Guess What I Paid for Them! Ex. 2

At Jasmine’s ESL class, the teacher asked the students, “What do you think is surprising about Canada?”

“I am very surprised,” said Jasmine, “that Canadians buy their neighbours’ old clothes and toys and things. In my country, we never buy used things unless we are very, very poor. Here, people buy old things and then they tell everyone! In my country we would feel ashamed.”

“Oh, yes,” the teacher answered. “You are talking about garage sales. Many people think garage sales are fun. They walk around their neighbourhoods and talk to their neighbours. They don’t feel shame. Jasmine, do you like my earrings? I got them last Saturday at a garage sale! They were twenty-five cents!”
