We live in a house in Aurignac, a small village in the South of France. Food is

Read the text. Which of the homes is it about?
Before Paula and Gary moved into their new home, they
lived in a normal house.
They liked their old house but they both wanted to live somewhere more interest-
ing. So they started to look for a new home.
They were looking for a new place, when Tim, Gary’s dad, had an idea. Tim had
his own lorry business and he
was selling one of his lorries. Paula and Gary could
buy it and make it into their new home! Gary and Paula thought this was a great
idea too and bought it.
Gary was building everything for their new home while Paula was working. He
built cupboards, a ta
ble and he even built
the bed.
They didn’t see each other
much! But a year ago, Gary finished the work on the lorry and they moved into it.
Gary and Paula love their new placeA There’s no place like homeA

look for silver and gold. They built small mining towns everywhere in the area.
Calico was once a busy silver mining town with 500 silver mines. It had
a popula-
tion of 1,200 people, and there were shops, hotels, cafes, a church, and a school.
17
When the silver rush ended at the start of the 20
th
century, everybody left Calico,
and today nobody lives there!

Ex. 33 Read the texts and fill the table.
I live in London in a warehouse flat. I love it. It’s got much more character
than most modern flats. It’s on the top floor of a converted 19
th
century tea ware-
house, and it’s basically one large room with very high white walls and an enor-
mous wooden floor. The living room area is really light and spacious. There’s only
one bedroom, which is on a balcony above the living area. Leading off this is
a
fantastic bathroom which is really luxurious. The
kitchen’s under the balcony.
It’s very futuristic’

all stainless steel and natural location to live in too, within
easy walking distance of restaurants, bars shops, and the tube. The only problem
is it
’s very expensive to live here and I have to work hard to pay for it.
I live in Essex with my parents, my sister, and our two dogs in a windmill!
It’s really old, late 18
th
century, I think. We moved here because my parents
wanted to leave London
and live in the country. The great thing about it is that all
the rooms are round, which
it seem really different from most other houses, and
the ceilings are quite low, which
going up and down stairs all t
he time. The kitchen is on the first floor, it’s old
-
fashioned but we like it and we spend most of our time there. The living room is
on the second floor. It’s got old phot
os of the windmill on the walls. There are four
bedrooms on the top two floors

min
e’s on the top floor

and three bathrooms.
We’ve got a lovely large garden. It’s a nice house
but it is a long way from town
, so
I always need a lift when I go out.
My house is
a narrow boat, moored just outside Leeds. It’s 25 year old and
so all the rooms are much smaller
than a normal house. It’s fine for me though. I bought the boat after leaving uni-
versity because I couldn’t afford a
house. Inside there’s a very cosy living room
and a well
-
equipped kitchen area. There are also two small bedrooms and a
shower’s room. In summer, if I want to sit outside, there is space for a table and

chairs on the open deck. The engine does a maximum of
10km/hour. Travelling
along the canal really suit me. I think that people who live on the water are
friendlier. But the maintenance costs are quite high, with servicing the engine
and repainting the boat every year.

That sounds nice. Where is it?

It’s in Old Town.
-
That’s nice. And how much is
it?

£500 per month I’m afraid.

Ooh. That’s too much.

Yes, it sounds a bit expensive. How about this one in New Town?

bed because there isn’t a separate bedroom. Is that

Yes. What do you think?

I’d rather have a separate bedroom really.

Yes. OK. Let’s have

Yeah. But it’s in an excellent location. And listen to this: lounge, dining room,

only £350 per month.

But , of course, it’s sharing. It sounds nice and it’s much cheaper than the
others, but I really don’t want to share.

Is there a bright new star in the
night sky? It’s easy to make that
mistake. It is not a star, it is Al-
pha, the International Space
Sta-
tion. Alpha orbits 386 km above
and women who work on it. Angela
Downing answer readers’ questions
about this new home in the sky.
A
_______
Alpha is the size of three big houses. It has got a living area with
sleeping com-
partments, a toilet and a kitchen with a fridge and an oven. There isn’t a TV and
the astronauts can’t make phone calls but the space station has got a radio. The
astronauts use this to talk to their friends and families on Earth. Alpha has als
o
got scientific laboratories and fifty
-
two, computers!
B
______
Up to eight astronauts can live on Alpha. There is no gravity, of course, so life
isn’t the same as it is on Earth. The astronauts usually sleep eight hours every
night, not in beds but in
special sleeping bags fixed to the walls.
Also, the crew
members can’t have a shower in weightless conditions, so they wash with wet
cloths. Once a day, they ride an exercise bike for 30 minutes to keep fit.
They have meals in the kitchen and t
hey eat
normal food, but they don’t use salt
and pepper because it flies awayA The astronauts don’t have make decisions
about what to eat because they choose their food months before the trip and a
computer tells them their menu for every meal.
D
______
In the station they wear T
-
shirts and trousers or shorts. But they don’t need
shoes because they don’t walk
-
they float! When they go outside the station,
they wear special space suit with enough oxygen for eight hours.
E
________
C
______
A home in space
29
Astronauts on Alpha
are very busy. They check the scientific experiments in the
outside the station. And every day, one of the crew does the housework; it is very
important to keep the station cl
ean!
F
_______
Alpha uses solar power and recycles air and water but it doesn’t produce food for
the astronauts. This year, the space shuttle has brought food from Earth three
times. There have been serious problems with the shuttle, though.
G
________
You can find out to see Alpha in your area at NASA’s website:
www.nasa.gov
. the
site also tells you about the shuttle’s position. Sometimes you can see Alpha and
the shuttle at the same time!
