Last week we bought a new vacuum-cleaner. I decided at once to test it. I started vacuum-cleaning the beautiful white rug on the floor. But the vacuum-cleaner was so powerful that it sucked in a piece of long table-cloth from the table in the middle of the room. The most unpleasant thing about it was that at this moment the table was laid. There were cups of coffee and a cake on it. In a second all of these were on the rug. I was very upset and disappointed. After all it was I who had to clean all the mess after this.
