There are also escalators in big stores which take customers to different floors. The goods for sale are on the counters so that they can be easily seen.

In the men\'s clothing department you can choose suits, trousers, overcoats, ties etc. In the knitwear department one can buy sweaters, cardigans, short-sleeved and long-sleeved pullovers, woollen jackets. In the cosmetic department they sell perfume, face creams and powders, lipsticks, lotions, shower gels, soap, shampoos . .. In the supermarket we can also buy many different things in the same location: meat and sausages, fish, sugar, pasta, flour, cereals, tea, coffee, bread and whatnot. At the butcher\'s there is a wide choice of meat and poultry. At the baker\'s you can buy white or brown bread, rolls and biscuits. Another shop we frequently go to is the greengrocer\'s, which is stocked with cabbage, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots, beetroots, green peas and various fruits.
