What have you got ...

…in your pocket?

I've got money, a pen, my ID card for school (that photo isn't very nice!) and my mobile phone. It's old and slow now and it hasn't got a good camera. I want a new mobile, but they're expensive.  (Paul)

…on your desk?

I've got books, one or two old video games, and these mini speakers. They're small, but they're really good. And I've got a photo of my cousins in Australia. They've got a pet parrot. His name's Sinbad and he's really popular with my cousins' friends. We haven't got a pet.  (Ben)

…in your bag?

I've got my books for school, my mobile and I've got this present for my dad. He hasn't got this book. It's about cooking and it's very interesting (if you like cooking!). (Maria)
