— What’s the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought?
(Katie Knox):
I like skateboarding a lot while Mum doesn’t like it very much! I’ve got two skateboards. The first one is in bright red, yellow and green colours. My Dad bought it for me. It was very expensive. I use it mostly at my house at weekends. But the most expensive one is black and white. I bought it with my pocket money.
(David Lemon):
This year I am very lucky because I have saved 500 pounds over my birthday, Christmas and from the Easter. I have been trying to save up my money, but I have found it very hard. There are so many nice things to buy, and I’ve bought a lot of wonderful things: a pack of coloured pencils, a brown wrist watch, concert tickets and lots of games and books. But the most expensive thing I bought was a mobile phone! I had to buy it because my little sister threw my old one on the floor.
(Emma Adeleye):
The most expensive things I’ve bought must be clothes or shoes. I have this party dress that I wear for special occasions. It’s about two years old now, but I remember that it was the most expensive thing that I had ever bought.
