Срочно! нужен грамотный перевод текста! Many of us enjoy going shopping. We love the hustle of going to the high street, looking at shop windows, talking to shop assistants, examining various goods, comparing prices, trying clothes on and, finally, a few hours later, returning home exhausted, carrying bags full of brand new things. Alternatively, we go to large department stores or shopping centres and spend half the day there, shopping to our heart’s content. In fact, when most consumers these days think of shopping they think of a one-stop visit to a shopping centre. There are, however, quite a few people that don’t really like going shopping. When they absolutely have to buy something, they plan carefully, choose what they want and where they can get it, go to the shop, swiftly buy what they want and rush back home. Others don’t even go to the trouble of visiting the shops. They shop online or by mail order, and get everything delivered to them, without having to leave the comfort of their home. Most teenagers, though, really enjoy going to the shopping mall. This is a large shopping centre which contains hundreds of different shops, as well as other places where you can relax or have fun. For them, it’s not so much a place where they can do their shopping as one where they can socialize and make new friends. As a result, teenagers often arrange to meet and hang out at the mall, even if they have no intention of going shopping. This function of the shopping centre seems very much the same as the function of some of the oldest covered markets in the East, which can be seen as the forerunner of the modern mall. These markets are known as bazaars, which in Persian means “the place of prices”. The first covered market in the East was Isfahan’s Grand Bazaar, whose buildings go back to the 10th century, while the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, which was built in the 15th century, with its 58 streets and over 4,000 shops, is still one of the largest covered markets in the world. It seems that people’s habits haven’t really changed very much over the centuries. Going to the market was, and still is, a social networking event more than anything else. In the same way that people in the Middle East have always met, done business and had a cup of coffee in the traditional bazaars, contemporary teenagers meet and have fun in the multiplex cinemas and fast food restaurants of the various malls.
