Out of all services used by people shop service is the most frequent and it's no wonder. Shops are supplied with the necessary things which people buy to keep themselves living. There are different types of shops in cities. The biggest of them are groceries and department stores. Lately supermarkets have become popular. In big cities there are huge grocery stores.
Shops takes a great part of our life. These days shopping has become the way not only to buy things we need, but also the way to relax, to entertain especially for women. Some women even consider shopping to be a kind of promenade. That is to show themselves and to look at others. Besides for some women shopping has become a real disease, that is having no shopping one day, they feel themselves ill. Psychologists call such people shopaholics.
Nowadays the process of shopping is an easy one. People prefer supermarkets to any other shops. Because in a supermarket you can buy practically all necessary thing and spend less time. You can buy meal, household chemistry and clothes. In large cities, some people have not enough free time and consequently they go shopping 1-2 times a week, they buy products and other necessary things for the whole week. They take their buying to the car which is left on parking not far from the supermarket. It is really very convenient.
Many people also prefer supermarkets, because after they buy all necessary things , they pay only one time at the cash desk. The shop assistant weighs goods on scales and says how much they cost. At big grocery shops there is a special delivery service where you can make your orders by phone or in person. The charge for delivery service is quite reasonable. However, the people who are on the look out for the best quality like to see what they are getting. They prefer not to do their ordering by phone. The people have to make sure that they don't do over their daily allowance. The family budget must always be kept balanced.
I live in N town. In N town there are a lot of different shops and supermarkets. In the centre of the city there are several department stores, in which there are a lot of different departments and large assortment of goods. However, I consider that in N town the network of supermarkets is not so developed, as for example in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In N town there are no such known supermarkets as HaxepOHKa, KoneftKa, AmaH, in which large assortment of goods has reasonable prices. As for me, I do not like to go shopping, because it takes a lot of time and I get tired very much.
BBC Company
If I would be offered to be a CEO of a well-known company, I would like to be a CEO of a TV-company for example BBC Company. We I’d like to say some words about this company.
The British Broadcasting Corporation, which is usually known simply as the BBC, is the world's largest broadcasting corporation. It has 28,500 employees in the United Kingdom alone with an annual budget of more than £4 billion. Founded on 18 October 1922 as the British Broadcasting Company Ltd, it was subsequently granted a Royal Charter and was made a publicly funded corporation in 1927. The corporation produces programmes and information services, broadcasting globally on television, radio, and the Internet. The stated mission of the BBC is "to inform, educate and entertain" (as laid down by Parliament in the BBC Charter); its motto is "Nation Shall Speak Peace Unto Nation". The BBC is a quasi-autonomous public corporation as a public service broadcaster. The Corporation is run by the BBC Trust; and is, per its charter, "free from both political and commercial influence and answers only to its viewers and listeners. The BBC's domestic programming and broadcasts are primarily funded by levying television licence fees (under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949), although money is also raised through commercial activities such as sale of merchandise and programming. The BBC World Service, however, is funded through a grant-in-aid by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. As part of the BBC Charter, the Corporation cannot show commercial advertising on any services in the United Kingdom (television, radio, or internet). It reaches more than 200 countries and is available to more than 274 million households, to CNN's (its nearest competitor) estimated 200 million, which also gives it the largest News channel in the world. Its radio service is in the short wavelength, which makes it available to many regions of the world. It also broadcasts news - by radio or over the Internet - in some 33 languages.
