Tolya: We had a grammar class yesterday. We discussed the use of articles in English.
Vera: No wonder. They are the shortes and yet the most difficult words in English.
Tolya: I don’t think all English people understand how they should use articles.
Vera: Neither do I. In many cases they are a complete mystery. Do you think one can realize the difference between the articles? Is it possible to learn how to use them?
Tolya: I am not quite sure. Our teacher says it is. We should simply have more grammar drills.
Vera: Wiil they really help? And then they are so boring!

День похода по магазинам.
Была суббота. Это тот день, когда мы делаем покупки. Моя мать часто берет меня с собой. У нас обычно есть длинный список покупок. Сначала мы шли к хлебопеку, чтобы получить хлеб. Тогда мы покупали молоко, сливочное масло, сметану и творог на молочные продукты. После этого мы шли к мяснику, где покупаели мясо, колбасы, стейк, ветчину или бекон. Мое любимое место - наш местный рынок. Он очень большой и приятный. Вы можете купить все, что вам нужно: еда, одежда и игрушки. Лучшими местами для покупок в большом городе являются супермаркеты и магазины.
