www.anglophonie.fr My Dream House (Ello.org) page 1/2 www.elllo.org/english/Mixers/T102-Dreamhouse.htm Various people describe what their dream house would be like, what it would have and where it would be. Samir, Sweden “Oh, my dream house? It is on the beach. You have a great view of the ocean and the beach, and it should be really big - a big house - with maybe an elevator, and at least three cars and a cinema in the house as well. That would be cool.” Cheryl, Guam “If I had a dream house, I think that it would first of all be next to the ocean. I love the ocean. Secondly, it would probably have really high ceilings because I like places that are very airy and big and spacious. Thirdly, my dream house would definitely have a jacuzzi, a hot tub: something like that, and a very big, big bathroom and a big balcony.” Jonathan, Canada “To describe my dream house: it would actually be very simple. It would probably be a small apartment in a large city that was very strong on points of culture - maybe in Barcelona or some city like that. It would probably be a simple apartment in an entertainment, nightlife district with lots of culture around and a very lively scene.” Emily, Djibouti “My dream house? I don't want a big, big house, just as long as it's surrounded by nature. I don't wanna live in a modern country or big cities like New York or Tokyo, but I prefer quiet places where you can really meditate and live your life fully.” Demelza, Australia “My dream house would be two stories high. It would be made of wooden floor boards and plain white walls, and I think it would have a Thai style decor.” Hoa, Vietnam “My dream house? I would like to have my house near the beach because I like swimming, I like going to the beach, and I then, I love a lot of windows, so my house should have, you know, a lot of windows, so that I can see. I can have a view to the ocean, and it should be far away from the city because I want to enjoy myself and stay away from the noise.” Vocabulary page 2/2 01. what their dream house would be like (infinitive = to be like) à quoi ressemblerait leur maison de rêve 02. an elevator (US) / a lift (UK) un ascenseur 03. as well également 04. first of all premièrement 05. a ceiling un plafond 06. airy bien aéré, spacieux 07. a hot tub = jacuzzi 08. a lively scene un environnement animé 09. just as long as it’s surrounded by nature du moment que ce soit entouré par la nature 10.
