V. Time to Listen and Read!
1. Listen to / read about shopping in Canada and say where Canadians do the shopping and why.
FOOD SHOPPING IN CANADA
People love to shop. There are two kinds of shopping in the Canadian lifestyle: food shopping and non-food shopping. Canadians prefer nonfood shopping to food shopping but have to do both.
Most Canadians shop for food twice a month. These are large shopping trips. It is common to buy a lot of products at a time: packages of sugar, rice, cans of meat or fish, bags of cookies, boxes of sweets and the like. They want to buy milk, butter, bread, fruits and vegetables fresh. Canadians visit the grocer’s, the greengrocer’s, the dairy, the baker’s once a week.
Children like to shop at the confectionery. They usually buy maple syrup which they like to eat with pancakes or bread. Sometimes they buy a butter tart or chocolates if they have enough pocket money.
Don’t get lost at the supermarket. Take a shopping cart, look around and read the names of the departments. Then choose the products, put them into the shopping cart and go to the cash-desk. Show your buys to the cashier and pay for them.
For some Canadians many products are high priced that’s why they do the shopping at the market place. They believe the quality of products is higher there and the prices are lower. Besides, you shouldn’t stand in a line. There is a special market day in every town and village. The products are displayed on the market stands and you can choose whatever you like. Fruit vendors would you come up to everyone saying: “Would you like the freshest apples in Canada? Shall I offer you the sweetest pears?” It’s enough to tempt you, isn’t it?
Across Culture: Canada
Maple Syrup /’meipl ‘sairsp/ – кленовий сироп, популярний у Канаді.
Butter tart – особливий вид тістечка канадського походження.
A fruit vendor – продавець, який торгує фруктами з візка або з корзини.
A market stand – торговельний прилавок.
2. Look and say at what department you can buy these products.
Example: We can buy sugar at the grocer’s.
3. Say how the following phrases can describe food shopping in Canada.
