Exercise 1 page 35:
We live in an ordinary house and I think it is terrific! Our house is now 30 years old, but it looks newer. My house is like hundreds of other houses in the suburbs, one story with an attached garage. There is nothing special about the house, and it won’t win any prizes for architecture, but it’s perfect for our family. The kitchen is big and has new appliances, including a beautiful new dishwasher and a microwave oven. I don’t like the heat, but we have air conditioning in the living room and bedrooms, so it is always cool. For the kids there’s a nice yard where they can play. It’s very safe, so my wife and I don’t have to worry. I am very thankful that we can afford this house and live our ordinary lives there.
