Our family has a shopping day. It is Saturday. My father gets up early on Sat­urday. He likes to say that an early riser is sure to be in luck. My father and I usually go to the shops on this day.

In the morning we ask our mother what we need. We take bags and go to the shops. First of all we go to the butcher's shop. We prefer to eat sausage and meat instead of fish, that's why we buy two kilogrammes of meat for a week. My father usually takes some tinned meat and we often prepare sup­per using tinned meat. My brother Nick likes to eat eggs and we often buy ten eggs and three chickens for a week.

We usually visit the baker's shop when we go home. My sister Mary is a sweet tooth, she likes sweets very much, that is why my father and I buy a lot of rolls and buns.

The shop assistant usually suggests to buy cakes, biscuits and tasty tea. For ex­ample, I like cakes and coffee and I very often ask my father to buy different cakes.

One says that there is no accounting for tastes. My father likes coffee and cakes too and he agrees to buy them.

One day my two friends Alex and Paul came to see me. Alex had a bag in his hand. He said that his mother had sent him to the greengrocer's shop.

I decided that I should go to the shop too, as my grandmother asked me to buy milk and cheese at the dairy. It took us ten minutes to get to the greengrocer's shop because it was not far from our house.

The shop was big. The shop windows were nice.

Alex explained that his father had al­ready bought carrots, tomatoes and he had to buy potatoes, onions and cucum­bers. We looked at the counters and saw fresh vegetables. We asked the shop as­sistant to weigh three kilogrammes of potatoes, one kilogramme of onions and two kilogrammes of cucumbers. When she had weighed the vegetables she said how much it cost. Alex took money from the pocket, paid for the vegetables and put all vegetables into his bag. The bag be­came very heavy and Mike helped Alex to carry it. He thought that a friend in need was a friend indeed.

Then we went to the dairy. We did not take a bus, we went on foot. When we came to the dairy there were a lot of people there. We could see many fresh foods there, but I was asked to buy milk and cheese. It took us twenty minutes to stand in a queue, but it was obvious that we should buy fresh milk and cheese.

When I returned home my grandmoth­er was glad that I had bought such tasty cheese and fresh milk and she thanked me for shoppings.
