AN UNUSUAL HOME
A I’m Tim Theakstone and I live in a very unusual
home. 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. There’s also a
bathroom and a 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 The house is very warm because it’s
underground. Solar energy heats the water. It works
very well. There’s always hot water for a shower. The
only bad thing about living in this house is that it’s
quite dark, so we have a lot of lamps!
