阅读理解My cousin, John, is a university student. Last year he went to Italy and stayed there for two months. I was surprised that John was able to have such a long holiday because he never has any money.

“How did you manage it, John” I asked. “I thought you were going to stay for two weeks,”

“It was easy,” John answered. “I got a job.”

“A job!” I exclaimed. “What did you do？”

“I gave English lessons to a grocer,” John answered. “His name is Luigi. We have become great friends.”

“But you’re not a teacher,” I said.

“I told Luigi I couldn’t teach,” John explained. “But he insisted on having conversation lessons. He wanted to practice his English. He has a lot of American customers, so it is important for him to speak English. I spent three hours a day talking to him. In return he gave me a room, three meals a day and a little pocket money.”

“Did your pupil learn much English？” I asked.

“I don’t know,” John said. “But I learned a lot of Italian!”

His daughter June, and her husband, Pete, on the other hand, have to do everything themselves or find builders to do it. They live in a large semi-detached house further out from the center of London than John, but they are still near enough to see him often. They live in the suburbs with a nice garden when their children play. They moved there four years ago to have more space.

When they bought the house, a lot needed doing to it and 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.
