I like to do shopping in a big department stores and supermarkets. They sell various goods under one roof. They make sales/discounts on different kinds of goods. I like self-service shops where the customers go from counter to counter selecting and putting things into a basket. For me shopping is a kind of spending time.

Websites are secure these days. U can avoid long lines shopping online.As to disadvantages u cant touch iteme or try it on, if u order from abroad u should wait ur goods about a month .

The reader is allowed to borrow books for a certain number of days. The catalogues help the reader to find the books and not damage them in any way. We should not make notes in library books or dog's ears in the pages. The reading rooms in the public libraries are open to all who wish to work there. We can get periodical newspapers files and magazines to read there. Readers come to the reading rooms to study and prepare materials for their reports or for their scientific work.
