M: So, your friend’s getting married on Saturday. What have you bought for her as a wedding gift? I find it hard to choose the right gift.
W: My friend and her fiance had a really good idea. They have cut out pictures from catalogues and pasted them in a notebook. The things in the pictures are what they want. People sign their name by the item they will buy.
M: That’s clever! Then everyone knows that they are buying something the couple really need and there’s no chance of two people buying the same gift. What were in the notebook?
W: Most of the things were household appliances. You know, everything from an iron through a vacuum cleaner to a cooker. I think it’s an excellent way for everyone who knows the couple to help them set their home.
M: So, what did you get them?
W: I bought a sewing machine. My friend likes making her own clothes, but her current sewing machine is quite old and has some problems.
M: What’s wrong with it?
W: She says that after several years of use, it’s not working properly. When she uses it, it makes a funny noise.
M: Household appliances don’t seem to last for a long time nowadays.
W: I think it’s because the manufacturers are constantly bringing out new models. They know that we will buy the new models, so the appliances don’t need to last more than five or ten years at most.
