答案Your home I live in a three-bedroom house on the outskirts of this city. I live with my wife, who is 32 and our two kids—an eight year-old boy and a five year-old girl. Actually, it does. There was a storm here last week and it blew some of the tiles off our roof. It doesn’t matter too much now, but I should get it repaired before winter. Our garden fence is also in poor condition and I’m going to deal with that myself tomorrow. Not permanently. We are very happy where we are. There are good schools nearby and shopping and transport are excellent. I’m planning to go abroad on a short course, so, in that case, I’ll be living away from home temporarily. Clothes I wouldn’t say that I like it, but I don’t mind shopping for clothes once every two or three months. My wife likes it—she goes far more often than I do. She usually window shops though. She doesn’t buy new clothes every time she goes. It depends on the situation. If I’m attending an important meeting or going to a formal party, I like to dress in a formal suit. Otherwise, you know, at home or when I go out with my family or friends, I prefer wearing casual clothes, like jeans and a polo shirt. No. I really don’t follow fashion. My wife does, a little. The problem with fashion is that it changes so quickly and it can prove very expensive! My friends don’t follow fashion either, so there’s no kind of "competition" between us to see who is wearing the latest style. Blue. I have blue jeans, two dark blue suits and several blue shirts of varying shades, from light to dark. It’s my favourite colour. Actually, it’s my wife’s favourite colour too! She has a few very nice blue dresses, skirts and blouses. Our son has decided that he likes black. Our daughter hasn’t shown any preference yet! Parks and public gardens There’s a park very close to our home and another perhaps 20 or 25 minutes walk away. Both of them have plenty of space for kids to run around or play team sports like football and cricket. Our son goes to the nearest park with his friends almost every day for a kick-around. We take our daughter to the park a few times a week, but we don’t let her go alone because she’s only five. Only when I go with my kids. When I was a kid, I also went to the local park virtually every day to play football with my mates. One thing is different though. When I was a kid, people would let their dogs run around the park, but nowadays people keep their dogs on leads. I think people are nervous about the possibility, of a dog biting a child. Two or three times a week, I guess. Oh, there’s also a botanical garden in the city centre and we go there perhaps twice a year. When I go with my kids, they usually want to have fun with their friends, so I just sit down on a bench and read a book or chat to any other parents who happen to be there. In summer, it’s very pleasant just to sit and read for a while. Occasionally, I or one of the other parents has to be referee for a football match between two groups of boys.
