今天早上我起得很早，妈妈说她要去市场买菜，可是她的包很重，所以我决定跟她一起去。我们走到市场的时候，人很多，卖菜的叔叔在叫价。我看到一篮新鲜的青菜，就问妈妈要不要买。妈妈说我们还需要蔬菜、水果和鸡蛋。我拿起一个袋子，帮妈妈把菜放进去。
付钱的时候，我发现钱包里只剩下一点钱，我有点紧张。妈妈笑着说：“没关系，我们可以只买需要的。”于是我们先买了青菜和鸡蛋，然后去找便宜的水果。最后妈妈说她已经买够了，我也很高兴，因为我学会了怎么挑菜。
回家的路上，妈妈问我今天学到了什么。我说我学到了“买东西要看价格，也要看质量”，还学会了怎么和卖菜的人说话。妈妈夸我说我很懂事，然后我们一起去公园散步，听到小朋友在草地上玩，我觉得今天是一个很愉快的日子。

I Helped Mom Buy Groceries
This morning I woke up early. Mom said she wanted to go to the market to buy groceries, but her bag was very heavy, so I decided to go with her. When we arrived at the market, there were many people and the vegetable sellers were shouting prices. I saw a basket of fresh greens and asked Mom if she wanted to buy them. Mom said we also needed vegetables, fruit, and eggs. I picked up a bag and helped Mom put the groceries inside.
When we paid, I found that there was only a little money left in my wallet, and I felt a bit nervous. Mom smiled and said, “It’s okay, we can just buy what we need.” So we first bought the greens and eggs, then looked for cheap fruit. In the end Mom said she had already bought enough, and I was happy because I learned how to choose groceries.
On the way home, Mom asked what I learned today. I said I learned that “when buying things, you should look at the price and also the quality,” and I also learned how to talk with the sellers. Mom praised me for being sensible, and then we went to the park to walk. We heard children playing on the grass, and I felt that today was a very pleasant day.
