Task 1. Read, translate, and retell the text.
The House
A house may be built of wood, stone, brick, concrete. A building may be one-, two-, three- or four-storeyed and higher. There are many multi-storeyed houses in our town now.
American multi-storeyed buildings are called skyscrapers. London houses have mostly 2 or 3 storeys (and only 5% have from 8 to 10 storeys). Our first floor is usually called the ground floor in England. And our second floor corresponds to the English first floor. The Americans call the floors as we do: first, second, etc.
The house we live in is our home. The house may front a street, a park, or a square. It may have a southern, northern, eastern or western aspect. The windows of my room overlook a lane.
When people move into a new flat they usually have a house-warming party.
There may be a one-room flat, a two-room flat, etc. Most of the flats nowadays have all modern conveniences such as: running water, gas, electricity, central heating.
The entrance to the house from the street is called the front-door. There is sometimes another entrance too, leading into the house from the yard, the back-door.
The staircase leads to the upper floors. We go upstairs or downstairs. The staircase consists of stairs (steps). The steps between two landings are called a flight of stairs, and the door of the flat usually opens on to the landing.
When the visitors come, they knock at the door or press the bell. Then one of the inhabitants answers the door (the bell) and the visitor asks if the person he wants to see is in or out.
Task 2. Learn the dialogues by heart.
