[00:01.080]--- Lesson 52 A pretty carpet
[00:07.160]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:13.760]--- What is the writer's carpet made of?
[00:19.240]We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning.
[00:27.600]I have been trying to get my new room in order.
[00:32.040]This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.
[00:38.160]To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor.
[00:47.160]At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room.
[00:58.320]A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs.
[01:06.880]She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor.
[01:14.800]'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said.
[01:20.040]She gazed at it for some time then added,
[01:23.640]'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'^“
