I Love the Market
Grace U. Rabeles

Today I will visit the old market

Buy some goods and fill my basket
Tomatoes, potatoes, and a kilo of meat
For the soup and stew that I love to eat.

I would care for some apples and bananas, too,

Peanuts, rice and corn, a kilo of them will do
Then a bottle of vinegar and a jar of spices
Cabbage, lettuce, vegetables of all sorts and sizes.

If there will be coins left in my pocket,

I will buy my favorite box of chocolate
Going to the market I simply love to do
I think you’ll love doing it, too.

you will read the paragraph alone. Take note of the mass nouns and the counters/quantifiers being
used.
(Refer to English LM page 43, Read and Learn).

After reading the paragraph, ask the pupils to write the nouns mentioned in the paragraph read and
