It's not big at all, It consists of a living-room, a bedroom, a kitchen with a small dining area, a pantry and of course a bathroom with the toilet. But I like it. All the services I need are within easy reach. I can walk everywhere without using my car. The furniture is not always to my taste but it's all right. The wall-unit is a bit old-fashioned and the suite should be recovered. But I think I'm quite clever at decorating with colours and little ornaments so at least the flat doesn't look ugly. It's the kitchen T love the most. Since I'm fond of cooking, I had a lot of modern equipment installed here. I've even got a dish-washer. It's marvellous. There's a garage in the basement and a boiler room as well, plus a store-room for old things. There's a little garden around the block which I share with the other tenants. We grow vegetables and flowers there. I adore flowers. There are almost no trees, only a pine-tree which was planted about fifty years ago. Sometimes I think of having a house of my own, but it costs so much that I simply can't afford. It is O.K. until I live on my own without my parents, but later I might want something bigger. Give detailed answers to the following questions with the help of the vocabulary below. Do you live ina flat or a house? Who do you share it with? Would you like to change it for a bigger/smaller one? Do you sometimes think about having a dream-house? Describe it. Are you interested in magazines of interiour design? Who would you turn to if you wanted to have a house of your own built? How do you cope with the constantly rising expenses on the house? What sort of alteration are you planning in your home, if you are planning any? What kind of redecoration will you have to make in your home in the near future? Do you intend to sell your house and buy another one?46 pre-fabricated building tower block high-rise block sky-scraper architect architecture building material terraced houses bungalow cottage concrete plaster tiled roof thatched roof site freehold flat council flat lodging lodger digs tenant share,-d,-d a room with sy rent landlord landlady air-conditioner courtyard attic basement electric meter gas meter cellar boiler room workshop garret caretaker staircase storeroom tile stove broom bucket dust pan doorstep HOUSING panelhz toronyhaz toronyhaz felhdkarcolé épitészet épitéanyag sorhazak verandas, foldszintes haz villa beton vakolat cseréptetd nadteté telek Gréklakas: bérlakas albérlet albérlé albérlet lakasbérlé epyiitt lakik vkivel lakbér hazior hazinéni légkondicionélé udvar manzard alagsor villanyéra gaz6ra pince kazanhaz miihely padlas gondnok léposéhéz, taroldhelyiség, cserépkélyha szemétlapat kiiszibHOUSING 47 doormat labtorlé window-sill ablakparkany layout of the flat a lakds beosztdsa corridor folyos6 dining nook étkez6sarok spacious tagas kitchenette féz6fiilke well-equipped jol felszerelt food processor robotgép bread slicer kenyérszeletelé gép extractor fan szagelszivé utilize,-d,-d kihaszndl, hasznosit redecorate,-d,-d felujit pantry éléskamra tile esempe period furniture stilbator rocking chair hintaszék cane chair fonott nadszék suite ilégarnitira bunk beds emeletes Agy pillow parna blanket takaré sheet lepedé cushion diszparna case for the shoes cipétarté case for the papers ijsagtarté settee fotelagy chest of drawers koméd wall-unit szekrénysor built-in unit beépitett szekrény blind rolé, redény china figure porcelin szobrocska wood carving fafaragas landscape tajkép still life csendélet oil-painting, olajfestmény water-colour vizfestmény cabinet szekrényke air hole szell6z6 socket konnektor plug dugé standard lamp allolampa chandelier esillar48 HOUSING spotlamp spotlampa bulb villanykorte lampshade lampaernyé building society épitési vallalat pull,-ed,-ed down a house hazat lebont loan banki kdlcsén deposit letét, belépési Ssszeg monthly repayment havi térlesztés house-warming party hazszentelé buli Grammar Review - Practise the Tenses - Intermediate.
