Unit 3: Supermarkets

Supermarkets are an important part of daily life in Britain.
The five biggest supermarkets sell 80% of all groceries - that's food and drink. Tesco is the biggest.
In the larger supermarkets you can buy just about anythink. On the shelves you can find all the food and drink you need. You can buy sports equipment, bicycles, books, toys and games, CDs and DVDs.
Te very big supermarkets are usually on the edge of towns and most people drive to them.
This of course means that they can buy more and take it home in car.
But not everyone 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.
Many supermarkets are open 24 hours a day and seven days a week. but not on Sundays when shops can only open for five hours. That's enough for most people! But you can still shop online.
