A Wonderful houses 

A1. Amy is reading articles about houses in a magazine. Here are two of the articles.

My name is Will. I am a manager of a computer company. This is my house in Beijing. There are two living rooms,a dining room and a kitchen on the ground floor. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. My son has a big bedroom and he always invites his friends to stay with him at the weekend. My favourite place is the living room. I can sit on the sofa and watch TV there. I need this after a hard day's work!

I am Jack. I am a fashion designer. I have many houses around the world,but I like the one in California best. The house is on the beach. I can see the sea from the house. I often sit and relax on the balcony. I also play with my dog there. In the evening,I take my dog for a walk on the beach. The house has a large garden. There are hundreds of beautiful flowers in it. I have a dining room,but I often eat in the garden. I can smell the flowers and hear the birds there.
