A：Jack, what are you doing?

B：I am reading.

A：I can see that. But why are you reading advertisements for houses for sale? Are you buying a house?

B：No, not yet. But I like to see what is available.

A：Can I have a look as well?

B：Of course, have a seat.

A：Oh, this one looks really good. And look at the garden. So beautiful.

B：Yes, nice. But I prefer this wooden house with a garden fence and a sloping roof.

A：Yes, but my house has large windows and so gets lots of sun. And it has a small balcony at the top.

B：Well, you can't compare a small balcony to this large veranda. This is perfect for having a barbecue in summer.

A：Talking about a barbecue, didn't you say you are organizing one next week?

B：Yes, next Saturday. I hope you can make it.
