Supermarket- Unit 3

The Supermarket
Supermarkets are an important part of daily life in Britain.
The five biggest supermarkets sell 80% of all groceries thats food and drink.
It's got nearly 2,000 shops in Britain and is the third biggest supermarkets in the world.
Two of them, Asda and Tesco, are also the biggest sellers of clothes in Britain.


You can buy sports equipment, bicycles, books, toys and games, CDs and DVDs.
The very big supermarkets are usually on the edge of towns and most people drive to them.
There are many more supermarkets now than 20 years old.

But not everyone likes supermarkets. Small shops in towns and villages are cosing 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.
