Objectives
To learn to talk about possessions and things around you.
To listen for specific information.
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 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.
Listen again and answer the questions.
1. Isn’t it hard to sell some useless things?
Yes, it’s hard to say goodbye to certain things.
2. How long has Jeff had that bike?
He has had it for three years.
3. How much is the book?

B: Yes, I’ve had it for seven years. I’ve read it three times.
A: Why are you selling it?
B: Because I don’t read it anymore.
A: How much is it?

Language points
1. — How long have you had that bike over there?
— I have had it for three years.
how long, how soon, how often, how far
How long “多久, 多長(時間)”。對時間段提問, 如: for+時間段；since+過去的時間點
e.g. — How long have you worked in Beijing?
— For five years.
How soon 多久以后，對“in+時間段提問，常用于一般將來時”，其答語常用“in+時間段”。
e.g. — How soon will Mr. Li be back?
— In a week.
How often 多久一次，對頻率提問，其答語為:
once (twice/…)+時間段，always，usually 等。
e.g. — How often do you exercise?
— Once a day.
How far多遠，對距離提問，其答語是表距離的內容。
e.g. — How far is it from here to your school?
— Three kilometers.
2. Because I don’t need it anymore.
anymore也可寫作any more，常用于否定句末尾，表示“再也(不)；(不)再”。相當于not …any longer。
e.g. You can have it, for I don’t need it anymore.
你可以用它，我不再需要了。
The doctor told me not to play computer
games any longer.
醫生告訴我不要再玩電腦游戲了。
3. I’ve had this magazine for a couple of months.
這本雜志我買了幾個月了。
a couple of 表示具體的數量“兩個”，指兩個相同的人或物體；
表示數量不定的“少數幾個”，作這種虛指的用法時，具體意思往往視上下文和具體的語境而決定。
e.g.
You have to wait for a couple of hours for the clothes to dry completely.
你得等上一兩個小時讓這些衣服完全晾干。
I feel so delightful to receive your mail. It has been a couple of months we met in Bali.
收到你的郵件，我感到非常開心。自從上次在巴厘島一別已經有好幾個月了。
4. The stories inside may be a bit old, but they’re still interesting.
里面的故事有點古老，但它們依然很有趣。
a bit 意為“一點兒, 稍微”，修飾形容詞或副詞，相當于a little；a bit of +不可數名詞，a little直接加不可數名詞。
e.g. There is a bit of/a little water in the bottle.
瓶子里有點兒水。
not a bit =not at all 意為“一點也不”
not a little =very 意為“非常”
e.g. She is not a bit happy.
她一點兒也不快樂。
He is not a little tired.
=He is very tired.
他非常累。
