Answer for exercise 2

The solution for exercise 2 in chapter 1.4 - Generation rent of Speakout Advanced Plus - Students' Book by Frances Eales and Steve Oakes

Question

Read the programme information. In what ways do you think the facilities and services reflect the needs of the target group of young Londoners? How similar is the description to your ideas in question 3 above?

Answer

  1. Students' own answers.
  2. Suggested answers: There is a mix of private and communal space which seems suitable for the target group. There are a range of facilities which might appeal to the group, including spaces for socialising, entertainment and dining (spa, restaurant, games room, roof-top). The library might work well for people who want quiet communal work, study or internet-enabled space. Bills are covered by the rent, which is also convenient.

It is unclear what the igloos are or why they might be suited to the target group.
