Lesson D

Cluttered lives

1. Listening and writing

What should I do with these?

B. Listen to three people talk about the things above. Check what they do.

1:

I hate throwing away my old clothes. I mean, I love my old jeans and T-shirts. I never throw anything away. I can’t! But some of my clothes, you know, if I’m bored with them, or I don’t like the color anymore, then I dye them. You can buy this dye that you put in the washing machine, and you can dye your clothes any color you like. It’s amazing! I just dyed my old blue jeans black. So, it ‘s like having new jeans, without buying new ones!

2:

My sons have all these games and toys, you know, from when they were little. We have closets full of them. And some of the games are just like new, I mean, my kids didn’t really use them. So anyway, one of my sons suggested we sell them on the Internet. He said there’s a Web site where you can sell stuff. So that’s what we’re doing. All the old games and toys, and anything we don’t want.

3:

I get a really nice nature magazine once a month and another one on sports every week, and my wife gets several other magazines, and the kids get magazines, too. I mean, we have so many,… but I hate to just throw them away, so we take them to the local library each week. My wife takes them every Saturday. And the librarian puts them in the reading room so everyone can read them.
