SUPPLEMENTARY EXERCISES

Read the text. Would you like to have such an apartment as Peter's company has? Why? Why not?

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

On the way from the airport Peter explained to me that I wasn’t going to stay at a hotel. He said the company had rented a comfortable apartment for me. I asked him how much the rent was. He said it was a lot cheaper than pay in hotel bills, but I shouldn’t worry about that. Why not? Because the company would pay my rent and utility bills, so I wouldn’t be a real tenant. I wouldn’t even have to see my landlord. If there was any problem I was to contact the building superintendent.

We came to a tall building. Peter paid our fare. “This will be your American home”, he told me. Peter opened the door with a key and showed me into apartment 8c. He showed me where everything was. He said I could have something to eat and opened the refrigerator. It was full. I was not really hungry. But it was a hot day and I was thirsty. We made some sandwiches and opened a couple of bottles of beer.

I wasn’t feeling very well. Peter told me I looked tired. I said I was feeling tired. He said I’d have jet lag for a few days. He wished me good night and left. I was alone in my new American apartment.

MY APARTMENT

I woke up very early the next morning. I took a shower, made myself some sandwiches and a big cup of strong coffee and felt much better. I looked out of the window. My apartment was on the eighth floor. The street below was rather quiet.

The apartment itself was not large but very comfortable. There was a living room with a sofa, a comfortable armchair and a big colour TV. There was a bedroom with a king-size bed and another, portable TV. There was a kitchenette with some pots and pans and a lot of electric gadgets like toasters and mixers and even an electric can-opener.

The telephone rang. It was Richard. He said he would take me to the office and asked me to come down in ten minutes.
