Going to the Supermarket

Before class please watch both videos and answer the questions.

 

1. How did you feel about this British supermarket?
2. What was surprising about Sainsbury's for you?
3. Would you like to go shopping there?
4.  What are the differences between British supermarkets and Japanese ones?
5. In the second video, what was interesting for you?
6. What changes could you see in the video?
7. From the video, what has not changed in Britain?

Up until 1999, when I came to Japan, I shopped at Sainsbury's. But I was surprised by the first video, there have been a lot of changes. But when I was growing up, my mother shopped at a lot of different small shops: butchers　肉屋, greengrocers やお屋の店 and chemists 薬局. Each had its own atmosphere and individuality. Before class think about a shop you remember from your childhood and prepare to tell the class about it.
