Hey, you don’t always have to be the one to answer

questions about what you read. Sometimes it’s helpful

to ask your own questions.

Directions: Read each ad carefully. Write a question that asks for some important detail that
is missing. The example will get you started.

A good “For Sale”classified ad should include

• the name of the object offered for sale
• a general description of it
• some specific features, if possible
• its age or condition
• the asking price
• a way of contacting the seller

Example: Bike for sale. 10-speed. Boys. Red, with rack. Call 443-1203
