011 houses and apartment

Beginner
A: I like this apartment. Do you think we can afford the mortgage?
B: yes. I think so. It’s not a very expensive apartment. It’s in the right area and it has everything that we are looking for. The rooms are quite large too.
A: I love the balcony. We can sit outside and enjoy the sun in summer. We are on the 12th floor, so there’s very nice view from the balcony.
B: the neighbourhood is nice too. There is a park nearby.
A: yes, and there are many houses nearby. I like it that the neighbourhood isn’t full of apartment blocks.
B: it’s a pity we can’t afford a house. A garden would be so nice.
A: yes, it would. Don’t worry. There’s a lawn outside the building and there’s the park nearby. This place will be fine.
B: the building is quite new and well constructed. I’m happy with the fittings too.
A: yes, everything has been well designed.

Intermediate
A: so, tell me about you new house. How is it different to your old one?
B: well, first of all, it’s much bigger. It has the same number of rooms, but each room is larger. We also have a larger garden, which our dog loves, of course!
A: so, it’s a three-bedrooms detached house?
B: yes. One bedroom is for my wife and i. there’s another for our daughter. My wife wants to use the third one as a guest room, but I’d like to make it into a study. Our daughter is also keen on making it a study, so that’s probably what will happen.
A: what’s the kitchen like? I know both you and your wife like to cook.
B: that’s one of the main reason we chose that particular house. The kitchen and dining room are together. It’s really large.
A: are the rooms nice and bright?
B: yes, they are. That’s very important to us. We like to live in a home with plenty of natural light. Each room has large windows.
A: do you have a balcony?
B: no, we don’t. we wish we had one. That’s the only thing we wanted, but don’t have. The area is very nice and the neighbours seem friendly.
A: you’re right on the edge of the city, aren’t you? There can’t be much noise or traffic there. Is it easy to get into city centre?
B: it’s a very quiet neighbourhood. There’s some traffic, but not much. It’s not very difficult to get to the city centre, but you must remember to turn left and right at the right places or you’ll get lost. So when are you going to drop by?

B: certainly. As you can see, we have several three-piece suites on sale. Feel free to sit down and test how comfortable they are.

B: yes. The price has been reduced by 50%. It’s a real bargain.

Beginner
A: I’m thinking about redecorating my bedroom. I bought this magazine in order to get some ideas. What do you think of this?
B: that looks good. The room in the picture is bigger than your bedroom, so you wouldn’t be able to put all the furniture in your room.
A: I’d like to have the bad and the wardrobe.
B: you would fit both of them in your bedroom. Perhaps you could also get the dressing table. I think that one would look good in your bedroom.
A: yes, it would. It’s very expensive though.
B; everything in this magazine seems expensive. You could probably find something similar in a discount store.
A: yes. I’m sure I could find something similar at one. I’d also like to get a new carpet for my bedroom.
B: you can get cheap carpets easily. Another idea is to buy a rug. That would cover a lot of the carpet and you wouldn’t have to replace the carpet. It would save you a lot of work.
A: that’s a good idea. I’m really looking forward to redoing my bedroom.
B
Intermediate
A: I have redecorated my bedroom. I decide to repaint the walls and change the pictures. I also bought a new pair of curtains. What do you think of it?

A: I bought a new mattress and some fresh bedclothes. I also bought a new dressing table and a new bedside table.
B: new furniture makes a room seem so fresh. I see that you also bought a new lamp for your bedside table.
A: do you think that I should get a new wardrobe?
B: that wardrobe looks quite big. Is it full of clothes?
A: yes. I have some many clothes stuffed into it. Perhaps I should get rid of some of them. There are clothes in there that I never wear anymore.
B: I like to get rid of clothes that I don’t wear rather than keeping them in a wardrobe. They take up too much space. There are several charity shops that you can give old clothes to. They will be happy to receive them as long as they are in reasonable condition.
A: that’s a good idea. After I get rid of the old clothes I no longer wear, I can see what new clothes I need to buy.
B: I need to buy some new clothes for the summer too. Perhaps we can go together one day.
A: ok. I’ll let you know when I’ve sorted out my clothes.

B: I look at myself in the mirror. Sometimes, it’s not a pleasant sight, especially if I have been out late the late before.
A: do you usually shower or take a bath?
B: I usually don’t have time for a bath in the mornings, so I just take a shower. Sometimes I need a cold shower to wake me up and sometimes I need a hot one, especially if it’s winter and I need to warm up.
A; do you shave every morning?
B: I shave every workday, but I only shave at weekends if I’m going out somewhere. If I’m staying at home, I don’t shave.
A: do you brush your teeth twice a day as dentists recommend?
B: Yes. I brush my teeth in the morning, just before I go to work. It’s actually the last thing I do before leaving. Then I brush again before bed.
A: your dentist must be proud of you!

Intermediate
A: the bathroom looks lovely. Did you redecorate it yourself or did you get someone in to do it for you?
B: I did it myself. I went online and found a lot of website devoted to home improvement. Then I went to DIY shop and bought everything I needed. I’m sure I saved a lot of money by doing it myself and it was fun too. I learnt a lot by doing it myselft.
A: so, let’s see. You have put new tiles on the floor and replaced a few tiles on the walls. You’ve also added a small cupboard for toiletries. The bath, shower, and washbasin are the same as before, aren’t they?
B: yes, they are. I gave them a good clean. They are in good condition and don’t need to be replaced.
A: how long did it take you to do the tiling.
B: as I hadn’t done it before, I had to keep referring to information I got from the internet. Doing the floor tiles took a whole day-from early morning to right through to the evening. Then I spent a few hours replacing the cracked wall tiles. Putting the cupboard up took about an hour, so it took me two days altogether.
A: I think you’ve done a very good job. As least as good as a professional would do. Perhaps I can convince you to redo my bathroom?
B: you’ll be lucky! However, I’ll print out the information I got from the internet and you can do it yourselfe.

Beginner
A: do you think I still fashionable in this dress?
B: I think so. Blue is still fashionable at the moment.
a: this style came out last year, though. I like the dress, but I’m not sure whether last year’s fashions will be same this year.
b: I think this kind of dress will stay in fashion for a few more years. People don’t change fashions every year. It would be too expensive.
a: yes. Only the top designer try to tell people to change fashion every year, but only rich people can do it.
b: there are some real fashion victims who just have to keep totally up-to-date with expensive clothes.
a: I wish I could be one of those people, but my budget simply doesn’t stretch that far. I have to limit the amount of money I spend on clothes otherwise I would go on a shopping frenzy.
B: I know what you mean. The situation will be worse if we marry our boyfriends and have children. The we’ll have even less money to spend on fashionable clothes!

Intermediate
A: look at these clothes designed by top fashion designer like Versacci, Calvin Klein, and Vivienne Westwood. What do you think of them?
B: well, they look lovely, but they’re not very practical. I mean, would you wear that dress to the office or walking down the street?
A: I know what you mean. People would stare at you in amazement if you wore something like that in an everyday situation. I suppose only extravagant rich people wear then at cocktail parties.
B: maybe. I’m not sure why they have fashion shows like this. Hardly anyone will buy those clothes. The clothes you see are nothing like the ones that ordinary people wear. It seems like a waste of money.
A: I think that the designers hold these fashion shows for a few reasons. First, it’s just like a big party. They can meet each other and network. The other thing is that it is great advertising. All the journalists and photographers are there. Thirdly, it give them a chance to show what they would like to see people wearing.
B: you meant it’s an expression of their fantasies?
A: yes. I think the designers are saying that these clothes are what they would like to see people wear if those people weren’t concerned with what other people might think. In a way, the designers are saying‘don’t worry about what others think. Wear what you like!’.
B: very philosophical. I think they design these clothes more for publicity. They try to see who can be the most extreme and outrageous, but still stylish.
A: come on. All this fashion has reminded me that I want to buy some clothes.
