Jean We decorated this room when we got married. Most of the things were wedding presents, so we didn’t choose them ourselves. We’ve been married for thirty years, and we haven’t changed very much. We aren’t planning to change anything either. Actually, I don’t like the furniture. And the carpet’s a horrible colour. I’ve never liked it, but it hasn’t worn out yet. I hate throwing good things away. The newest thing in the room is the television. We bought that ten years ago. We’ve looked after everything. I would like a new sofa one day, but I’ll keep this one until it has worn out. Darius I really must have the latest gadgets. I love buying new things. I’ve had my phone since last January, and I’ll probably keep it until next January. Then I’ll get a newer model. I don’t keep things for long. It’s a throwaway society. I’ve had loads of computers. I usually change them once a year. You know, the next one will be twice as powerful and half the price! I bought this flat in 2004. It’s great, but I’m planning to move soon. I’d like a bigger place.
