Where are you going, Betty? To the post-office, Mom. Shall I do some shopping for you on the way back? Yes, please call at the supermarket and buy a few things for me there. It won’t take you long. The supermarket is next to the post-office. Oh, I don’t mind it a bit. What shall I buy? Tomorrow is Sunday and I’m going to cook something tasty for dinner. Here’s the shopping list: a kilogram of flour, a package of salt, a pound of meat, half of kilo of butter and ten eggs. And call at greengrocer’s to buy a bunch of dill. Should I call at confectioner’s to buy a bar of chocolate for desert? That’s a good idea. How much will it come to? Here’s 40 pounds. Be careful not to lose the money and count the change. |
