M:Hi,it’s a long time since we met last time.Have you thought of moving at all,Sarah?

W:We’ve thought about it,but my husband and I can’t afford it right now.

M:Buying a house can be expensive,but there are ways to find cheaper houses.

W:Like what?

M:Well.You can buy a house far away from the city center.You would definitely save money by doing it that way.

W:That’s a good idea.

M:Sure,my sister-in-law and her husband just bought a house that way. They’re pretty satisfied with it.

W:Is the house pretty broken?

M:Not at all.The woman who owned it took good care of it.But when she died,she had no family left and no will,so the government had to sell it for her.

W:Was it a very old house?

M:It was about 75 years old.There were a few repairs that needed doing,but it didn’t take a lot of money or time.

W:Is it in a good location?

M:The area can be a bit rough in the evening,but the neighbors watch out for each other,so it’s OK.

　　Nowadays there are so many animals out there making people in real life happier.The dog is the best example.Many people believe the dog is man’s best friend.This is very true.They will do anything their masters ask them to do and they do their duty very well.They don’t just entertain us,however,sometimes dogs could actually help their owners do some work.But our dog,Rex,is another story.He used to sit outside our front gate and bark.Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate.As the neighbors complained of the noise,my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the handle to let himself in.Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate.However,when I was going out shopping last week,I noticed him in the garden near the gate.This time he was barking so that someone would let him out! Since then,he has developed another bad habit.As soon as he opens the gate from the outside,he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out.After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed that we have not seen him since.
