How are you today ?
Let's look at a lesson from stickyball.net today about going to the supermarket.
Grocery Shopping
1. Look at these pictures. Say something about them.
2. Read the story:
Charles is going to the supermarket.
Charles is looking in his refrigerator. A refrigerator is often called a ‘fridge’ for short. People put things that need to stay cold in the refrigerator. Things that need to be frozen are put in the freezer. Charles has to go to the supermarket today so he is making a shopping list. People usually make a list of things to buy before they go to the store. If you make a list then you won’t forget what to buy.
It has been a week since Charles went to the supermarket. There are only a few things in his refrigerator. There is a little milk and a little juice. There are a few eggs and a few apples. There is some cheese and some pasta noodles. There are a lot of onions and tomatoes but only one green pepper. There isn’t any lettuce or garlic. There isn’t any butter or bread either.
Charles is making dinner. He will start with a salad and then have spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread for the main course. For dessert, he’s making his famous apple pie with vanilla ice cream. His wife is excited because she doesn’t have to cook tonight. She is helping him make a list for the supermarket.
