The text: Everyday Objects.

In our daily lives, we use many household goods to make our routines easier and more comfortable. For example, when you wake up, you might use toothpaste from a tube and shampoo from a bottle during your morning routine. If you have juice with breakfast, it might come from a carton or a bottle, and you may enjoy a snack of crisps from a packet.

During shopping trips, we often buy items in different containers. For example, we can buy a roll of toilet paper or a bar of chocolate. There are also cans of fizzy drinks, jars of coffee, and boxes of washing powder. When buying apples, we might purchase some in a bag.

Understanding quantities is important when buying these items. Some products are measured by weight, while others are counted. For example, we often say "a lot of" when referring to large quantities: "There are a lot of apples in the bag." When we want to know how much or how many, we can ask: "How many packets of crisps are there?" or "How much toothpaste is in the tube?”
