so on.
3. You and services in our town
I often use leisure services in our town – I sometimes
go to the cinema with my friends, but not very often because tickets are expensive. I like to go to the fitness centre or to the swimming pool. When
I finish school and find a job, I will probably open a bank account in a bank.
My mother sometimes uses dry-cleaner’s, when she wants to have
her coat cleaned and she usually asks me to collect it /= požiada ma, aby som ho vyzdvihol/. I always use shopping services in our town.
I
think that it is good that shops are opened on Sunday, because some people don’t have time to do their shopping during the week, so they go
shopping on Sundays. It is also good, because when friends come to visit us on Sunday and we don’t have anything to offer them, we can go and buy
some food in a shop – for example crisps /zemiakové lupienky/, coffee, cakes and so on. On the other hand, people who work on Sundays and at the
weekend, don’t have much free time, because they have to be at work and so, maybe, it would be better if the shops were closed on Sundays, so they
could have more time to spend with their families.
