Hello Camshair,

I've just managed to complete Task 5 using Safari on an iPhone. You have to do what Jonathan says -- after you put the first word in each group, to add another word, you have to always touch on the little white hand for it to move.

I'm sorry you've had trouble with this. If you'd like us to explain to you how to do it again, please just let us know.

All the best,

Kirk

I mostly use all of them for the reasons they are made respectively. But some need to be thrown away as I can't recycle, I usually keep which can be. I usually use tubs, bowls and sometimes jar to store meats in the fridge.

Actually, I use all of them. But those I use the most for storing food are jars and tubs. Small plastic tubs are very suitable to store food in the refrigerator. I usually keep small jars because I find them really useful when I need to store some baby food or spices; for being made of glass, they preserve better the food and are healthier. For water, when we run out of bottled water during the week, I usually fill up some glass bottles from the tap.

In my daily life I use jug and bottle for water and wine. One thing that I really appreciate now is tubs because I can use them to store food that I cooked.

The containers I uses mostly include box, packet, bowl, jar, tube, tub, bottle and tin. I use them as containers (carriers and packaging items) containing some contents which I make use of.

I think the container I use many times is bottle. Because in my daily life I always feel thirsty and need a bottle of water to drink, I really like to drink pure water. I also usually use some containers like bowl (when I have breakfast, lunch or dinner), Jug (when I want to pour water into glass), can (I buy some soft drinks like Coca Cola, Pepsi,...), Box (I usually move house to another place and I need it to put something in), Packet (when I go to the convenient store and need to buy something like snacks, chocolate,... and they are usually put in packets), Tube (an example is toothpaste, you have to brush your teeth every day including days and nights to protect your teeth from germs).
