1. Read the conversation between a sales woman who shows her clients around a newly built flats and decide if the statements given after the text are true or false.

SALESWOMAN: This is a representative of our basic two-bedroom flats. You will have two rooms, one reception room, a kitchen, a bathroom and separate loo. All the flats have got balconies. This is a reception room; it is the biggest in the flat.

FIONA: Look. David, there is a fireplace; here!

SALESWOMAN: Oh, it's electric. You can't have log fireplaces in new houses.

DAVID: It's alright. Even if it's not real, it makes the room warmer and cosier.

FIONA: The room is big enough for us to buy that huge sofa and two armchairs we saw in the shop the other day. They will look beautiful here, won't they?

DAVID: Sure they will. Though I prefer them in white as the room has an easterly aspect and there won't be much sun here in the afternoon.

FIONA: White sounds great, especially if we buy that super modern hoover that shampoos the furniture and the carpets. And as we have that much space left we can buy two more bookcases and a couple of bookshelves to put all our books. The old bookcases won't be as crammed as they are now.

SALESWOMAN: Can we go over to the bedrooms, please⁷ As you see, the second bedroom is smaller that the first one. Here you do get small fitted cupboards, but I'm sure you would have to put in your own fitted wardrobes.

DAVID: Yes. fitted cupboards and wardrobes are much more convenient than regular ones, they save so much space and the room seems larger.

FIONA: Our old bed will look out of place in this lovely room. We'll have to buy a new one with bedside tables. And, of course, we'll have to think about the carpets and the curtains!

DAVID: Fiona, all in good time. Let's first buy this flat.

SALESWOMAN: Would you like to see the kitchen? It is combined with the dining room which makes it bigger and more convenient. It has got fitted cupboards, a space for a cooker, which can be either electric or gas. There are plenty of plugs for a fridge, a dishwasher and deep freeze.

FIONA: David, as I spend more time in the kitchen than you, I want to decorate it myself.

DAVID: It's fine with me. Just don’t ask me for more money that I can earn!
