Reading Task 1. An unusual house in the countryside
Joey
I live in a windmill! It has five floors and a lot of stairs. The kitchen is at the bottom, the living
room is on the first floor, and my bedroom is at the top. It's noisy because of the sails in the wind,
especially in the winter, but the strangest thing is that the rooms are round Mine is the smallest. It's
difficult to find space for all my things. It's fun here though, and the view is amazing!
Abigail
My friends are always surprised that I live in a 300-years-old house! When my parents bought our
house, it was mess, but now it's beautiful. There are 80 large rooms and 40 bedrooms, so we need a
lot of furniture to fill it. It's great place for parties, and playing hide-and-seek, but it's easy to get
lost!
David
My home is traditional cottage in a country village. I live here with my parents and my two sisters.
It's prettier than my friend's houses, but it's very old, so all the rooms are small and uncomfortable,
and the ceilings are low. Also, there's only one bathroom, but my parents love it! My room is in the
attic. It's very small, and the floor is not very straight. There is only a bed, a cupboard and small
desk under the window.
