020 你见过比尔盖茨的家吗?

 

 

Caley: Have you ever seen Bill Gates’ home on the internet?
Michelle: No. what's it like?
Caley: It's got its own library, theatre, swimming pool, and a guest house. The house itself has about ten different rooms that are all hooked up to computers so you can get things done in each room through a remote control. It's also located near the sea, so he can park his boats next to his house. It's absolutely amazing!
Michelle: Would you want to live there?
Caley: I think his house is fantastic, but I wouldn't want to live there. You would have to hire one or two people to clean all the rooms in the house, plus a few people to take care of the gardens, and probably an au pair or two to take care of the children. It's just too big of a place to take care of on your own.
Michelle: What's your dreamhome like then?
Caley: My dream home is actually just a samll cottage in a quite village in

England.
Michelle: would you want to buy an old cottage or build a new one yourself?
Caley: Old homes are great because they've got character. I think that's important.
Michelle: it that why you wear second-hand cloths as well? Because they've got character?
Caley: No, that's just because I don't have enough money to buy new cloths all the time!
Michelle: I see. If you lived in an old house, would it be decorated in a modern way?
Caley: No, I'd definitely try to restore it to its original state. I love to imagine what it'd be like to live in another time in history and living in a house decorated like it would have been 200 years ago would be a great way to feed my imagination even more!
