M: have you ever thought about your ideal home?

C: I have, actually; I’ve always wanted to build my dream home myself.

M: what would it be like?

C: well, it would be spacious and located next to a park, because a nice view is important to me.

M: how many rooms would it have?

C: I’d want it to have three bedrooms on a second floor with balconies on each, and one main bedroom on the main floor with an attached en suite. I’d also want a large living room and kitchen connected to each other so that there would be one large open space for people to spend time with each other.

M: how many bedrooms would your dream home have?

C: I’d have one guest bathroom in the basement, one attached to the main bedroom, and one upstairs, so a total of three.

M: how would you decorate your house?

C: I don’t like a lot of clutter, so I wouldn’t have lots of things out. I would have a few vases on the mantel piece and some pictures of my family on the walls, but other than that, most things would be kept in closets.

M: how many TVs would your dream home have?

C: I think TV is a great waste of time, so I would only have one small TV in the kitchen to watch the news in the morning.

你有没有想过你梦想中的家是什么样子的?

实际上我还真没想过，我一直希望能亲自建造我的梦想家园。

会是什么样子的呢?

嗯，它应该非常宽敞，而且紧挨着公园。因为漂亮的景致对我非常重要。

会有几间房子呢?

我想最好在楼上有三个卧室，每间都带有阳台。主层的主卧室要内设一套卫生间。我还想有一间大的客厅和厨房相连，这样可以有一个很大的开放式空间让人们待在一起。

你梦想中的家会有几间浴室?

一间客人用的浴室在地下室，一间要含在主卧室里面，还有一间在楼上。这样总共是3间。

你想怎么装修房子?

我不想有太多东西弄的乱糟糟的，所以不会做太多装饰。只是想在壁炉上摆几个花瓶，在墙上挂几张我们家的合影照片。但是除了这些，大部分东西都要房子柜子里。

打算放几台电视?

我觉得看电视是浪费时间，所以顶多在厨房里放一台小电视，早上看看新闻就行了.
