Certainly. I suppose it all started about 5 years

asked
some
of
my
teachers
if
they
would
come
to
my
house
instead,and
most
of
them
was
more
expensive

SECTION B
PASSAGES
Questions 11 to 13 are based
on the following passage.
This is a
the foreground there's a house built into the side
of a
bare house is actually cut out of
the rock,and the front is painted
's a
single window with a pink curtain across it and a
wooden
rock
house
is
clearly
inhabited
because
in
front
of
the
house
there
is washing hanging on a washing line in what looks
like the front
,
above
the
painted
front
of
the
house,they've
built
a
's quite possible that at
the back of this same hill there's another
door---or the front of another house,
the side of the house,to
the left
there's a flat 've got chairs there and one person
appears
to be serving 're wearing
casual summer r to the
left is another
chimney,which probably belongs to a different the
background of the picture,a long way
from this particular bare hill,there's
another , in between there's a
relatively flat plain,and then there's
a small looks like a town because
there are a lot of white house
and
each
one
is
quite
close
to
the
next
must
be
a
hot
country because the sky
is blue and there isn't much vegetation.I should
think that rock houses are actually
really cool and pleasant to live in.
