012 living rooms
Beginner
A: good morning. I’m thinking about buying some new furniture for my living
room. Could you help me?
B: certainly. As you can see, we have several three-piece suites on sale.
Feel free to sit down and test how comfortable they are.
A: I came to your store yesterday and have come back today to make a final
decision. I think I like the black leather suite. It’s on a real bargain.
B: yes. The price has been reduced by 50%. It’s a real bargain.
A: I’ll take it. I also need to improve the lighting in my living room. Do
you have any suggestions?
B: those floor lamps are very nice and you can vary the brightness
according to whether you’re reading or watching tv. How big is your living
room?
A: it’s quite large. It’s about 40 square metres.
B: I’d suggest you buy two. That allows you to change the brightness of the
room better.
A: ok. I like the design of this lamps. I also need some cushion covers.
I’ll just browse through those ones over there.

A: hello, james. Come in . go through to the living room.
B: hi kate…thanks…wow! Look at all the furniture. You must spent a fortune
on it! I love your new three-pieces suite.
A: I told you that I had been saving up money to buy some new furniture and
do some redecorating. I finally saved enough and did everything at once.
B: good for you! You’ve got new curtains too. That’s a very nice shade of
blue. This sofa is very comfortable. I could sit on it all day!
A: do you like my carpet? Be honest! Tell me what you really think.
B: to be honest, it looks like your old carpet. Is it really new or did you
just have your old cleaned?
A: well spotted! I actually had it cleaned twice, because it was so dirty.
The rug is new. You remember my trip to china? Well, I bought is there.
B: I love the design. I’ve heard that the actual cost of rugs in china is
less than the cost of sending it home.
A: that’s true. I bought a second bookcase too.
b; that was a good idea. Before, you had books and magazines all over the
room. It looks very untidy. I see you have also put two shelves up for you
ornaments. You haven’t bought a new tv though.
A: I don’t watch much tv nowadays. I’m so busy with other things.
B; like buying furniture and redecorating! Good for you! Your living room
looks much brighter and tidier than before. Have you ever thought of becoming an
interior designer?
