Ex. III Read and translate the following conversation.

Mrs Godley is showing Mr Bellamy round her garden.

Mrs Godley: That’s a lovely rose, ‘isn’t it?

Bellamy: Yes, it certainly is.—And look at that yellow one. Isn’t that

magnificent?

Mrs Godley: Well, as a matter of fact I’m not very keen on yellow roses.—Do

you have a garden Mr Bellamy?

Bellamy: No, I’m afraid not. I live in a flat you know.

Mrs Godley: I suppose it’s very convenient living in a flat.

Bellamy: Yes, I suppose so, but I often think I’d rather like to live in a

country cottage with a nice little garden.

Mrs Godley: Country cottages can be very cold in winter.

Bellamy: Oh, I don’t know. Surely you can fit some sort of central-

heating system pretty cheaply nowadays.

Mrs Godley: I doubt it. A friend of mine bought a cottage last year, and

had to spend over three hundred pounds putting in central

heating—and the place is still like a refrigerator in winter.
