Complete the following text with these words.

When I was a student, my girlfriend and I decided to (1……..) a flat. We didn’t have any stuff of our own, so we tried to find a nice (2……..) flat. We soon found somewhere that we both liked and we decided to take it. It was in a nice location and the house was really charming outside. Inside, the flat is modern and comfortable. It has two rooms and a kitchen with all modern equipment.

We had to pay a (3……..) of $500 and one month’s rent in (4……..) – a total of $1000. We were lucky because the previous (5……..) had left the place really clean and tidy. So we moved in the next day.

Our (6……..) said we could paint the rooms if we wanted to. So I painted mine bright red!

12. In small groups, design your dream home and garden. Plan your ideal home:

· where the house is

· the number of rooms

· upstairs and downstairs

· the furniture

· the colours

· the garden

· any pets

Include information about the rooms, décor, furniture, equipment, facilities, location and staff. Use your imagination!

Draw a plan of the house and label it. Prepare a short presentation to the class. Do some illustrations or print out some images from the Internet.

Have a class vote for the best house.

Has your house got brick walls, glass windows, a roof and a front door? Read about these houses. They haven’t!

Aslak lives in the North of Canada. Sometimes he lives in a normal north Canadian house. But he is a hunter, and he often goes on long hunting trips. Then he makes an igloo out of the snow and the windows out of ice. It doesn’t have a front door – it has a tunnel instead.

Coober Pedy in South Australia is very hot. Sometimes the temperature there is over 50 degrees Celsius. That’s where Janet lives. You can’t see her house because she lives underground. It’s not so hot there. She has a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom but no windows, no roof, and the walls are rock!

Hashim lives in Malaysia. His house is above the ground, not on it. It’s got windows but there isn’t any glass in them. Malaysia is a very hot country and Malaysians like the air to blow through their houses.

 

Is your house typical of your country? Describe it!

Project task. Use the Internet or encyclopedias to search for “weird houses” e.g. igloo, clay-walled hut, cave, caravan, etc. Bring a printout and description to the next class. Prepare a short presentation.
