15A.1
1. Her or cell phone mobile
2. Her car
3. Her jeans
That´s a difficult question. Maybe, my door keys? No, I'm only joking. I've got a cell phone now and, to be honest, I couldn't live without it. I've had it since I started working at the school. I don't use it for texting yet, but a lot of my friends do, so I must start soon. I've got a car - a small red Fiat. It's a typical teacher's car, cheap and basic! I've had it for a year now and it's made my life much easier. I love my car but I don't really like driving. There's so much traffic in Rio and it's quite scary at times. Thiago's more confident than me. I don't know why, but men seem to like machines more than women. So I guess I'll choose my mobile, my car and . there are so many more things. Must it be only three? OK, then my favourite pair of jeans. I've had them since university so they must be nearly 10 years old now. They're so comfortable and Thiago says they look great!

My favourite shirt is the green, silk one I got last year in Sao Paulo. I bought it in a shopping mall - I think it was Ibirapuera. It wasn't too expensive as I got it during the sales. I've had it for over a year now and I wear it whenever I go to a formal party or an important meeting. I love the colour and it's made of a really soft material. My wife thinks it makes me look smart and sexy.
