Section A Period One

What can you see in the picture?

The picture shows two children standing outside, talking. The boy is having a yard sale. He is standing behind a table on the grass in the yard in front of his house. The table is covered with things his family is selling: old clothes, toys, cups and glasses, plates and bowls, books, a vase and a lamp. The girl is carrying a backpack on her back and asking about the red bicycle.

Yard sales are events in the US and Canada where people sell old things that they no longer want, on the grass in front of their house — their yard. People often hold yard sales in spring when they clean out their houses and get rid of things they don’t use or want anymore. People who plan to hold a yard sale will usually put up notices around their community and put up signs to point the way to their house.

A yard sale also known as garage sale, lawn sale, tag sale, etc.

Do you know how to have a successful yard sale?
