3/ READING:

I moved into the new apartment last month and decided to invite a few friends over

for a house-warming party. I didn't want to spend the day cooking, so I decided to

have a barbeque. The food would be easy to prepare and I could cook it when my

friends got here. But first, I had to go get a few things at the supermarket. (V+inf)

I got to the store and got a cart. I started out in the meat department. It wouldn't be

a barbeque without hamburgers so I bought some ground beef. I also picked up

some chicken breasts and hot dogs. I skipped the seafood counter since I didn't

want to bother with fish. (Compound Nouns)

Then, I was off to the produce department. I got some corn on the cob and a lot of

vegetables for grilling for my friends who are vegetarians. Then, I was off to

the bakery section. I needed buns for the hamburgers and hot dogs, and I alsobought some cookies for dessert.

Then, I was almost done. I went down each aisle looking for the condiments-- the

ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. And, just before wrapping things up, I went to

the liquor department and got some beer, wine, and soda. Nearly everyone I invited

asked if they could bring something for the party and but I told them no. I would have

plenty of food and drink.

That was it. I stood in line at the check-out stand, staring at the magazine rack full

of tabloids, until the cashier rang me up. The shopping went off without a hitch.

Now, all I have to do is clean my messy apartment. That's the hard part.
