Rose5: Last year we 3. (had / were able) to give up our house and move into this flat. I miss my garden terribly – afternoon tea there, barbecues with friends, quiet evenings outside, birds' songs.

Jess: We live in a village and have a five-bedroom house with a garden and a view overlooking a cricket pitch. We've got lots of space and it's fantastic. Currently, I'm working from home but I 4.

Fred: The best thing about a house is that it offers more space and more privacy. You 10. (mustn't / don't have) to put up with noisy and nosy neighbours.

Molly: I hate the fact that the flat is six floors up. The only advantage of living there is you get exercise that keeps you fit whether you like it or not.
