Susan: Hey, Jim. What’s this?

Jim: It’s a drawing of a house, Susan.

Susan: What’s it for?

Jim: It’s for the Design Your Dream House Contest. This is my dream house.

Susan: Really? It looks small.

Jim: It is small. There’s only one bedroom.

Susan: One bedroom? What about a place for friends?

Jim: Hmm. That’s a problem. Well, there’s a sofa in the living room.

Susan: That’s good. Is this the bedroom? It’s long and narrow.

Jim: Yes, and it’s got one bed in it – my bed. And, of course, there’s a cupboard for my things.

Susan: I see. Is this the living room?

Jim: Yes.

Susan: It’s very big.

Jim: Well actually, it’s a dining room and a living room.

Susan: Where’s the sofa?

Jim: It’s right here. There’s also a table and there are two chairs. Oh, and there’s a plasma TV.

Susan: Wow! That’s great!

Jim: I know.

Susan: Is there a bathroom?

Jim: Of course there is. It’s small, but it’s got a toilet and a shower.

Susan: Hmm. Something is wrong with this house.

Jim: What? What’s wrong with it?

Susan: There isn’t a kitchen.

Jim: Of course there isn’t a kitchen. There’s no reason for a kitchen. My dream house is next to Joe’s Pizza Place. I can have pizza every day!

Dan: Mum?

Mum: Yes, Dan.

Dan: Where’s my clock? I can’t find it.

Mum: Your clock?

Dan: Yes, I need it to get up in the morning.

Mum: There was a big box in the kitchen. I think it’s in that box.

Dan: In the kitchen? Why’s it in the kitchen?

Mum: I don’t know. The moving company was terrible! Everything’s in the wrong place.
The microwave was in the living room! Who puts a microwave in the living room?

Dan: Well it’s a very modern microwave. It looks like a TV and TVs go in the living room ...

Mum: OK, but what does the dishwasher look like? That was in the dining room.

Dan: Really? The dishwasher was in the dining room? Actually, that’s a great idea. We can put the dirty plates in the dishwasher right after the meal. That’s much easier than taking them to the kitchen.

Mum: Very funny, Dan. Do you know where your father is?

Dan: Yes, he’s working in the bathroom.

Mum: Why’s he in the bathroom?

Dan: He’s cleaning the washing machine. There were hundreds of things on it so it’s very dirty.

Mum: Wait, the washing machine’s in the bathroom?

Dan: Er… yeah...

Mum: Oh, no! The washing machine goes in the kitchen. I’m really angry now.

Dan: So you don’t want to know about the curtains, then.

Mum: What about the curtains?

Dan: Nothing … it’s just …. they’re in the garden.

Mum: In the garden?

Dan: Yes. They’re in the garden … on the oven.

Mum: The oven’s in the garden, too? This is ridiculous!

Dan: Really? OK, so not spaghetti with tomato sauce… Oh, there’s steak.

Emily: Steak?

Dan: Yes, steak and chips. You like steak and chips.

Emily: Yes, I like steak and chips, but that’s a big meal. I don’t want a big lunch.

Dan: You don’t want a big lunch. So have eggs! You like eggs and that isn’t a big lunch.
