Speak 1 :( Housewife in her thirties) I live in a two-bed roomed flat near Camden Station in North London. It’s on the second floor and is quite old. Built about 120 years ago, I think. Moved there five years ago and live there with my husband, John and our two sons, Jim who's three and Toby who's one-and-a-half. There’s a small back garden which is nice but which we don't often use. It’s got a large kitchen but a small bathroom and the second bedroom. In the sitting room, there’s a lovely big fireplace where we relax in the autumn and winter. The only thing we don't like about the flat is the noise from all the traffic.
Speaker 2 :( 55-year-old man) We live in the middle of Devon, a beautiful part of the English countryside in the South-West, in the West Country. We live in a lovely thatched cottage....you know....with a straw roof. We moved there 16 years ago, but it was built about 350 years ago. It’s got two large bedrooms and one similar bedroom, a sitting room and a dining room next to the kitchen. And under the stairs is my favorite room, my study. There is a front and a back garden which are both small but very beautiful with lots of flowers; roses mostly. Although our daughter now lives in London where she goes to university, I live there with Helen, my wife, and our son who is still at college.
Speaker 3 :( Elderly woman) I live in a bungalow in a small town near Bath. It’s eight years old and has got a small back garden where I often spend my time gardening or reading. There’s only one bedroom, a small lounge and a dining room. The kitchen is also quite small, but easy for me to keep clean. I live with my five cats and three dogs.
