AN UNUSUAL HOME
A I’m Tim Theakstone and I live in a very unusual
home in the UK. Most of my house is under the
ground. The house isn’t very big. It’s got a small
kitchen at the front and next to that is a living
room, with two comfortable sofas. At the back of the
house are the bathroom and the bedroom.
B I live here with my wife, Jenny. She’s in the
kitchen at the moment. I usually do the cooking,
but Jenny’s cooking today because I’m writing this
blog.
C One good thing about being underground is that
the house is naturally warm. It uses solar energy to
heat water, and that works well. I also love the
house because it’s really beautiful. Friends love to
visit us!
D Of course, not everything is perfect. The house is
quite dark because there are only three windows at
the front of the house. We’ve got a lot of lamps!

2 Where is the house? ______
