听一分钟英文：Supermarkets-超市

I think supermarkets are interesting places. They are packed with thousands of different kinds of goods and products. There is an army of workers making sure the shelves are stocked¹ and everything looks nice. And the prices are usually cheap. The only thing I don’t like about supermarkets is when I have to pay. I hate waiting in line at the check-outs. Another thing I hate is when I get a trolly with a wobbly wheel. I really like going to supermarkets in different countries. Each country has very different things. In England, you’ll see a huge cheese section; in Japan, you’ll see a whole aisle² selling seaweed; in the Middle East, you’ll see shelves and shelves of dates and olives³; and my favourite is India and the hundreds of colourful spices⁴.
