--- First listen and then answer the question. |
[00:13.760] |
--- What is the writer's carpet made of? |
[00:19.240] |
We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. |
[00:27.600] |
I have been trying to get my new room in order. |
[00:32.040] |
This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. |
[00:38.160] |
To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. |
[00:47.160] |
At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. |
[00:58.320] |
A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. |
[01:06.880] |
She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. |
[01:14.800] |
'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. |
[01:20.040] |
She gazed at it for some time then added, |
[01:23.640] |
'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'^“ |
