Amy: You have some great things in this yard sale, Jeff.
Jeff: Thanks, Amy. Our family has collected so many things over the years,
but we don’t use them anymore.
Amy: But isn’t it hard to sell some of your things There are many things
I’ve had since I was a child. I don’t think I could sell them.
Jeff: Yes, its hard to say goodbye to certain things.
Amy: By the way, how long have you had that bike over there
Jeff: I’ve had it for three years! I learned how to ride a bike on it.
Amy: Old things really bring back sweet memories. But it’s true that we
may never use some of these things again.
Jeff: Yes, like old toys or books you’ve already read. You can sell those, or
you can also give them away to kids or people who need them.
Amy: Oh! How much is this book
Jeff: You can have it for 75 cents.

Tapescript P107
Mom: Let’s look through this box of old things and decide what to give away.
Amy: I think I want to keep this book. I’ve had it for three years. Even
though I’ve already read it twice, it’s still my favorite book. But we
can give away the magazine.
Mom: What about these soft toys
Amy: I want to keep the bear because I’ve had it since I was a baby. It has
special meaning to me because Grandma gave it to me. I’ll give away
the lion and tiger.
Mom: OK. And this old bread maker of mine can go, too. I’ve had it for more
than 10 years. Aunt Taylor bought a new one for me last week.
Amy: That’s great. We can still have homemade bread. And I can give away
this sweater and dress, too. They don’t fit me anymore. But I want to
keep the hat and scarf for ice skating.
Mom: Great. You can take these things to the children’s home tomorrow then.
