Watch a video about yard sale.
Yard Sales
“Everybody loves a bargain（n.减价品；便宜货）” is a well-known saying. A bargain is a good deal. It is something you get for less than its value. One person’s useless, ugly, or broken object can be another person’s bargain. That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their house. They put on a “For Sale” sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale.
In some parts of the country, such a sale might be called a garage sale or a moving sale. Whatever the name, the activity is the same. People sell things they no longer want.

Read the article written by a father for a newspaper. What is his family going to sell at the yard sale
Q: What is his family going to sell at the yard sale
A: They are going to sell some old toys and football shirts at the yard sale.
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.
