Household appliances
Read the text and say if the sentences are true (T), false (F) or not given (NG).

Appliances are part of our daily routine. Do you remember the arguments in the past about who
was going to do the washing up? Most kitchens now have a dishwasher to solve that problem.
Coffee machines are becoming more common and many shop sell refills. For people like me who
don't like hoovering, shops are now selling robots which take all the effort away, but they are still
very expensive. Your new high-speed blender can make nutritious smoothies while the kettle is
handy for a relaxing herbal tea. When you're rushing to make an evening meal, the microwave is
very useful. And let's not forget the toaster, perfect for a quick snack in the afternoon.
A: People used to argue about the taking out the rubbish.
B: Not many shops sell coffee machine refills.
C: Robot hoovers aren't cheap.
D: Your kettle can make nutritious smoothies.
E: The microwave can make a quick meal in the evening.
