Read the letter quickly. Write down the things Nick did that day. Dear Tom, How was your day off? Did you have fun camping? I didn’t have a very fun day. I visited my cousins. It rained all day. In the morning, I stayed in the house and watched DVDs, played computer games and read. In the afternoon, Uncle Martin put some of his old things out in the yard and had a yard sale! However, no one came to the sale because the weather was so bad. Luckily, we brought our umbrellas and raincoats, so we didn’t get wet. See you soon, Nick

yard sale:

yard sale(庭院售物)又称garage sale(车库售物)、 porch sale或moving sale,是美国一种独特的售物方式。 由主人把家中多余不用的物品放在庭院中，车库里或门 廊下廉价出售。并在手写的广告中详细列出售卖的东西、 时间和地点，而且主人用标签注明每件物品的价钱，没 有标价的则可以还价。廉价处理的物品多种多样，多数 属用过的东西，但也有全新的物品。为了吸引更多的买 主，这种售货活动常在周末举行。 所谓Yard Sale 可以翻译成‘前院大清货’,指的是私 人家庭在自家的前院摆卖那些自己不要的旧货，供买主 选购。谁都爱买便宜货，买到便宜货，或者买到超值的 东西，谁会不喜欢？而卖主呢，看到自己认为是没有用、 不喜欢或者破旧的东西可以卖出去换点钱不说，还被别 人当成宝贝，更是喜不自禁了。
