I: Is it in a good location?
EA: Beautiful! Very picturesque! And the flower garden is charming with climbing roses and lavender. The house is a total gem.
I: I see you really like this house. What’s its biggest advantage?
EA: There are many. It’s a cottage of character. The grandfather of the owner was born in it and his other ancestors. Then there’s its amazing location. It looks onto the local church, that’s why it‘s called Church Cottage. And the fireplace is amazing! Look at the photo. The house is perfectly suitable for pets.
I: Are there any disadvantages?
EA: Only one, probably. The house is typical of the period, so the ceilings are quite low, which makes the cottage not really suitable for tall people.
I: Is it on sale now? I think my aunt might be interested in it. She would like to move house, she loves period buildings. And she’s not very tall. Ha-ha!
EA: It will be available next month. Now the owner is preparing it foe sale. It is being repaired and repainted. You can have a look at the leaflet. Here you are.
Unit 2, Lesson 7, Ex.3 In many occasions, people have asked me what my dream flat would look like. I never really thought about it, but after seeing pictures of an apartment in New York, I immediately said that it was my dream house. Well, apartment. First of all, it is in the centre of the city, on the very top of the building. Thanks to that, it has the most beautiful view of New York. The thing I liked about it the most, was that it is placed on the whole floor, so I would have all that space to myself. Considering that, it has its own private elevator. After exiting this lift, you would enter a spacious hallway with large glass windows. The walls are covered with beige wallpapers and pictures. A beautiful red sofa is put facing the window. The kitchen is totally spacious. It has high bar chairs, as well as a beautiful eating table, made of glass, and chairs covered with white leather. The living room has such a modern design. The wall to the outside is totally made out of glass, which gives it a special look. There is a huge plasma TV on the other wall, and in every corner of the room you can find speakers, as a part of Home Theater system. In the centre of the room, there is a sofa, where you can sit or lie down while watching TV. A beautiful fireplace is put in the room to make it look, and if needed, feel warm. The bedroom is made in a white-red combination. The walls and the floor are white, and the bed and the curtains, as well as some decorations are red, which gives the room that special touch. There are also doors that lead to the dressing room which has lots of clothes, a place for shoes, a big mirror with lights and a table for make-up. And finally, there is a bathroom, which is huge. It has a bath and a shower. It is made in gold-white combination, and it looks kind of antique. That is pretty much it about my dream flat. I just hope I will get to it one day.
