本期节目话题背景

　　最近，有同学问了这样一道题“Describe the home of someone you know well and that you often visit”。聊到这个话题就不得不提到我姐姐买的一套公寓了，这是她和她的丈夫共同购买的一套房子，整套房约230平方米，有3间卧室和2个卫生间，离我家只有15分钟的步行路程，因此我几乎每个月都会去拜访她一次。这套公寓除了非常宽敞，姐姐对室内的设计也充满了美感，具体如何，咱们一起来聊一聊吧～
　　聊到这个话题时，大家别忘记说清楚这是谁的家，你多久去拜访一次，这个家是什么样子的，以及你对它的印象如何。

　　本期节目话题参考文本

　　My older sister, who is married to an accountant, lives in a large apartment which is quite elegant in my opinion. It is located in the southern part of London.
　　My sister and her husband bought this apartment 4 years ago and live there with their son and daughter. The apartment is on the 4th floor of a six-storied building in an affluent neighborhood. It’s only 15 minutes walking distance from my house. On average, I visit my niece, nephew and sister around twice a month.
　　The whole apartment is about 230 square meters and has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There’s a fairly big balcony as well and my sister has put several flower pots there which have enhanced the beauty of the whole apartment. Most of the furniture was bought from the most renowned and prestigious shops. My sister has an interior design diploma and she has put every effort into making her house look beautiful.
　　From a neutral point of view, I would say she’s a very talented interior designer as she’s been quite successful in making the inside of her own house look really impressive. The modern and sophisticated design of the furniture and the color scheme gives a rich impression to a guest who visits this apartment.
　　I really enjoy going to her flat because it’s comparatively spacious in contrast to the many other apartments I’ve visited. Furthermore, the flat exudes beauty and comfort. The rooms give complete privacy to the occupants as they are not adjacent to each other. For these reasons, I love this apartment.
