A. TEXT

The House We Live In*

A month ago our family was offered a two-room flat in a house that had just been built. First Mother and Father went there to have a look at it. They said they might not like it at all and would prefer staying in the old house. But they did like it at once and soon we moved in. The

new flat of ours

is on the third floor in a five-storied house.

As there is no

lift (A m e r . — ‘elevator’) we have

to walk

up and down the stairs.

 

The house

we live in has three entrances,

ours is

right in the middle. One can enter the house from the street

* See Vocabulary pp. 6—7; 16—18.

«


or

from the back yard. The latter is meant for children

to

play and for adults to rest in. It has not been cleared

up

yet. There are still some pieces of brick, little heaps of

clay and sand here and there1 and other things left over by the builders.

Mother said the other day that the residents must get together and elect a house committee that would take care of everything. A number of trees would be planted in the

courtyard and

some

grass and flowers would be

sown.

A few benches

and

an arbour would be thought of

too...

Learn by heart.

B.DIALOGUE

-H e l e n : I hear you’ve been offered a new flat, George, haven’t you?

G e o r g e :

Right you are, Helen. And a fine flat at that!

We are to move in one of these days2. You can’t imagine

how glad we are!

H e l e n :

Hearty

congratulations from everyone of us.

I hope

to be

invited to a house-warming party3. What

about that, .George?

G e o r g e : Certainly, you will be. But you know, it’s a mat­ ter of time. First we must think of buying a few pieces of new furniture. We simply can’t take the old stuff to the new flat. What’s your opinion about that?

H e l e n :

Sure, you can’t. And here I’d like to give you

some

advice. You’d better look for some Czechoslovak

or Rumanian furniture. It isn’t very expensive, and it looks charming, especially in a new flat.

G e o r g e: Oh, thank you ever so much. We’ll follow your advice by all means.
