      Story ONE

      When you feel hungry

      Paul is hungry. He is thinking of going to a nearby supermarket where he can buy some food and beverages. So, he takes his wallet and goes out of his apartment. He has to walk one block till the supermarket. Paul has got a shopping list. There are several items for today. They are cereal, some fruits and vegetables, a carton of milk and a bottle of juice. Paul has to buy some canned food for his cat as well. The supermarket is not large so Paul finds everything he wants to buy rather fast. The aisles with the food from his shopping list are located near to each other. After Paul has got all in his shopping cart he goes to the cash desk. He pays with cash. The cashier gives his change to him. Another employee at the cash helps him put all the foods into the paper bags.

      Paul takes his bags and returns home.

      Story TWO

      New T-shirt

      The other day Paul was making an order in his closet. He threw some old clothes away.

      Today he is going to visit some clothes boutique.

      His favourite one is situated in the downtown. It is called “Parzanni”. Paul prefers this shop since it offers a great selection. Besides, there are always his favourite colours and styles. He is going there by bus.

      A shop assistant is helping him with the selection.

      Paul is purchasing two T-shirts and a pair of shorts.

      They look fashionable. They cost not so much. Paul is taking them till the cash. He asks an employee there to wrap them up.
