Supermarket: Buying Groceries
Supermarket: Buying Groceries
I usually go to the supermarket about once or twice a week to buy groceries. Since I do a lot of shopping, I usually need a shopping cart to carry everything. I first stop by the deli counter to pick up some sliced cheese. Then, I look for some fruits and vegetables in the produce section, but I make sure they are fresh. My kids like milk, so I swing by the dairy section and grab a few gallons of milk. Also, there are times when I don't have much time to cook, so I usually pick up some microwaveable meals in the frozen food section. If the store is out of stock of any of the items I need, then I drop by a different supermarket on my way home. I generally pay with cash at the checkout counter.

Train Station
Train Station
I always take the train to work. At the station, I walk up to a ticket machine, select my destination by pressing a button on the machine, insert the correct change, and press another button to purchase a ticket. When the ticket comes out, I take it and go through the gate to the train platform. At some stations, there is a ticket window where I can buy a ticket and then pass through a wicket machine. While I'm waiting for the train, I sometimes buy a newspaper at a kiosk (newstand), and I might grab something to drink. Smoking is prohibited on the platform to protect everyone's health. When the train approaches, people start lining up behind the yellow line. If the train is very crowded, I sometimes wait for the next train. When the train arrives, I get on and find a seat. Often, the train is packed with passengers, so I just have to stand.

Used Car Dealership
Used Car Dealership
If you are looking for a car to drive, you can either buy a used vehicle (previously-owned car) or a new one. I suggest you buy a used car, but there are a few things you should keep in mind to get the best deal. First of all, be sure to shop around for the best used car, and you should visit a used car dealership that you can trust. Your friends might be able to tell you which places have good reputations. Next, be sure you know beforehand the prices of the types of cars you want to buy, so you don't end up spending more than a car is worth. Next, don't immediately accept the sticker price on the car. Of course, keep in mind that the car salesman is out to make a profit, so you can haggle（砍价） over the price to make sure you are satisfied. Next, you might be able to trade in (折价卖）your old vehicle for some money to reduce the price on the car you want to buy. Finally, you might want to take the car to an independent mechanic to have a complete inspection to see if there are any problems with the vehicle. Better safe than sorry.

Dental Care: Brushing Your Teeth
Dental Care: Brushing Your Teeth
Every morning, I brush my teeth right after I eat breakfast. I put a little toothpaste on my toothbrush and then brush for about two or three minutes. I brush up and down to reach the spaces between my teeth. I also use dental floss to remove food particles （饭渣）between my teeth. I used to use an electric toothbrush, but it didn't work very well. I'm also using a tooth whitening kit（美白牙套） to whiten my teeth because I think a brighter smile will make a better impression on people and will give me more self-confidence. When I finish brushing, I rinse my mouth and my toothbrush. Then, I put my toothbrush away in the bathroom medicine cabinet（药箱）.

Kitchen Cleaning:
Mopping Floors and Washing Dishes
One of the chores I dislike the most is cleaning the kitchen. On Saturdays, I usually do a thorough job of cleaning the entire kitchen. First of all, I clean all of the dishes, put them in the dish drainer to air dry, and then scrub out the kitchen sinks. (Because our dishwasher is broken, I have to do everything by hand.) After they are dry, I put the dishes away in the cupboard. Next, I clean off the stove top, wipe down the counter tops, and clean the walls. I also organize the cupboards to make sure we are stocked up on food. Once that is done, I put the kitchen chairs on the table, wipe down the legs, and then sweep the floor with a broom and a dustpan. After that, I mop the entire floor.

Clothing: Getting Dressed in Fashion
Clothing: Getting Dressed in Fashion
Everyday, I try to dress for the occasion. If I'm going to visit friends, I generally dress casually. I wear jeans, and I might throw on a t-shirt. In the case of a date, I usually wear a nice dress shirt-, but nothing too formal. In the past, I made it a habit to dress up for work in a suit and a tie because it was important to give a good impression, but more people are dressing down in the workplace, and this is more accepted now. When I exercise, I generally wear some shorts and a shirt, and I put on comfortable shoes. Overall, I think new fashions are replacing traditional ones, but I also think we should also try to preserve typical traditional clothing. It's a part of our culture and heritage.
