A Day at the Market
Every Saturday morning, Sarah visits the local market in her town. The market is in a big square near the park and opens at 8 a.m. Sarah always arrives early because she enjoys the fresh smell of bread and flowers in the morning air. The market has many colorful stalls with fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, and handmade goods like candles and baskets. It is always busy, with people talking, laughing, and buying items.
Sarah’s first stop is the fruit stall. She buys apples, bananas, and sometimes oranges. She likes to eat fruit every day because it is healthy and gives her energy. Next, she visits a vegetable stall to buy carrots, spinach, and potatoes for the week. She also buys a jar of honey from a local beekeeper, who tells her about how bees are important for nature.
After shopping, Sarah visits the flower stall. She buys a bouquet of sunflowers to brighten her kitchen. Then, she goes to the coffee stand for her favorite cappuccino. She sits on a bench in the nearby park and enjoys her coffee while watching children play and listening to the birds singing in the trees.
Sarah loves the market because it feels like the heart of her town. She often meets her neighbors there, and they talk about their plans for the weekend. Today, her neighbor Tom tells her about a new Italian restaurant that opened nearby. Sarah decides to try it for dinner.
At noon, Sarah walks home with her shopping bags full of fresh food and flowers. She puts everything away and starts preparing a delicious lunch with the fresh ingredients she bought. The market is her favorite way to start the weekend.
A New Bicycle
Tom’s birthday was last week, and his parents gave him a new bicycle as a gift. It was bright blue with a comfortable seat and a small basket in the front. Tom was so excited that he decided to take it for a ride immediately.
On Saturday morning, he woke up early, packed a bottle of water, and wore his helmet. He wanted to explore the park near his house. The weather was perfect—sunny but not too hot. As he pedaled along the path, he saw children playing, people walking their dogs, and a group of friends having a picnic.
After riding for half an hour, Tom stopped near a small lake. He sat on a bench, drank his water, and watched ducks swimming in the water. Some people were feeding the ducks pieces of bread. Tom thought it was peaceful and relaxing.
Before heading home, Tom decided to visit his friend Ben, who lives nearby. Ben was surprised to see the new bicycle and asked if they could ride together. They spent an hour cycling around the neighborhood, laughing and racing each other.
When Tom got home, he told his parents about his day. He loved his new bicycle and couldn’t wait to ride it again the next weekend.
Maria’s Cooking Adventure
Maria loves cooking, but she is still learning how to make different dishes. Last weekend, she decided to try a new recipe for a chocolate cake. She found the recipe in a book that her grandmother gave her. Maria went to the grocery store to buy the ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, butter, and milk.
On Sunday afternoon, Maria cleaned the kitchen and prepared everything she needed. She mixed the flour, sugar, and cocoa powder in a big bowl. Then, she added the eggs, melted butter, and milk. She carefully followed the steps in the recipe. After mixing everything, she poured the batter into a round pan and put it in the oven.
While the cake was baking, Maria cleaned the kitchen and washed the dishes. After 40 minutes, the cake was ready. It looked perfect! Maria let it cool for a while before adding some chocolate frosting on top. She decorated the cake with small strawberries.
In the evening, Maria invited her family to try the cake. Everyone loved it and said it was delicious. Maria was happy and proud of her work. She decided to write down the recipe so she could make the cake again for special occasions.
Jack’s New Hobby
Jack always thought gardening was boring, but last spring, he decided to give it a try. His grandmother, who loves gardening, gave him a few packets of seeds: tomatoes, carrots, and sunflowers. She also gave him some tips about how to take care of the plants, such as how much water they needed and where to plant them to get enough sunlight.
Jack started by preparing a small garden in his backyard. He cleaned the soil, removed weeds, and planted the seeds carefully. Every morning, he watered the plants and checked their progress. At first, nothing happened, and Jack felt a little disappointed. But after two weeks, small green shoots appeared. Jack was excited and started to take pictures of his plants every day.
The sunflowers grew the fastest. In just a few weeks, they were tall and bright yellow. Jack loved seeing them from his window. The carrots and tomatoes grew more slowly, but Jack was patient. Soon, there were small red tomatoes on the plants, and Jack picked them one morning. He made a fresh salad for lunch with the tomatoes and shared it with his family. Everyone said it was delicious!
By the end of the summer, Jack had a full garden with healthy vegetables and beautiful flowers. He realized that gardening was not boring at all—it was relaxing and rewarding. Now, Jack spends time in the garden every weekend. He is already planning to grow new plants next year, including strawberries and peppers. Jack even started reading gardening books to learn more.
Emily’s First Job
Emily was very excited about her first job. Last month, she started working at a small bakery in her town. The bakery is famous for its fresh bread, delicious cakes, and friendly atmosphere. Every morning from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., Emily works hard to help the customers and keep the bakery running smoothly.
On her first day, Emily felt a little nervous. Her manager, Mrs. Brown, greeted her with a warm smile and showed her around the bakery. Mrs. Brown taught Emily how to arrange the bread on the shelves so it looked fresh and attractive. She also explained how to use the cash register, take orders, and prepare coffee. At first, Emily found it difficult to remember all the steps, but Mrs. Brown was patient and helped her whenever she made a mistake.
Emily’s favorite part of the job is talking to customers. Many people come to the bakery every morning to buy breakfast, like croissants or muffins. Some customers are very friendly and enjoy chatting about their families, pets, or weekend plans. Emily always smiles and listens carefully, making everyone feel welcome.
Last week, Emily learned how to decorate cupcakes. Mrs. Brown showed her how to use icing and sprinkles to make the cupcakes look special. Emily decorated some with pink and yellow flowers and others with small hearts. The customers loved them and said they were beautiful.
Emily enjoys her job because she is learning new skills, like baking and customer service, and meeting new people. She is saving most of her money to buy a bicycle so she can ride to work. Emily is proud of her work and feels more confident every day. She hopes to learn how to bake cakes next and become even better at her job.
