Question

Listen to two people - Gavin and Lynn - talking about their friends' new apartment. Answer the questions.

Answer

  1. They wanted a bigger place because their kids are growing up.
  2. It’s spacious, with a big living room, separate rooms for the kids, a great kitchen, lovely wooden floors, huge windows (bright), a balcony and shared garden. Students may also say that it has ‘potential’ (could be improved and designed as they want). Note this will come up in the next task so don’t worry if students miss it.
  3. It’s a bit run-down / needs work; it’s not very central / far out / takes a long time to travel there.
