Maya: Wow, have a look at this building. It is very tall, with many floors, usually designed for office, commercial and residential use.
Luke: I like these large surface areas of windows.
Anna: Uf, I wouldn’t live here, I don’t like high-rise buildings. I prefer a house like this one. It is a single house, used only by one family, sometimes with one or two levels.
Luke: Oh, I live in a similar house, but there is one difference. Our house shares a wall on one side with another house. (smiling) I sometimes hear what is going on in our neighbour’s house ...
Maya: Oh, Luke. Are you ears dropping?
Luke: Of course not. I just hear things. That’s all. Look at this one. It is used as a residence. My cousin lives in such a building. It contains mostly homes and is used only as a place to live. There are no stores here.
Alexander: My family lives in a building as this one; with lots of flats. I’ve heard that a ′flat′ is more British than an ′apartment′, which is more American. In most towns around here, there are streets of houses joined together in long rows. They are called terraced houses.
Luke: Thanks for your explanation, Mr. Clever. I’m thirsty now. Is there some more juice left in your Nana’s kitchen?
