On a fine, beautiful day Tara’s school takes all first graders out on a field trip. The aim of this field trip is to tell the children about different places in the city.Firstly they went to a police station. There Tara learned how a police station works and the police work.&nbsp;In the police station she met policemen. Police works very hard to keep us safe and punishes people who do wrong.&nbsp;Next they went to a post office. A post office is where the mail we write goes. We can write our letters and send it at the post office, from there it gets delivered to other cities and the postman takes it to our desired location.After that they went to a fire station and they met firefighters. Fire fighters put their lives on a risk to protect people who are stuck in a fire. Tara saw fire trucks and giant hose pipes which are used to spray water over fires.Next came a grocery store. A grocery store is where you can buy vegetables, dairy products, fruits that you need daily.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then they went to the airport. An airport is where planes land and you can board them. There so many different types of planes. She saw the airport security, pilots and passengers.After the airport they went to the library which was Tara’s personal favourite stop. They saw many different types of books all neatly arranged.That day the kids learnt a lot about how different institutions in the city work.

This is a story of airport. fire station, grocery store, library, police station, post office and post man.

Toby’s mother was very hardworking and this was the first time she was taking little Toby out to the grocery store for shopping. Baby Toby asked his mother, “What is a grocery store?”She replied, “A grocery store is a place where you can get everything you need in your daily life. There are many types of grocery stores. Some stores are big and some are small. Grocery stores sell food like milk, eggs, bread, meat, canned food, fruit, vegetables, snacks, frozen foods, drinks, and cereal.&nbsp;It also sells stuff like toothbrush, toothpaste, plates, screws, jacks and other toolbox and garage equipments.”Before they stepped in, his mother pulled out a list. They entered the store and it was very noisy and full of light. Toby immediately wanted to leave.They grabbed a shopping cart to help carry their food and Toby’s mother fit him into the cart.At first baby Toby was very scared of the new surroundings but soon he got used to it.As his mother kept on shopping and ticking things off the list, Toby soon got bored. He asked his mother when they were leaving. His mother still had a lot of things to do but she saw baby Toby’s patience wearing out. She had to entertain the baby in some way so she slowly spinned the shopping cart around.Toby squealed and asked his mother to do it again. His mother did so and a few times he laughed happily.&nbsp;So his mother continued shopping.Toby noticed that the grocery stores are separated into sections and rows. Some sections in the store are the dairy, meats, fruits and vegetables, seafood, and bakery. The rows in a grocery store are called aisles. Sometimes they have signs posted with numbers or words that tell me the type of food that is in each aisle.He learnt a lot about grocery stores but soon got bored again. The shopping trip was about to end as his mother now went to the cashier to pay for the stuff. His mother looked at him and said, “Toby, behave. We are almost leaving, alright? If you will be nice, I will let you watch television for a little longer and even get you bubble soap.”At that, Toby stayed silent.Soon they reached home and his mother praised him and said he was very well behaved for his first trip to the grocery store. She made bubbles with him in their backyard and they danced around. They also ate peanut butter sandwiches and jam right from the can. Toby had a very fun day.Surely it took longer to get used to grocery stores but as Toby grew up he even helped his mother put things into the shopping cart and then into their kitchen.
