All people can be divided into shopaholics and those who hate shopping. I definitely fall into the second category, but as we all know shopping is a pressing necessity. I do little shopping during the week because I’m usually busy studying. If I do go somewhere to buy some food it’s within walking distance from my home. For instance, I occasionally go to the butcher’s to buy some meet or to the greengrocer’s for some vegetables. I sometimes go to the chemist’s if I need some medicine.
I try to do most of the shopping at the weekend when I have plenty of time. I usually go to a supermarket where I can buy not only food by also household goods such as cleaning products. I always make a shopping list not to forget anything. Among the items on my list are bread and bakery, cereals, meat and dairy products, fruit vegetables, drinking water and juice. As you can see it’s rather long, so if you asked me if I’m a «basket-person» or a «trolley-person» I would take a shopping cart and go down the aisles. When I’m done with everything on the list, I head for the till and pay for my purchase. When I don’t want to spend time doing the shopping myself I can have food delivered to my place. I choose what I need from an online catalogue; place my order on the site and wait for a courier to deliver it.
If I need some clothes I go shopping in a department store or a shopping centre because they offer good value. I never go to boutiques or upmarket shops because they are rather pricy and I can’t afford them. I often go shopping online. There are great benefits of shopping online. Competition is high, so there are always great sales and promotions. You also save time by shopping online.
So, that’s practically all about my going shopping. As I’ve already said I hate it. And you?
In my essay, I would not like to go into too much detail about how important family is to a person. It is a great value. It saves you from loneliness, gives you love and intimacy. For a child, this should be a reliable environment where they are taught to learn about the world, where they are taken care of, where they will always be helped. For an adult, it's the same.
It's good to know that there are people who love you, no matter what you are. And we are always ready to support you. These people are parents, children, siblings, grandparents.
I am more interested in the question: why are some people unhappy in the family? Why do marriages break up? Why do adult children forget about their parents or, on the contrary, parents treat their babies poorly? We see many examples of this around. There is even a social term: "dysfunctional family". And why do people often quarrel even in seemingly happy families?
Some people even say: the relatives are tormented, nothing can be done in their own way. And you don't have to get married or get married at all.
In search of an answer, I opened the encyclopedia to find out what definition is given to the family in society. Family? — a small group based on marriage or consanguinity, whose members are connected by common life, mutual assistance, moral and legal responsibility. That's it, you don't have to read any more. There should be mutual assistance in the family. And not so that one person helps everyone, while others "carry water" on it. If there is no mutual assistance, then there is no family at all, even if people are relatives.
But if there is a family, what should it be? Of course, the best family – dad, mom, children, grandparents. It is probably not for nothing that such a friendly family is considered ideal in Russia. The father is the head of the family, the mother is the Keeper of the family hearth, grandparents do not get bored alone, children have someone to communicate with.
But if such a family for some reason did not develop, then you can not consider any other incomplete. For example, there is a mother and child. Or grandparents and their grandchildren. Or a single father with children. Or just husband and wife. In such a family, although it is considered incomplete by society, there may be more love than in a traditional one.
The main thing is not to lock yourself in your family. A person lives not only in it, but in the big world and in a big society. If someone thinks that he will be "good" only for his family, and no more friends, but all enemies, then soon his family will begin to get into trouble.
Why is it difficult for a person in the family? I found the answer. Because people can be selfish. They are sometimes considered to be close to their property. They demand submission from their relatives, constant support, forgetting that everyone invests equal shares of love and understanding in a real family.
