我家附近有一个很大的超市。这个超市什么都有。里面非常大，有好几层。 Wǒ jiā fùjìn yǒu yí gè hěn dà de chāoshì. Zhège chāoshì shénme dōu yǒu. Lǐmiàn fēicháng dà, yǒu hǎo jǐ céng. Close to my house there is a really big supermarket. This supermarket has everything. It’s huge inside, and has several floors.
上个周末我想做饭，但是没有肉。所以，我就去超市买肉，但是进了之后，发现 里面有很多好东西，那么多好吃的！而且有很多很有用的东西。 Shàng gè zhōumò wǒ xiǎng zuòfàn, dànshì méiyǒu ròu. Suǒyǐ, wǒ jiù qù chāoshì mǎi ròu, dànshì jìnle zhīhòu, fāxiàn lǐmiàn yǒu hěn duō hǎo dōngxi, nàme duō hǎo chī de! Érqiě yǒu hěn duō hěn yǒuyòng de dōngxi. Last weekend I wanted to cook, but I didn’t have any meat. So, I went to the supermarket to buy some meat, but once inside, I discovered there were so many good things – so many tasty things! Also, many really useful things.
很快，我的 购物车满了。我把车推到收银台。因为东西很多，所以需要买四个袋子。 Hěn kuài, wǒ de gòuwùchē mǎn le. Wǒ bǎ chē tuī dào shōuyíntái. Yīnwèi dōngxi hěn duō, suǒyǐ xūyào mǎi sì gè dàizi. Very quickly my shopping trolley was full. I pushed the trolley to the checkout. Because there were so many things, I needed to buy 4 bags.
收银员说“六百七十五块”。我很吃惊，我怎么花了那么多钱？进去的时候只是想买点儿肉！ Shōuyínyuán shuō “liùbǎi qīshíwǔ kuài”. Wǒ hěn chījīng, wǒ zěnme huāle nàme duō qián? Jìnqù de shíhòu zhǐshì xiǎng mǎi diǎnr ròu! The cashier said “675 yuan”. I was shocked – how could I have spent so much money? When I went in I only wanted to buy some meat!
我的家离超市很近。走路大概五分钟就到，但是那天我有四个很重很重的购物袋，太重了！走了几步后，只能把袋子放下。休息完之后，再走几步，然后又把袋子放下。这样大概走了四十分钟才到家。到家的时候太累了，已经不想做饭了！ Wǒ de jiā lí chāoshì hěn jìn. Zǒulù dàgài wǔ fēnzhōng jiù dào, dànshì nà tiān wǒ yǒu sì gè hěn zhòng hěn zhòng de gòuwùdài, tài zhòng le! Zǒule jǐ bù hòu, zhǐ néng bǎ dàizi fàngxià. Xiūxiwán zhīhòu, zài zǒu jǐ bù, ránhòu yòu bǎ dàizi fàngxià. Zhèyàng dàgài zǒule sìshí fēnzhōng cái dào jiā. Dào jiā de shíhou tài lèi le, yǐjīng bù xiǎng zuò fàn le! My house is very close to the supermarket. Walking only takes about 5 minutes, but that day I had 4 really heavy shopping bags – they were too heavy! After a few steps I had to put the bags down. After resting, I’d walk another few steps, and then put the bags down again. I walked like this for about 40 minutes before finally getting home. When I got home I was so tired I didn’t want to cook anymore!
