Lesson 5

Dream House

Owning a house is not merely buying and living in one. A bigger and

a lifetime commitment involves maintenance and proper housekeeping. The

house must be furnished and decorated to fit one’s comfort and needs. The

furniture and appliances must be properly used and serviced. A house also

heeds a periodic maintenance of its parts and the installations in it. The roof

and walls must be painted to protect against the elements and rusty wires

must be changed to avoid further damage.
