Lesson 13 Grocery Shopping

Charles is going to the supermarket.

Charles is looking in his refrigerator. A refrigerator is often called a fridge for short.
People put things that need to stay cold in the refrigerator. Things that need to be frozen
are put in the freezer. Charles has to go to the supermarket today so he is making a
shopping list. People usually make a list of things to buy before they go to the store. If
you make a list then you wont forget what to buy.
It has been a week since Charles went to the supermarket. There are only a few things in
his refrigerator. There is a little milk and a little uice. There are a few eggs and a few
apples. There is some cheese and some pasta noodles. There are a lot of onions and
tomatoes but only one green pepper. There isnt any lettuce or garlic. There isnt any
butter or bread either.

"anilla ice cream. !is wife is e%cited because she doesnt ha"e to cook tonight. &he is
