CARL: I think we should do the floors before we work on the curtains and walls. SUE: Why? It doesn’t make sense. If we do the floors first, and then paint the walls, we will get paint all over our new floor. CARL: Hmm. Maybe you’re right. But I can’t stand all this green carpet in here. And besides, I know how to paint. I will just cover everything with drop cloth. I won’t get anything on the floor. SUE: Are you sure? CARL: Yes, I’m sure. I’ve done a lot of house painting in my life. And my mother was very picky. If I got even a tiny drop of paint on her furniture, she would get furious. So I learned to be very careful. SUE: Alright. Then maybe we can do the floor first. These wood floors under this carpet are beautiful. And me too--I can’t wait to get all this old carpet out of here. But how can we get it out? Do we have to hire someone? CARL: Absolutely not. We can remove the carpet ourselves. Carpet is held down with carpet nails. You just need to pull it hard and it comes up. SUE: Great. Then, after we remove the carpet, we need to restain all the wood floors. Right? CARL: Yes. But we should hire someone for that. That will probably be expensive. And it has to be done right. SUE: And then, after the floors are done, we can start to move our furniture in. CARL: Sure. If we can get an appointment with someone to do the floors, we should probably be able to have the furniture in here after a week or so. I can get all the carpet out this weekend. SUE: So, after the floors are done, and after the furniture is in, we need to redo the curtains and paint all the walls and ceilings. CARL: I’m the painter. You can be in charge of going to curtain shops to choose curtains. That will probably be pretty expensive too. Having good curtains made isn’t cheap. SUE: You mean we can’t just buy curtains already made? CARL: Absolutely not. The windows must be measured, and then the curtains need to be made professionally. So that will take awhile. Maybe a month or so. SUE: While the curtains are being made, I can start having people look at the kitchen. I can’t stand that old kitchen. I won’t be able to cook in there. I don’t want to use that electric stove. CARL: We will need to find an interior decorating company do redo the kitchen. I believe in Portland there are shops that specialize in kitchen renovation. I will look in the Yellow Pages. I’d like a kitchen mostly in ivory and light green. SUE: I agree. The colors must be soft and pleasant. You should feel comfortable when you cook our dinners. CARL: Me? Cook our dinners? Hah! You will be cooking, dear. You will cook. SUE: No, I don’t think so. I’ll be too busy having tea in our new tea room. CARL: Well, I suppose we’ll have to hire a cook then. So you won’t be able to afford any clothes next year. SUE: And you’ll have to sell your motorcycle. And your cameras. Right? CARL: Maybe I’ll cook once or twice a week. How is that? SUE: Four times might be enough. Not once or twice.实践证明经常访问无忧英语教育网 www.51education.net ,能迅速提高你的英语学习能力!积沙成塔,不断提高! 本站所提供的所有信息仅供学校课堂教学及英语学习者学习研究之用，其著作权归原作者及媒体所有。 |
