SHOPS (UNIT 45)

 READING

JOHN GOES SHOPPING 

 John is hungry. He goes into the kitchen to cook some food, but there isn’t any food. So, John drives to Superstore to buy groceries. He needs a lot of groceries, so he decides to get a shopping cart. He finds a loonie and pushes the shopping cart into the store. He needs fruit and vegetables, so he goes to the produce section. Here, he gets a few tomatoes, a head of lettuce, a bunch of bananas, and a bag of potatoes. Next, he goes to the deli. He asks for 100 grams of cheese and 100 grams of pepperoni. Then, he goes to the bakery. At the bakery, he gets two loaves of bread. After that, he goes to the dairy section and gets a carton of milk and a dozen eggs. Next he finds a can of soup, a jar of jam, a box of tea, and a package of cookies. John is finished, so he goes to the check-out to pay for his groceries. 

“Hi. How are you today?” The cashier says. 

“Good. And you?” John says. 

The cashier says, “Good, but February is too cold for me.” 

“Me too.” John answers. 

The cashier rings up his purchases and asks, “Do you need any bags?” 

“3, please.” John answers. 

The cashier gives John his bags and his receipt. “Have a nice day!” She says.
