Homes

Most homes in the West are houses.

Almost all Westerners have to get a mortgage to buy a home. There are also property taxes. Image courtesy of Stuart Miles at FreeDigitalPhotos.net

When a person buys a home they are already finished. The fixtures and appliances are already installed ( 已经装修好了 ). Image courtesy of Sira Anamwong at FreeDigitalPhotos.net

装修 -install fixtures and appliances (NOT decorate) Decorate is 布置 Image courtesy of stockimages at FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Many live in apartments. These are rented. Many people never buy a home in the West. Image courtesy of radnatt at FreeDigitalPhotos.net

A condo is an apartment that you own. Image courtesy of radnatt at FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Houses have a front yard. It takes a lot of time to take care of a yard.

Westerners will fix things that are broken. Many people learn how to do it or pay a lot of money for a worker.

In China the sofas are like this.

Or like this.

In the West couches are never wood. They are soft.

The kitchen-It’s not enclosed, there are no doors. Many have a kitchen island.

The refrigerators are very large.

The ovens are large because baking is common.

There are washing machines and dryers. It’s not common to hang laundry to dry outside.

What room is this?

It’s not a W.C. The bathrooms have showers with a shower curtain and maybe a bathtub.

All the beds are soft. Image by David Castillo Dominici at FreeDigitalPhotos.net

What is your ideal home? What kind of decorations? Where is it? How big is it? What kind of furniture?

Here is the problem. Come up with the solution. You want to buy a house but don’t have enough money. The grass is too tall. The electricity went out. The toilet won’t flush. You received the mortgage bill. The floor is dirty. It’s too hot inside the house. It’s too cold inside the house.
