Evidence: The tiny house movement

Fuente: SENA

In this evidence, you have to go online and find information about the tiny house
movement. What is it about? What are the advantages and disadvantages it
has? How does it relate to furniture and appliances? Based on the information
you gather, you should record a video expressing your opinion about it. Does it
sound like a movement you would like to be part of or your lifestyle would make
it difficult for you to embrace it?

In your video you should include at least seven (7) idiomatic expressions and
fifteen (15) phrasal verbs.

When you finish your work, send the file to your instructor
Yes, I have known that now the idea of a mini home is becoming a trend everywhere, then
now with this, people are keeping away the idea of getting a normal-sized one or an
apartment. Notwithstanding that the price around one of these households is bigger than
a common and current house, we've many real estate sellers taking advantage of the non-
connoisseurs of the subject; so when they get along, that rats fly at those poor innocent
using the “bait and switch” method.

On some occasions, try to see about how the chairs and armchairs would come in is
difficult for me; mobility around the room, hahaha, I imagine it shouldn't be a piece of
cake. I hope and aspire not to have to go to one of those ever, the simple fact of having to
move from the entrance to a room is driving me up the wall.

The kitchen could be an ideal scenario for realities such as Iron Chef or Listen To the
Chef, you must only take to this reduced space 3 persons maximum with you and it
already becomes quite an odyssey to serve yourself a glass of water. Those shown with
wheels on the sides are practical, at the time you choose you can stop by a river and
build a good “Pot Ride” (paseo de olla) with your family, all without worrying about of draw
away by your own hand the comfort of your home like someone pouring water into the
sea; including, not count up how much you should pay for every need during the ride
killing two birds with one stone.

Personally, i prefer stay out of this awkward environment, if someone thinks it's a good
idea to go and shut in itself there, well, i will not go through with that knucklehead and
suffer each sunday cleaning a ridiculous tiny place like this. I’m gonna fight on for my
own normal-size house, attempting to give back all the investments placed by my family,
in order to have a dream unable to die out here in Colombia; don't forget that regardless
of your plans; always the actions speak louder than words.

I hope you read my little summary and everyone has a good material to find out your own
point of view regarding this particular issue, for as long as possible I’ll consider it as a pain
in my ass; but of course, like all fashions in the world, it’s in constant discussion with
various pros n’ cons.
