100 objects in my pocket
On this page you will find small everyday objects. They are things you will find in our pockets and purses. They are important to us. We carry them around. That must mean they are quite important. We will talk about them in English. We will describe these objects and say why they are important. We will say why we use them and when we use them. You will find text to read whatever your level (from beginner to Entry 3). Some of the writing was inspired by learners. Enjoy
