Unit 7 Houses (EXTRA MATERIAL)

This is one of the most famous buildings in Prague. Originally named Fred (Astaire) and Ginger (Rogers) for its resemblance to a couple dancing, it was soon nicknamed the dancing house. In the beautifully-preserved Praguian architecture, the ultra modern design of the building was quite controversial and there were voices that named it the drunk house.

What do you think about it? Do you prefer traditional or modern styles?

Now watch these videos where two houses are displayed. Then describe the houses and finally explain what the best house for you would be and why. I vote for the latter, but I wouldn't mind living in the former.

Feel you need more vocabulary? Then try these activities, but attention, it's an American webpage and there are some differences (the pronunciation of vase, faucet instead of tap and sink instead of washbasin).

It's time for you to do some listening activities I've found about houses. When you finish doing the activities, use your own words to describe the place where you live (the area, neighbours, the house type, furniture, etc.).
