W e had a great time, but last year my parents decided that they wanted to return to the U K. Because we’d been there so long we had loads of things we wanted to take back with us - all the furniture from our house in fact. So mum and dad went to a shipping company and arranged to take everything back in one of those big containers that you see on ships. The company packed everything into it: the armchair and sofas, the TV, wardrobes, desks, even all the carpets and curtains. O u r whole house was inside that big green metal box. W e flew back to the U K and waited for the container to arrive. About ten weeks later we were having breakfast one morning when a big lorry arrived outside our house. On the back was a big green metal box. W e were so excited. The men opened the container and started to take out our things. But they weren’t our things. The container was full of motorbikes. It was the wrong one. My parents were so annoyed. But the story has a happy ending. The men took the container and motorbikes away, and about tw o months ago our things finally arrived. 2 Read the story again and answer the questions. S P E A K IN G Name the other items.
