    PARTS OF THE HOUSE

    Mr Hudson sells houses. At the moment he is showing 736 Pearblossom Avenue to Mr and Mrs
    Willis.
    "Here we are. As you can see, Mr and Mrs Willis, it's really quite a big house, with two storeys.
    Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom and downstairs we have a large living room, a
    dining room, and a kitchen. There is no basement under the house.
    Before we go in, let's take a look at the house from the outside. I think you'll agree that the garden
    is a nice one and the hedge around it makes it a little more private. You've got a car, haven't you?
    So the garage next to the house will be very useful. Now, look up there at the roof. It was repaired
    only four months ago, so you won't have any trouble from the rain. The chimney up there doesn't
    work any more. You see, the fireplaces were taken out when the central heating was put in.
    OK. Let's go in here through the garden gate and, up the path to the front door. Follow me.
    I'll just open the door and here we are inside. Here's a little entrance hall where you can hang your
    hats and coats. On your right there is the living room and this door on your left leads into a small
    dining room. As you can see, it has a lovely wooden floor. The dining room and the kitchen are
    connected, so you can cook in the kitchen and serve the meals in the dining room. From the
    kitchen window you have a pleasant view of the garden, which, as you can see, has a strong
    wooden fence around it.
    The house is in excellent condition. You'll have no problems with any of the walls, floors or ceilings.
    So, any questions? Ah, yes, the price. Three bedrooms, a garage and a garden. Well, what do you
    think?"
