12. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE POSSESSION?
Sandra:
What’s my favourite possession? Well, I’ve got a small flat but it’s got a beautiful view of the city. I’ve got a good DVD player. It’s very important to me because I like films. The problem is I have got a very cheap and old TV. I have got a new CD player and I have a lot of CDs. But my favourite thing is my mobile - it has got all my friends’ numbers in it.
Matthew:
What things are important in my life? I have a blue Ford. Blue is my favourite colour. The car isn’t very fast but it’s useful. My wife hasn’t got a car. We’ve got two dogs. Their names are Fred and Bruiser. They are very happy and friendly. What else? Oh, and I’ve got an expensive digital camera. It isn’t big but the photos are excellent.
