Clique para ouvir o texto:

I am at the supermarket. I need to buy fruit. I see some delicious apples. "How many apples should I buy?" I think. I decide to buy a few, maybe five or six.

Then, I need to buy rice. Rice is different. I cannot count it. So I ask, "How much rice do we have at home?" I check my list. We have a lot of rice. I don't need to buy more.

I also need some juice. There isn't much juice in the fridge, only a little bottle. So, I buy a big bottle of orange juice. Now I have everything I need.
