1 Read the text. Then tick (✓) the sentences T (true), F (false) or DS (doesn’t say). (10 points)
Imagine this: Mr Everingham is watering the plants in the garden and his son is kicking a
football under the trees. Mrs Everingham is cooking dinner in the kitchen. She can see the
family outside. But when she goes to bed at night, she sees a different part of the garden from
the kitchen window, and when she gets up in the morning, the vista is different again!
The Everingham family lives in a house in New South Wales in Australia. Their home has got
three bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a big living room. So what makes their house
different from other houses? It’s circular and it rotates!
There is a special computer to control the movement of the house. On a cold day the house
moves, so the light from the sun comes in the windows. When it’s very hot in the summer, the
house rotates away from the sun. A day in the Everingham house is never boring.

There are 181 rooms in the enormous house and

bedrooms, halls and kitchens. Many tourists are
visiting today and people are working here, too.
They’re watering the plants in the garden and
cooking meals for visitors at the three
