Task 1. Read the text about a new supermarket. Find the definitions of the underlined words. Shopping by Phone
On the walls of an underground station in Seoul, South Korea, there are a lot of pictures of food and drinks: bananas, meat, rice, coffe, even pet food. But these are not advertisements. This is the world’s first “virtual” supermarket, called “Homeplus”.
The supermarket is unusual because you use the special Homeplus app on your smartphone to go shopping. When you want to buy something, you use this app to scan the barcodes of the products you want. You put them in your online shopping trolley and then you pay by phone. You haven’t got any heavy bags to carry because the supermarket delivers everything to your house for you.
South Koreans like shopping online and millions of them have smartphones, but are they ready for this type of shopping? “Young Koreans use their smartphones to do a lot of different tasks every day” says a Homeplus virtual store manager. “Our costumers work really hard and don’t have enough time to go to the supermarket. Our store helps them.” So, is this the future?
