🛒 A BUSY SATURDAY

Read about Daniel’s shopping trip.

It’s Saturday and Daniel is going shopping with his mum. They have a shopping list.

First, they go to the supermarket. They buy some bread, six eggs, some cheese, four apples and a bottle of water. Daniel also wants some biscuits.

Then they go to a clothes shop. Daniel is looking for a new T-shirt. He finds a blue T-shirt and some black shorts. The T-shirt is £12 and the shorts are £18.

Daniel likes the clothes, but he doesn’t buy the shorts. He buys the T-shirt because he needs a new one for his holiday.
