SHOPS AND SHOPPING



1. When we want to buy some goods, we go to
the shop where it is sold. Before going shopping we make a list of items that
we require. We can go to a big department store which sells a variety of goods
and has a large selection, to a supermarket or to one of the numerous small
retail shops.



2. Ham, bacon, sugar, tea, coffee, salt,
pepper and so on are sold at the grocer's. Bread is sold at the baker's, meat
at the butcher's, vegetables at the greengrocer's, and fruit at the
fruiterer's. We go to the confectioner's for cakes and sweets.

We buy clothes at the men's and boys' or
ladies' and girls' outfitter's. When we want to buy boots and shoes we go to
the boot and shoe shop. To buy silver and gold jewellery or gold watches we go
to the jeweller's. We buy books at the bookseller's. People like to buy
brand-new goods.



3. Supermarkets are very popular with
shoppers because they sell not only food, but also ready-made clothes, hosiery
(socks, stockings, tights), toys and other goods.

Wholesalers sell to the shops and stores, and
the retailers sell to the customers who purchase or buy. Second-hand shops sell
second-hand goods.

The shoppers may pay for something by cheque,
in cash or buy it on "hire purchase". To do this, they pay a deposit
and then weekly or monthly installments according to the terms.



4. Behind the counter, ready to serve you is
the shopkeeper, or shop-assistant or salesman (salesgirl). They put your money
in a cash register, give you a receipt and your
change, and wrap up the article purchased. You may get some goods free (e.g.
free samples of shampoo, etc.).

NVENTORS AND INVENTIONS (A DIALOGUE)Pete: For thousands of years people led a primitive way of life and then incomparatively short period of time a gigantic leap has been made in the scientific andtechnical progress.Ann: I also thought of how much it had been done by the people to reach thepresent state of the development of the human society.Pete: Yes, Ann. And it is necessary to say that great contribution of thedevelopment of world science had also been made by the Russian scientists andinventors before the Revolution.Ann: Right you are, Pete. She does not know the names of the great Russianscientists and inventors such as Lomonosov, Mendeleyev, Sechenov, Pavlov,Michurin and many others?Pete: I think that it's hardly possible to name a branch of science in thedevelopment of which the Russian scientists have not played the greatest role. Whatdo you think of it, Ann?Ann: I am of your opinion. Lomonosov was an outstanding innovator both inthe humanities and in exact sciences. He founded the first Russian University.Mendeleyev’s greatest discovery was his Periodic 'System of Elements. Popovinvented radio. Sechenov and Pavlov «ere the world's greatest physiologists.Tsiolkovsky is the father of rocket flying. He had decided the principles of jet propelled flying machines for interplanetary communication.Pete: Michurin was the greatest Russian scientist and selectionist. His maindoctrine of the development of biology has been expressed in his conclusion: “Wecannot wait for favours from nature”CRAVITATIONAL WAVESIn 1916 Albert Einstein published his theory of general relativity. In one of its major aspectsthis is a theory of the nature and operation of gravitational forces with which Einstein intended toreplace the classical theory devised by Isaac Newton in the 17th century.Einstein’s theory makes a number of predictions that are radically different from those ofNewton. One of the most striking of these is that gravitational forces should be propagated in wavesin a manner similar to the way electric and magnetic forces are. These gravitational waves shouldconsist of cyclically fluctuating gravitational forces; they should carry energy from place to placeand they should cause minute fluctuations of the surfaces of objects they encounter.Any accelerated body could be a source of gravitational waves, but in practice physicistslook to large astronomical bodies such as oblate stars or binary stars.The prediction was that gravitational waves would be extremely weak: for a cylinder ametre long the amount of surface disturbance would be a fraction of the diameter of an atomicnucleus.For 40 years no one seriously looked for gravitational waves, but in the late 1950’s Dr.Weber began to develop equipment he thought would do the job. As receivers he used aluminiumcylinders of about a ton’s weight, and developed piezoelectric sensors that can record fluctuationsin the surface of these cylinders amounting to fractions of a nuclear diameter.In 1969 Dr.Weber announced that his equipment had recorded gravitational waves. Sincethen he has been subjected to criticism, based mainly on his statistical analysis of the data. In spiteof the waves, experiments are now in progress both in this country and the United States.Most of these try to make the detectors more sensitive or to design new kinds of detectorsthat will record frequency ranges other then the one – 1.660 cycles per second (Hertz– thatDr.Weber has pioneered)

May 17 in Novosibirsk and other cities of Russia held the event "Night of Museums". My friends and I planned a hike in Novosibirsk crematorium. He was part of a list of museums that can be visited at night. Nobody thought that there will be a lot of people, a maximum of 10-20 people. But when we saw a huge number of people, it is very surprised. The weather was terrible it was very cold and it snowed, but it did not spoil our mood. On the territory of the crematorium is a beautiful park. The building itself is black and orange. It is perfect. That night was entertainment on "Russian Fairy Tales". We passed three buildings. The first was a hangar, where a lot of interesting exhibits. I could play chess with a monster or another game. And you can go into a crystal coffin and photographed it. The second building is a museum of funerary culture. There is also very interesting. We saw a real coffin of Pharaoh that archaeologists have found. There you can see the dust was, "postmortem photographs," mourning clothes and much more. The third building was itself a crematorium. Inside it has not been such fun as in other buildings. Here we saw the cabinet where the person to prepare the funeral, and the furnace room where the ceremony takes place. It was also interesting. Inside and outside the building there are many cells where people leave the ashes of a loved one.
Coming whole territory we went home with a lot of positive emotions. This is all in a nutshell, because all that we have seen is impossible to write, need to go there yourself!
