2 Home sweet home 2 Read the following text about Sarah s home. Hello, my name s Sarah. I m American, but I live in England with my husband and son. We lived in a small flat in downtown London but we didn t like it. The city was busy and terribly expensive. Last month, we moved house and we now live in a three-storey house in the country. Our home is not very close to the city centre. It takes about an hour by car, but I enjoy living in the country because it is so quiet and we have friendly neighbours. We really like our new home. There are three bedrooms, one large bathroom and a large living room with four windows. There is also a guest room. We normally have our evening meals in the dining room because the kitchen is small. There is no balcony on the second floor*, but that s ok. We always eat a big breakfast outside on the patio when it is nice outside. All in all, we feel at home. *Culture note: the second floor in America = the first floor in Europe True or false? Mark T for True or F for False. If you mark False, make the statement true.
