VOCABULARY AROUND THE HOUSE

Hai, kali ini topic kita adalah VOCABULARY AROUND THE HOUSE.

Rumahku idamanku. Mungkin itulah pepatah yang tepat buat ngambarin betapa rumah tu tempat perlindungan dan istirahat kita. Dirumah kita ngelakuin banyak hal dan banyak kenangan yang telah terjadi. Gak heran kalo ada rumah yang udah tua, tapi gak mau di rehap saking berharganya bentuk originalnya.

    d.    Horden

Dialogue

Here is a conversation between Mrs Smith (Joan) and husband Steve.

It's Saturday and Joan and Steve are decorating.
Joan	Steve, you missed a bit.
Steve	Where?
Joan	Here, on the wall just by the window, you can see a patch of white.
Steve	Oh yes, I see it. It's difficult in this light.
Joan	I know, well at least we have finished this room, only five more to go.
Steve	Are you sure you want to put wallpaper up in the lounge?
Joan	Yes, but don't worry, I'm really good at wallpapering. I just wish that John would decide on what he wants his room doing in.
Steve	I know, it's difficult when you're a boy. At least he's grown out of Star Wars, I keep thinking he'll ask for red and black or something equally gruesome.
Joan	Yes, but it is his room. I'm glad we decided not to move though. Maybe we should think about building an extension to the kitchen instead.
Steve	One thing at a time please! Lets get this decorating over and done with first.
Joan	Ha! Oh by the way you missed a bit by the door too!
Steve	Hmmm, thanks. Here's a brush.
