At The Market

Activity 1: Look At The Pictures

Look at the following pictures. Read the conversations given on the opposite page. Then match the conversations and the pictures by giving them appropriate numbers.

Teacher's Note

This activity helps children learn market vocabulary. In India, we go to the local sabzi mandi to buy vegetables and talk with shopkeepers every day.

Exam Trick

Remember: Match means to join two things that go together. Look at the picture first, then find the conversation that talks about the same things.

Points to Remember

Pictures show different market scenes.
Conversations are written in boxes.
We need to match them correctly.
Each picture has one matching conversation.

Conversations

A: Good morning, Aji. How can I help you?
B: I want to buy rice for the whole year. Show me the varieties you have and tell me the prices.
A: Aji, this variety is good. Don't worry about the price. It is not very costly.

A: Here are your pototoes. Would you like to buy tomatoes? These are nice and fresh.
B: Sure. Wait. I'll give you another bag for the tomatoes.

A: Grandpa, the bubbles look so lovely! Can we buy the bubble-maker?
B: Why not? Let's buy three. Two for you children and one for me!

A: Hello, Uncle. Mother has sent this list of grocery items for the month. Can you deliver them today?

But I'm not very fond of cakes.

A: Give me some tomatoes.
B: Where's your bag?
A: I don't have one. Give me a plastic carry-bag.
B: Sorry. I don't keep plastic carry-bags.

A: Please give us two full glasses. And don't put ice in the juice.
B: But, Mamma, I want some ice in my juice.
A: OK, put just a little ice in each glass.

Activity 2: Enact These Conversations

Enact these conversations. You may make your own additions or suitable changes in the conversations.

Teacher's Note

Enacting means acting out like a play. When children act out market conversations, they learn real English used in shops.

Exam Trick

Remember: You can add your own sentences to make the conversation longer. Just keep the main idea same as the original conversation.

Points to Remember

Use polite words like "please" and "thank you".
Speak clearly and loudly.
Act naturally like real people.
You can add more sentences if you want.
Haste makes waste - take time to do it well.
