At the book shop

Visiting the bookshop There are many holidays in Kyrgyzstan. The 1^st of September is a very popular holiday among pupils. It is the Day of Knowledge. Pupils usually prepare for this day. Last year my friends Dima and Erbol rang me up on the 25^th of August. They invited me to visit bookshops. We discussed what we had to buy and how we had to prepare for the 1^st of September. Dima said that his mother had bought a new grey suit and white shirt for him. Erbol told us how they had gone to the shop and bought new boots and nice bag for school. I was glad that my friends had bought new things for school. We decided to go to the bookshops to buy copybooks, pens and pencils. We agreed to meet at the bus stop at 11 o’clock in the morning. I was in a hurry and wasn’t late. Dima was in time, too. But Erbol didn’t come at 11 o’clock and we were waiting for him during 10 minutes. When we met, we went to the nearest bookshop. It was situated in Masaliev street. There were many people in the shop. We looked at the counter and saw some nice pens and pencils. There were many new and interesting books in the shop. We looked through some of them. I paid attention to one of them. It was an English book about English customs and traditions. My friends said that it would be interesting and useful to find out about Easter, April Fool’s Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day In England. We asked about the price of this book and bought it.
