1. These microwave ovens are very popular. You won’t find them in other stores because they’re made especially for us. We import them from our factory in Mexico. They’re very well made and come with a three-year guarantee. Your receipt is your guarantee. One great thing is they only weigh ten kilos, so you can easily pick one up if you want to move it or clean it. They also have a really special feature you don’t find in other microwaves. They display popular recipes on this little screen in front. It has recipes for over 500 easy dishes.

2. This jacket is very strong. It’s made of nylon, so it’s very easy to take care of. It comes in six different colors. You don’t need to dry clean it. You can just throw it in the washing machine, then hang it up to dry And let me show you something really special about it. It’s reversible. It turns inside out so you can wear it either way. See? The color inside is different from the color outside. Isn’t that great? So you really have two jackets for the price of one.

3. These new flat screen TVs are very popular nowadays. They’re not from the United States. They’re made in South Korea. They’re quite light, so you can pick them up and move them around if you want to. And the special thing about these TVs is that you can also hang them on the wall. Now that’s something you can’t do with any other kind of TV! They come in three different sizes. They’re more expensive than a regular TV, but they’re very convenient, and they look great in your house or apartment.

4. These new watches are very popular with teenagers. They’re modern and made entirely of plastic so they’re very light. Each watch comes with six different bands, so you can change the band to match your clothes. Another thing is they’re very strong. They’re also waterproof. But what’s really special is that this is not only a watch. You can use it to send and receive e-mail messages.
