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

the fold to help you.
