Places to Live

Extract 1: We’d lived in the city since I could remember, so in last month my parents announced we were moving to the countryside. I felt totally amazed. Dad said he’d found us a spacious, fully furnished house in a nearby village. As I didn’t want to move anywhere, I didn’t know what to say. Our flat was small, but I liked it. Anyway, we went there a few days later and guess what? I bumped into our new neighbour, a 20-year-old girl, and I fell in love at first sight. I didn’t mind the move so much anymore.

Extract 2: Are you fed up with living in a busy city? Have you had enough of your tiny flat and noisy neighbours? If you feel like that, perhaps it’s time for you to consider moving to a more peaceful environment. Visit stand 36 and change the way you live. Find out more about our affordable cottages outside the town. Our dedicated staff will answer all your questions and help you make the right choice.

Extract 3: I don’t think I can find words to describe the place where I live. Instead of a cosy two-room flat in a pleasant neighbourhood which I thought I was going to rent, I’m renting a tiny room in a rough area. The room has little furniture too. My landlord may be quite friendly, but he hardly does any housework, so if I don’t clean the kitchen it stays a mess for days. I know it’s only student accommodation and the rent is low, but I’m already thinking of moving out.

Extract 4: Are you in the mood for a change? Have you been thinking a lot recently about the place you call home? Are you frustrated with your ancient looking rooms? If so, you’re more than welcome to follow our advice and ideas to furnish your house from top to bottom. On the first two floors you’ll be spoilt for choice. Don’t forget to visit our top floor to talk to our interior designers who are ready to assist you in any way they can. Whether you live in a cottage or a modern apartment, we’ve got what you want.
