MOVING IN
Alice and Ben are ready to move into their new flat. They are examining their new flat and discussing where to put the furniture.
A: Let’s start with the kitchen.
B: All right. It is light and pleasant. There is a gas stove here to cook the meals or boil the kettle on.
A: Look, here is a sink to wash the dishes in after meals. It has two taps, one of hot water and the other for cold water.
B: How wonderful! Come over here, Alice, there is a built-in refrigerator in the kitchen!
A: A fridge to keep food cool or frozen in hot weather! That’s marvelous!
B: And there is a number of shelves and two kitchen cupboards for pans, frying-pans and kettles.
A: One of the cupboards is good for plates and dishes, cups and saucers as well as for cutlery.
B: There is very little furniture we need to buy as the kitchen has fitted units, just a kitchen table and some stools or chairs, nothing else.
A: You’re right. Some pretty curtains for the window are so nice and cheerful too! Now let’s go into the study.
B: Here we are! This room is very good for the study.
A: Yes, there is enough place for a writing-desk over there by the window.
B: And the best place for the bookcase is to the right of the writing-desk in the right-hand corner.
A: What about the sofa?
B: There is no room for it here. Besides my study is a room for work not rest.
A: Your study?!
