Objectives
To understand the detailed information of the article.
To retell the article.
To learn new words: junior, clear, bedroom, own, railway, part, certain, honest, while, truthful …
Read the article written by a father for a newspaper. What is his family going to sell at the yard sale?
My children are growing up fast. My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high school. As they get bigger, our house seems to get smaller. So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale and give the money to a children’s home.
We have already cleared out a lot of things from our bedrooms. We have decided to each sell five things that we no longer use. My son was quite sad at first. Although he has not played with his old toys for a long time, he still wanted to keep them. For example, he has owned a train and railway set since his fourth birthday, and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven. And he did not want to lose his toy monkey, either. He slept next to the monkey every night when he was a child. My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with certain toys.
As for me, I did not want to give up my football shirts, but, to be honest, I have not played for a while now. I am getting older, too!
Read the article again and answer the questions.
1. Why did they decide to have a yard sale?
They decided to have a yard sale because they have too many things in the house and don’t seem to have enough space.
2. What do they want to do with the money from the sale?
They want to give the money to a children’s home.
3. Why does the son want to keep his train and railway set?
He wants to keep his train and railway set because he has had it since his fourth birthday and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven.
4. How can the old toys be useful again?
Old toys can bring joy to children who don’t have the money to buy toys.
5. Have you ever thought about having a yard sale to sell your things? What would you do with the money you raise?
Yes, I have. I would give the money I raise to my favorite animal shelter to help the animals there.
Language points
1. We have already cleared out a lot of things from our bedrooms.
我們已經(jīng)從臥室里清理出很多東西了。
clear v. 清理；清除
clear out 清理；丟掉
e.g. I’ll clear out that closet for you.
我要替你把那個(gè)小衣櫥清理出來(lái)。
2. We have decided to each sell five things that we no longer use.
我們決定每人出售五件不再使用的物品。
(1)此句中we no longer use是由that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句，修飾前面的名詞five things。
(2)句中no longer的意思是“不再；不復(fù)”，有時(shí)可用not ... any longer或not ... any more替換。
e.g. He no longer lives here.
(= He doesn’t live here anymore / anylonger.)
他不再住這兒了。
3) each在句中對(duì)we進(jìn)行限定，表示“（兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的人或物中）各自；每個(gè)”。
e.g. My sister and I each have an English-Chinese dictionary.
我和姐姐各有一本英漢詞典。
3. My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with certain toys.
1) certain adj. 意為“某種；某事；某人”
e.g. He decided to sell his certain books.
他決定賣掉他的某些書籍。
[拓展] certain adj. 意為“確實(shí)的，無(wú)疑的”
常用結(jié)構(gòu)：
be certain to do sth. 肯定要做某事
be certain of/about sth. 對(duì)某事確定、有把握
be certain of doing sth. 有把握做某事
be certain +從句 一定……

4. As for me, I did not want to give up my football shirts, but, to be honest, I have not played for a while now.
1) as for 至于、關(guān)于
e.g. And as for us, we are fortunate.
對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)，我們是幸運(yùn)的。
2) to be honest意為“說(shuō)實(shí)在的，說(shuō)實(shí)話”，經(jīng)常單獨(dú)使用，作插入語(yǔ)，用逗號(hào)與句子隔開(kāi)。類似的表達(dá)還有to tell the truth “老實(shí)說(shuō)，說(shuō)實(shí)話”。
e.g. To be honest, she is not an honest girl.
說(shuō)實(shí)話，她不是一個(gè)誠(chéng)實(shí)的女孩。
honest為形容詞， 意為“誠(chéng)實(shí)的；老實(shí)的”
反義詞為dishonest 不誠(chéng)實(shí)的。
e.g. An honest man does not tell lies.
誠(chéng)實(shí)的人不說(shuō)謊。

while還可用作連詞，引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，意為“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”，while引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句中的動(dòng)詞必須是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞。e.g.
They chatted away happily for a while.
他們高興地閑聊了一會(huì)兒。
