supermarkets

Supermarkets are an important part of daily life in Britain.Two of them, Asda and Tesco, are aslo the biggest sellers of clothes in Britain.

On shelves you can find all the food and drink you need.You can buy sports equipment, bicycles, books, tous and games, CDs and DVDs.The very big supermarkets are usually on the edge of towns and most people drive to them.There are many more supermarkets now than 20 years ago.People find it very convenient to do all their shopping in one place.It's even more convenient to shop from home.A lot of people now use online shopping.

But not eberyone likes supermarkets.Small shops in towns and villages are closing because supermarkets can sell the same things cheaper. So people without cars have less choice.As a result, the big supermarkets have started to open small shops in town and city centres.Many supermarkets are open 24 hours a day and seven days a week, so people can shop 24/7.But not on Sundays whrn shops can only open for five hours.
