Dialogues
Yang is introducing John Brown¡¯s new house to Bill.
Yang: Have you heard about John Brown¡¯s new house?
Bill: What? I haven¡¯t heard about it. Tell me something about it.
Yang: All right. Yesterday, I got my invitation to the house warming party. They told me that they¡¯ve bought a new house in the suburbs. It¡¯s about half an hour from the city.
Bill: Have you seen the house?
Yang: Yes, I have. I went out with them last weekend. They had to measure the rooms.
Bill: What¡¯s it like?
Yang: It has four bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a big kitchen, and three bathrooms. There¡¯s a large garden and a garage, too.
Bill: That does sound nice. How do you like the house, Yang?
Yang: Well, everything looks fine except the three car garage.
Bill: Do you mean it¡¯s a little too large?
Yang: Too large? Not at all. They have five cars. There¡¯s not nearly enough room for them. They¡¯ve got to do something about that. À´Ô´£º¿¼ÊÔ´ó

Yang: They are moving today. I guess they¡¯ll have all the furniture in the house by tonight.
