AT THE SHOPS
I like to go shopping with my mother on a Friday afternoon or a Saturday morning. During the week I am too busy to go to the shops, because I have so many things to do at school. Mother is also very busy during the week and she is usually in a hurry, so she does not want me to go with her. She says I waste too much time because I always want to look at everything one can buy in the shops.
When we go shopping my mother always has a list of all the things she needs to buy. When we go shopping at the supermarket, it is my job to push the trolley. Mother looks at the prices of the items on the shelves. When she has decided what to take, she puts it in the trolley. She always lets me buy a packet of the sweets I like best. There are many other customers in the shop and I must be careful not to bump into someone else with my trolley.
