- They visit a shop and talk with a shop assistant about their tastes and preference.
- Can I help you?
- What is it you two are looking for?
- Furniture for the bed room,the kitchen or the living room?
- We are looking for a few things,but we aren't very sure yet.
- We bought a new flat and we already have some furniture.
- But the new house is so big.
- We can use a few more things and perhaps replace some very old pieces.
- I think we need a kitchen table.
- One that is large enough to have dinner with five or six people.
- Very well.
- If you would like something modern,
- I suggest you think of something like this:
- The legs of the table are silver coloured,
- while the table top is made of thick glass.
- Very beautiful and very easy to clean.
- Yes,I really like that.
- No,I don't like such cold and hard things.
- I think a table made of wood would look much nicer.
- Wood is warm and makes you feel comfortable.
- Honey,I know you like that.
- But I'm afraid it'll be too expensive.
- That's no problem,
- I can show you some really nice modern tables
- that look as if they were made of wood.
- Great!We are also looking for something on the wall.
- There is a big piece of white wall over the sofa.
- Were you thinking of the painting or perhaps the poster or something?
- Yes,could you show us something?
- Something classical?
- Oh,no.You can show us something modern.
- I like classical things in the kitchen and the bedroom.
- But our living room is quite modern,isn't it,Danny?
- By the way,we are also still looking for two comfortable chairs.
- Something modern and classic at the same time.
- Would you have anything like that?
- Oh,dear,oh,dear,what do you mean by that?
- Well,something classic and fine but also cool,you know?

- The history of architecture in China
- and most European countries is very different.
- As a result,the way people looked at art and architecture
- has also developed a long different lines.
- Much of China's ancient architecture was constructed of wood.
- Only the Great Wall and city walls were made of large bricks.
- Earthquakes have occurred quite often in Chinese history.
- Besides that,many temples were destroyed by fire.
- Sometimes the fires was caused by accident,However,it also happened,
- that emperors would destroy temples and architecture that were built in the past.
- They wanted to get rid of all the architecture
- that reminded people of the former emperor.
- After burning the old temples and palaces,
- the emperor would have everything built new,in the style that he preferred.
- That's why all the China
- we find many temples that were rebuilt or restored about 250
- to 300 years ago during the age of Qianlong.
- Few temples are left over from earlier times.
- Much of Europe's ancient architecture is 300 to 1,000 years old.
- Architects used natural materials,such as stone and brick,
- to construct their buildings.
- There weren't many earthquakes,and unlike China,European kings,
- would usually not burn the churches and other architecture built before their time.
- They constructed the new buildings in the style of they preferred at other places.
- Wood is not a very strong material,
- were the conditions make repairs necessary,and by the end of about 100 years
- usually every part of a wooden construction has been replaced.
- So,although the design can be hundreds of years old,
- every part of the building may has been made less than 100 years ago.
- Stone and brick,are strong enough to stand the test of time.
- This materials do not need to be replaced.
- So,when looking at old buildings in Europe.
- We're actually looking at what was built many centuries ago.
- While in China,the architecture may be old,
- what we look at is in fact quite new.
