TRACK 7
G: Did I
you I went round to see Nick and Carol the
other day?
L: No, you
. How are they? I haven’t seen them for
.
G: Oh, they’re
. They said to say ‘hello’ to you. You
know they’ve
recently, don’t you?
L: Oh really? No, I
, actually. The last time I
from them they were still in that place near the
.
G: Oh, OK. Well, yeah, they’ve moved, um … I think it was
month. To be honest, they seem much
now.
L: Oh, that’s
. So what’s their new place like? Is it
?
G: Yeah, it is. It’s OK. It’s quite a lot
than their
old place. The
room is huge – it’s about twice the size of this room
– and the whole place is pretty
.
L: That must be nice for them now the
are growing up.
G: I know. They said the old place was getting a bit
for them all. They wanted separate
for the kids. They didn’t want
them
forever! That’s the main reason they moved
.
L: So what kind of place is it? I mean, is it a
or an
apartment?
G: Oh, it’s an
. It’s on the
floor of an old
block. It’s a little bit
and they’ll need to do quite a bit of
on it, but they’ve actually
it, so they can do what they
want to it.
L: Lucky them! All those
spent painting and
decorating to look forward to!
G: I know! I don’t
them! It has got real
,
though. It’s got a great
– it’s a similar size to yours, maybe a bit
bigger – and it’s got these lovely old wooden
throughout. And huge
, so they get a lot of
coming in, which is great. Then
there’s a little
where you can sit and eat in the
and a
shared
out the back where the kids can play, and everything.
L: Oh, it sounds
. I must go round and see them
sometime
.
G: Yeah, I’m sure they’d
that. The only problem is,
though, it’s not as
as their old place was. It’s quite a lot
out, so it takes quite a long time to get there.
L: Oh, OK.
