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, it'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!
Steve: Hmm.
