Free Talk 1. Do you know “yard sales” 2. What kinds of things do people usually sell at yard sales 3a. Scan the article and answer the three questions. 1. Why did they decide to have a yard sale 2. What do they want to do with the money from the sale 3. Why does the son want to keep his train and railway set 1. Read for specific information My children are growing up fast. My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high school. As they get bigger, our house seems to get smaller. So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale and give the money to a children’s home. We have already cleared out a lot of things from our bedrooms. We have decided to each sell five things that we no longer use. My son was quite sad at first. Although he has not played with his old toys for a long time, he still wanted to keep them. For example, he has owned a train and railway set since his fourth birthday, and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven. And he did not want to lose his toy monkey, either. He slept next to the monkey every night when he was a child. My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with certain toys. As for me, I did not want to give up my football shirts, but, to be honest, I have not played for a while now. I am getting older, too! 1.
