John Preston lives in a flat in north London.He moved there after his wife died four years ago to be closer to his daughter’s family, and because his big detached house and garden were too much work for him as he got older.It' s easier in the flat because the letting agent does everything that needs doing.The agent has had the roof repaired and got the gutter replaced.but at the moment John is not satisfied because the window frames need painting and the garden looks neglected.The agent
had the windows painted two years ago, but the painters didn’t do it very well, so they need doing again.John pays over E 1,500 a year for service and maintenance, and he thinks that it's not good enough because the flats look shabby and a lot of things need repairing
His daughter, June, and her husband.Peter, on the other hand, have to do everything themselves or find builders to do it.They live in a large seai-detached house further out from the center of London than John but they are still near enough to see hin often.They live in the suburbs with a nice garden where their children play.They noved there four years ago to have aore space.The only drawback is that June s husband has to commute into the centre of London every day, but, overall they are happy with their decision.When they bought the house a lot needed doing to it and it still does.June says, We have a list of things to do as long as your arm- the roof needs repairing and the chimney needs mending.The bedrooms need decorating and we haven t had the broken windowpanes replaced yet in the conservatory.we need to fix the gate and repair the path- it looks dreadful when you arrive.”(判断正误)
