New neighbours
It's Saturday morning and something is happening next door. Joan Steve, what's all that noise
outside? Steve: Just a minute, I'll have a look. Oh! It looks as if the new next door neighbours
are moving in Joan Oh i's a bit early, isn't it? Ah well I guess we'd better get up. Steve: It's
amazing how quickly the houses are selling round here, the Browns only put it on the market a
month
ago.
Joan Where did they move to? Steve: I think he told me they were buying a
detached house in Surbiton Joan Sounds nice. I hope the new neighbours are nice. Steve
Well, I was speaking with Mr Brown last week. He told me they were a young couple with two
daughters. They liked the house because it was near a good school Joan Two daughters! That
will please John Steve: Ha! Maybe we'd better pop next door and say hello. Joan Yes, and
maybe we'd better start thinking of selling too. I'd like a detached house in Surbiton as well!
