WORTH A FORTUNE
Do you have something worth a lot of money hiding in your cupboard? Antiques are big business
today, and there are now lots of popular TV programmes encouraging us to search our attics and
garages or to visit auctions and second-hand shops to find that one item that will make us a
millionaire!
In these programmes experts visit people’s homes to search them for interesting items to sell at
auction, or they take people to markets and shops to help them find a bargain. And it’s not just old
antiques that are of interest – people are making money from items they bought just ten or fifteen
years ago.
But why do we have this fascination? Why do these programmes send us hurrying to look through the
things we’ve had for ages? ‘It’s only human nature to want something for nothing!’ says expert Nadia
Thomas. ‘We take great pleasure in getting money for something we thought was worthless! It’s like
the desire we have as children to find hidden treasure. This is the adult equivalent!’
So, what about that painting that your great-aunt left you when she died? You’ve always hated it but
who knows – it could be worth a fortune! And you could be on TV!

Are the sentences true or false? Justify your false answers.
