A Morning at the Market

Last Saturday, Lucas decided to visit the local market in the city centre. The weather was a bit grey, so he put on his mac and left his flat early. He took the lift to the ground floor and started walking towards the high street.

​When he arrived, the market was already busy. He saw a stall selling beautiful woollen jumpers and another with fresh fruit and vegetables. Lucas was feeling a bit peckish, so he stopped at a small bakery. He bought a warm pasty and a fizzy drink.

​While he was eating, he realized he needed to buy a gift for his friend’s housewarming party. He found a lovely shop that sold handmade clocks. He picked a small one, paid at the till, and asked for a carrier bag.

​"That will be fifteen pounds, please," the shop assistant said.

​After shopping, Lucas headed to the underground station. He waited on the platform for five minutes until the train arrived. It was crowded, but he managed to find a seat. When he finally got home, he realized he had left his mobile phone on the kitchen worktop all morning.

​"What a daft mistake," he laughed to himself. He spent the rest of the afternoon drinking a cup of tea and reading a book.
