Section A 2a, 2b

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.
