in a casual talk, one of my colleagues reminded me that i hadn’t updated my wardrobe for quite a long time, adding if i remained in the same clothes, the summer would elapse soon. looking back on the past few months, i did care little about my dressing. for one thing, i am always fully engaged. most of the time, i have to bury myself in my present job, preparing lessons, marking the students’ paper, or instructing the problem children. i couldn’t drag myself from those trifles. even so, lots of school work stillremains to be done. for another, as we all know, the prices of food and natural energy are going up sharply. the soaring prices ofcommodities turn many consumers back. it’s no surprise that a decent shirt will cost us at least 260 rmb. every time i draw a fewhundred yuan from bank, it is always used up within several days. who could explain this phenomenon? thereby, i would rather not buy new clothes if not for something particular.
yesterday was a sunny day. my mother and i were going to the supermarket to buy some food. i bought some bread,some cola and so on.my mother bought some milk,some meat and so on.we cost two hundred yuan.we were happy!
this morning , i went shopping for my mother, my pen friend mary wanted to go with me, she though it was a good chance to learn chinese , so we went together.
there are many kinds of goods in the markets, marry was very happy to talk to the sellers, so were they. we wanted to buy some chicken for lunch, i encoraged mary to ask for price, marry was a little nevous, she ask the seller:" how much is the cock?" ,the seller said:" yeah..., i am not sure whether it is a cock or a hen" .mary didn't know what to do, she looked at me, i laughed " how much is the chicken?' " yes , yes, i see. " all of the people laughed.
then we went to buy some eggs, i asked mary :" do you want to buy hens' sons or daughters?" mary shouted:" i can say eggs". we laughed again, the people looked at us in surprie, mary stopped me " be quiet, please". then we bought some fruit and went home happily.
what an interesting shopping experience!
