[00:00.760]--- Lesson 23 A new house [00:06.280]--- First listen and then answer the question. [00:12.080]--- Why is the new house special? [00:17.600]I had a letter from my sister yesterday. [00:21.680]She lives in Nigeria. [00:24.960]In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. [00:30.960]If she comes, she will get a surprise. [00:35.440]We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. [00:41.240]Work on it had begun before my sister left. [00:45.840]The house was completed five months ago. [00:50.640]In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. [00:56.160]The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. [01:02.440]It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. [01:08.840]It must be the only modern house in the district. [01:15.080]--- end
