1. Shopping for food in the United States today is not the same as it used to be. In the past, every neighbourhood had a little food market. Now every neighbourhood has a big supermarket. These are very different places. The old markets were usually small and friendly. People from the neighbourhood often stopped there to hear the news or to talk. However, this is not true in today’s supermarkets.

　　 Supermarkets are usually large and not very friendly. They are not good place for meeting friends or talking. Many people in supermarkets seem to be tired and in a hurry. Often they are not very polite.
