When we are short of some things that we need, we go to the nearest shop. We should be able to get what we need there. If it does not come true, we must go to a different one. The most commonly frequented shops are food stores. That’s where we go to buy what is the most important for us and it is also the most in demand – food and drinks. In a small shop or stand the shopkeeper himself assists us. In a supermarket we take a trolley or a basket and we pick our food ourselves. Most food stores have not one but several departments.

Why do people travel? There are many answers and reasons for it. The fact is that for many of us travelling is a true hobby. We live under continuous stress, surrounded by concrete, bricks and stone. We enjoy coming back to green nature because it has a positive effect on our physical and mental well-being. Nowadays we are able to travel even to distant countries, where we can get acquainted with new cultures, interesting people and their customs, and compare the differences between the way of living in our country and the land we are visiting.

The person who I admire is a world-known writer Agatha Christie. I go very often to the library. The first book from her I chose more or less by a chance, in short I liked her cover, her title page. But that book captivated me so much, that I went to the library again and borrowed further book from Agatha. She didn´t stop to surprise me with her novels. I have read about twenty her novels and if I had more time, I would read furthers.

In the railway station in a large town the first thing you will notice in the main hall is several ticket offices. There people buy one-way tickets or return tickets, and those who go regularly to work by train can get season tickets. The station clock above the entrance to the platforms is anxiously watched by passengers in the queues outside the ticket offices. To miss a train can be rather unpleasant; the next train may not leave for several hours, or perhaps you will have to change trains somewhere and wait for connection. Another complication is that the person who is planning to meet you at your destination will not know what went wrong with the arrangements. That is why it is better to plan to get to the station early; a quarter of an hour should be enough leeway to allow for any traffic jams on your way there.

SMOKING AND DRUGS

An important health issue for many young people is smoking. Millions of teenagers know it’s bad for them, but they still do it. Why? Some say it relaxes them when they are nervous. Others like the taste. Many say it’s a habit and they can’t stop it now.

For tobacco companies cigarettes mean profit, for doctor and health organizations they mean disease. The two sides are fighting a very expensive battle. About 100 million people around the world work in tobacco industry. Cigarette-smoking kills 2.5million people every year. Many of them die of lung cancer. Some aren’t smokers.

For many people in our country food, eating, sometimes also cooking, is a downright pleasure. There are some people who eat just once a day - they have one continuous meal, others are figure-conscious and try to fast, cut down on some fat and sugar, or go on a slimming diet. For many others cooking and eating is a nuisance and they do not care much about meals. On the whole we eat more than the British or Americans do and our food is known to be less healthy. The Czechs are used to eating many floury, sweet and fatty meals, such as dumplings, pastry (cakes, sweets), fat pork and sausages. Our food should consist of more vegetables, fruit, lean meat, poultry and fish which would supply our bodies with more vitamins and minerals. There is no expression in English for "dobrou chuť", which perhaps reflects the English attitude to food.
