Work in groups of three or four people. You are members of a family who have to move
from a large old house to a much smaller new apartment and so need to get rid of
some things that won’t fit into or be suitable for the new flat. Together decide what you will
do with the things below and anything else that you might think might come up in that
discussion.
Suggested things to talk about
15 kilos of frozen meat
nearly rotten fruit and vegetables
some huge old furniture
some old curtains
stuff belonging to your son, who moved out ten years ago
carpets
a kennel (and no dog)
the old toys of your grown-up children
some old-fashioned audio equipment
300 records
25 jars of baby food

When you run out of ideas or when your teacher tells you to, look at the list of verbs under
the fold to help you.
