生活英語口語:搬進新家啦!
S: have you moved into your new house yet, Michael?
M: we just moved in yesterday, actually.
S: so, what do you think about the place? Are you glad that you moved in?
M: it's great! Unfortunately, we're going to spend a fortune doing everything up.
S: how old is the house then?
M: it's about 200 years old. It has a lot of history!
S: sounds fastinating. Where is your new house located?
M: it's just off of the ring road.
S: do you have a big yard?
M: it's bigger than our last one. I've got flowers in the front, and fruits, vegetables and a fish pond in the back.
S: is your house well-lit?
M: oh, yes. Our windows let plenty of natural light in. They've also got wonderful views of the park behind our house.
S: how many rooms does your house have?
M: right now, there are three bedrooms, two bahrooms, a kitchen, a sitting room, a dining room, and a living room. We're hoping to add on a green room and a guest bedroom. In fact, when the guest room is ready, you should come and stay with us for a weekend.
S: I'd be up for that!
米歇爾,你搬進新房了嗎?
確切地說，我們是昨天剛剛搬進去的。
那么，你覺得新家怎么樣?住進去高興嗎?
好極了!倒霉的是，為了把剩下的工作都做好我們還得花上一大筆錢。
這房子蓋了有多久了?
大約有200年了。歷史很悠久!
聽起來真不錯!你的新別墅在什么地方?
在環(huán)線的外面。
有大的庭院嗎?
比我們以前住的那個要大。我在前院種了些花，后院種水果和蔬菜，還弄了魚池。
采光好吧?
哦，是挺好的。我們的窗戶可以讓很多自然光照進來。而且還能看到我們別墅后面一個景色相當(dāng)美的公園。
你們家一共有多少間屋子?
現(xiàn)在一共有：三間臥室，兩間浴室，一個廚房，一間起居室，一個飯廳和一個客廳。我們還想再加一個花房和一間客房。實際上，客房準(zhǔn)備好以后，你就可以來我們這兒度周末了。
我真期待這一天!
