对话文本
S: have you moved into your new house yet, Michael?
M: we just moved in yesterday, actually.
S: so, what do you think about the place? Are you glad that you moved in?
M: it's great! Unfortunately, we're going to spend a fortune doing everything up.
S: how old is the house then?
M: it's about 200 years old. It has a lot of history!
S: sounds fastinating. Where is your new house located?
M: it's just off of the ring road.
S: do you have a big yard?
M: it's bigger than our last one. I've got flowers in the front, and fruits, vegetables and a fish pond in the back.
S: is your house well-lit?
M: oh, yes. Our windows let plenty of natural light in. They've also got wonderful views of the park behind our house.
S: how many rooms does your house have?
M: right now, there are three bedrooms, two bahrooms, a kitchen, a sitting room, a dining room, and a living room. We're hoping to add on a green room and a guest bedroom. In fact, when the guest room is ready, you should come and stay with us for a weekend.
S: I'd be up for that!

米歇尔,你搬进新房了吗？
确切地说，我们是昨天刚刚搬进去的。
那么，你觉得新家怎么样？住进去高兴吗？
好极了！倒霉的是，为了把剩下的工作都做好我们还得花上一大笔钱。
这房子盖了有多久了？
大约有200年了。历史很悠久！
听起来真不错！你的新别墅在什么地方？
在环线的外面。
有大的庭院吗？
比我们以前住的那个要大。我在前院种了些花，后院种水果和蔬菜，还弄了鱼池。
采光好吧？
哦，是挺好的。我们的窗户可以让很多自然光照进来。而且还能看到我们别墅后面一个景色相当美的公园。
你们家一共有多少间屋子？
现在一共有：三间卧室，两间浴室，一个厨房，一间起居室，一个饭厅和一个客厅。我们还想再加一个花房和一间客房。实际上，客房准备好以后，你就可以来我们这儿度周末了。
我真期待这一天！
