This Year’s Christmas Toys – level 3

12-10-2018 15:00

London’s Hamleys toy store is predicting Christmas toy hits for this year with many types of toys.

Fuggler is a doll with a strange head and life-like teeth; kids like its imperfection theme. Gravitrax is a building toy that teaches about track systems. Monopoly has a version of its board game for cheaters.

The popular toys run from £8 to £80 and some British adults spend over £150 on their children at Christmas to get the right toys.

Difficult words: theme (a general idea about something), cheater (a person who cheats – does not play fair).
