介绍:
Today we're going to talk about houses...
And learn a LOT of new adjectives.

Word Power
This is cramped...
Does "cramped" mean something positive or negative?
We often talk about apartments this way...
"My apartment is too cramped. I have too much stuff!"
Dingy ...
It means something like "dirty and old"
So it is definitely a negative word.
"I bought a dingy old apartment. I need to remodel it."
How about expensive... is that positive or negative?
I think expensive has good sides and bad sides...
Maybe it's higher quality than the normal apartment?
Maybe ...
Shabby...
Is spacious a positive or negative word?
Shabby means, "破旧的"
Can you tell me 2 positive things and 2 negative things about your apartment?
My apartment is spacious and very convenient. However, it is a little shabby and not very quiet.
Here are the adjectives that we're studying now...
It's best if you make a connection between the sentences...
Use "but" or "however" or "though"
My apartment is bright and comfortable, but it's in a noisy neighborhood.
My apartment is cramped and dark, but it's safe and quiet.
My apartment is a little small, but it's very quiet and modern.
Would you prefer to live in an apartment or a house?
I prefer to live in houses, because they're safer and more quiet.
Sometimes I don't want to do housework, so apartments are better.
Good answers so far
