SOME CULTURE: HOUSES IN THE UK

Click on the photo to read more about houses in the UK.

PRACTISE LISTENING: THE HOUSE


This is a link to La Mansión del Inglés, a website where you can practise grammar, vocabulary, listening, etc.(Click on the Big Ben)

Today listen to different people talk about their houses. The listenings are on the left column (NIVEL BÁSICO): Craig's house, Terry's house, etc. Open the audio file in a new window and read the questions at the same time.

There's some vocabulary and grammar you don't have to learn, but it's good if you use a dictionary and learn new words, for example "villa" (=a house usually in the countryside or near the sea. People often rent it for a holiday.)
