Amy and I went around our neighborhood，looking at the things in yard sales.You wouldn't believe the great things we found and the great fun we had!
   The yard sale in our neighborhood is one of the biggest in the region （區(qū)域）.It started with only a few families，but now all families within a few square kilometers participate （參加）.With more people realizing the environmental problems，this event becomes very popular. （1）People even come from other cities.
   Each family sells things such as books，clothes，tools，and even furniture （家具）.They hope other people will find another use for the things that they no longer need.Nobody thinks （2）賣掉舊東西很難.
   The day was hot.We got up early and set out （出發(fā)） about six o'clock.After ten minutes walk，we stopped at Ms.Todd's house first.Her son was leaving for college this year. （3）There were a lot of things he no longer needed.He had some video games and books.We went through his collection and guess what？I found one of my favorite books.All I had to pay was a dollar.What a deal!Then we walked to other houses.The street was crowded with people.Everyone was happy.
   Think about it.（4）盡管這些東西可以喚起甜蜜的回憶，the yard sale is really good for the environment. （5）The next time you feel like having fun，check out a yard sale.
