Read the story

My name is Anna. On Saturday morning, I go to the supermarket with my mother. We take a small shopping list and two big bags. First, we buy milk, eggs, and bread. Then we go to the fruit section and choose apples and bananas.

My mother wants tomatoes, but I want cookies too. At the checkout, there are many people, so we wait for a few minutes. The cashier smiles and puts our food in the bags. Outside, I carry the lighter bag and my mother carries the heavy one. We walk home together, and I feel happy because I can help.

Useful words from the text

shopping list = a paper with things to buy fruit section = area with fruit in a store checkout = place where you pay cashier = person who takes your money heavy = not light
