содержание. Для тех, кому интересно о чем учебник, я специально сделала скрин оглавления.
Один из вариантов внутренней планировки типичного американского ресторана.
Очень познавательно даже для тех, кто не собирается работать в сфере общественного питания.
Термические способы приготовления пищи. Теперь вы точно будете знать, что заказать в американском ресторане, или как понять, чем вас кормят в русском.
Названия популярных алкогольных коктейлей, вина, пива.
Классический зарубежный учебник всегда содержит рисованные иллюстрации и комиксы.
Веселые задания по английскому языку на тему лексики. Несложные и полезные.
English for restaurant workers предназначен на мой взгляд для всех кто изучает английский язык, культуру американского питания и быта. Что отличает русские учебники от американских? В американских пишут сами носители языка и культуры, в русских — наши соотечественники. Но, кто может лучше самого американца знать его особенности и привычки. Учебник по английскому English for restaurant workers я так же с удовольствием рекомендую преподавателям из школ, лицеев, гимназий и не языковых факультетов высших учебных заведений. Большая часть изучаемой там лексики — повседневная, а значит ее знание гарантирует вашим ученикам, что они смогут свободно общаться на многие темы. Владение навыками хорошей устной речи у ваших учеников, это должно стать вашей целью, если вы преподаватель. Однако, если вы сами изучаете английский, или планируете поездку, то это учебник английского и для вас окажется очень полезным, а самое главное, он легкий и интересный.
Основные характеристики English for restaurant workers:
— Включает в себя английский словарь, необходимый в этой сфере деятельности.
— Иллюстрирует важную работу конкретных глаголов и существительных.
— Показывает, как работает ресторан изнутри.

Книгу так же можно купить, для многих работа с бумажным учебником гораздо удобнее.

5 Óðîê 1 SHOPPING (ÏÎÊÓÏÊÈ) Òåêñò À At the Supermarket There are many kinds of shops catering for needs of the population. You can go shopping to small food stores: the grocery store, liquor store, store of dairy products, butcher s, bakery, greengrocer s, fishmonger s, confectionery, candy store. But I prefer to shop in large stores supermarkets. Supermarkets sell more than just food. Many sell items for the car, household goods, cosmetics and cigarettes. Some even sell books, medicines and flowers. A large modern supermarket has been opened recently not far from my block of flats and most often I go shopping there. I am its regular customer now. When you come into the supermarket, you have to take a food basket or a shopping cart to put all the products you buy. All the necessary foodstuffs can be bought here: meat, fish, milk, grocery, baked items, sweets, cooked sausages, smoked foods, vegetables and fruit. 5
7 In the meat aisle the customers can buy beef, pork, mutton, veal, poultry and game. There is always a rich choice of fish there: live carp, pike, bream and sheat fish. There is much fresh-frozen fish: perch, cod, plaice and some other like pike-perch and sturgeon.there is herring, kipper and much tinned fish too. In the grocery aisle you can see all kinds of cereals: oatmeal, semolina, rice, buckwheat, millet, pearl barley. You can buy cooking soda, spices, flour, pea, potato flour, salt, oil, macaroni, vermicelli, noodles and some other products. Everything is sold in ready packets. You go to the dairy counter to buy milk products. There is always a wide choice of them: milk in bottles and packets, cream, kefir, sour cream, cheese, curds, cottage cheese, cream cheese, many kinds of yogurt, mayonnaise, margarine and butter. Most often eggs are sold in the dairy department too. At the bread counter you take loaves of brown (rye) or white (wheat) bread, rusks, rolls and buns. There is a big choice of items in the confectionery: sugar, granulated sugar, caramel, sweets, chocolates, bars of chocolate, biscuits, pastry, jam puffs, fancy cakes, tarts, fruit cakes, wafers, marmalade and also tea, coffee, cocoa. Next to it is the delicatessen counter (deli) which offers you all kinds of sausages: boiled, half-smoked and smoked, liver paste, ham, lean boiled pork with spices (buzhenina), tinned beef and pork. The green grocery and fruit aisles look very attracting. Here you can buy fresh, tinned and dried vegetables, fruit and greens. Juicy pears, apples, plums, grapes, oranges, tangerines, bananas, lemons and pineapples are sold in every season. In spring and summer the shop has a great variety of berries: strawberries, cherries, raspberries, black and red currants, gooseberries. In autumn and winter red bilberries and cranberries and all year round you can have fruit and berry jams. After buying all the necessary products, you come up to the cashier s desk to pay the money. Sometimes there are a lot of customers in the shop and you have to get in line, but most often it doesn t take much time. If you are a smart shopper, you compare prices, pick out foodstuffs, always look at the date on the labels of perishable foods, check the change and look for bargains. As the English say, A penny saved is a penny earned.

These corner shops are often supermarkets in miniature and sell anything from sweets to sweat bands, from napkins to newspapers. Many of them are also open all day and half the night.
