UNIT 2 LESSON 06: MY DREAM HOME

Let’s imagine your perfect home!

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM HOME LIKE?

Imagine that you can design your perfect home.

Where is it?
How many rooms has it got?
What is your favourite room?
What things are inside?

Maybe your dream home has:

• a big garden 🌳
• a swimming pool 🏊
• a large kitchen 🍳
• a cosy bedroom 🛏️
• a games room 🎮
• a balcony 🌅
• a garage 🚗

Examples:

My dream home is big and bright.
It has got four bedrooms.
There is a swimming pool in the garden.
There are two bathrooms upstairs.

ROOMS & SPACES

Let’s think about the different places in your dream home.

Room or space	Things you can find there
bedroom	bed, wardrobe, desk, lamp
living room	sofa, TV, armchair, rug
kitchen	fridge, cooker, oven, table
bathroom	shower, bath, toilet, sink
dining room	table, chairs
garden	trees, flowers, swimming pool
garage	car, bike
balcony	chairs, table, plants

💡 Think big! Your dream home can have spaces that you don’t have at home.

THERE IS & THERE ARE

Let’s use there is and there are to describe your dream home.

One thing

There is a big sofa in the living room.
There is a swimming pool in the garden.
There is a desk in my bedroom.

Two or more things

There are three bedrooms upstairs.
There are two armchairs in the living room.
There are some plants on the balcony.

💡 Easy trick

One thing → There is
Two or more things → There are

There is a pool. 🏊
There are two bedrooms. 🛏️🛏️

WHAT HAS YOUR DREAM HOME GOT?

We can also use have got and has got to describe our dream home.

My dream home has got five bedrooms.
It has got a big kitchen.
It has got a beautiful garden.

We can talk about our own things too:

I’ve got a big bedroom.
I’ve got a desk next to the window.
I’ve got a comfortable bed.

Compare

My dream home has got a swimming pool.
There is a swimming pool in the garden.

Both sentences describe the same idea, but they use different structures.

MY DREAM HOME

My dream home is a large house near the sea. It has got four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a big kitchen and a comfortable living room.

My favourite room is my bedroom. It has got a big bed, a desk and a bookshelf. There is a large window next to my bed.

Outside, there is a beautiful garden with lots of flowers. There is also a swimming pool and a small football pitch.
