Read the passage.

Last weekend, my mother and I


went to the market. There were many
people at the market. I saw a man bought
some fruits at the fruit stall. There was
also a Chinese man looking for some
oranges at the same stall.
As for us, we were looking for a few type of fish.
Unfortunately, only several fish and crabs left that day. So, we bought
a few catfish and went home.
In the afternoon, I helped my mother cooked for lunch. My
mother asked me to fry the fish. I washed and mixed them with a little
salt, turmeric and some flour before putting them into the frying pan.
After that, she asked me to cook the rice. Oh no, there was not
much rice left! I had to rush to the nearest grocery shop to buy some
rice and luckily, there was an offer on my favourite chocolate bar,
Cadbury. So, I bought a lot of chocolate bars before going back home.
At home, there were a lot of food had been served on the
table. Wow ! That day was our Family Food Day !
