4 Complete the text with the correct words (a–d). Car boot sales
If you’re looking for something to do on 1 sunny Sunday morning while you’re in England, I’d recommend looking in the local newspaper, where 2 of the local car boot sales will be advertised. Car boot sales are 3 popular English pastime and are loved by all bargain hunters. Professional car booters get there as early as 7 a.m., when the event is 4 and competitive. Who can be the first to spot the bargain and part with their well-earned cash? Go later and it’s more of a relaxed family event. One man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure, and no more so than when you’re at one of these sales. Here, instead of binning 5 , people make money from it. Admittedly, almost 6 of it is, in fact, useless junk, but don’t be surprised if some delicate antique china cups or a 7 toy catches your eye. It won’t cost much, will it? How could you possibly walk by? You stop 8 , and before you know it, you’re going home with something you never knew you needed.
