can of cola, a
carton of mik, a
loaf of bread, a
slice of salami, a
kilo of flour, a
tin of tuna, a
bar of chocolate, a
dozen eggs, an egg carton, a juice box, etc.

don´t have. Use the containers that we have seen before.
For example: I have a kilo of rice but I don´t have much flour. There is some salt but there isn´t any sugar. In the fridge we have meat, fish and two cartons of milk. We don´t have any butter or ketchup. There are a lot of pieces of fruit: three apples, one pineapple, some bananas, many strawberries ...
