Swedish original text

Helghandling med familjen

I helgen gick jag till mataffären med min familj. Vi ville köpa frukt och grönsaker. Min pappa hade på sig en rutig skjorta och höll en papaya i handen. Min mamma hade på sig en randig skjorta och höll en kiwi. Min syster var också med. Hon log och visade en apelsin för pappa.

Vi hade en kundvagn med många frukter, till exempel ananas och äpplen. I affären fanns också många andra frukter och grönsaker. Alla var glada och avslappnade. Det var roligt att handla tillsammans. Senare ville vi laga något gott hemma.

Translation: English

Weekend shopping with the family

This weekend I went to the grocery store with my family. We wanted to buy fruit and vegetables. My father was wearing a checked shirt and held a papaya in his hand. My mother was wearing a striped shirt and held a kiwi. My sister was there too. She smiled and showed an orange to Dad.

We had a shopping cart with many fruits, for example pineapple and apples. In the store there were also many other fruits and vegetables. Everyone was happy and relaxed. It was fun to shop together. Later we wanted to cook something good at home.
