set in the middle of the table that included a tall

silver tea pot with silver serving bowls for sugar

and cream on either side. Each guest was served

tea in white china cups that had gold rims and

gold handles. Then to add to the whole scene,

the scenes in the book that really stand out in my

Wrap-up

02 : 06

When a young person starts college or moves to

a new city for his or her rst job, it is common for him

or her to rent an apartment rather than buy a house.

For those who can’t a ord large apartments, there are

certain kinds of smaller apartments that are cheaper to

rent. ese small apartments may be called e ciency

apartments, studio apartments, or lo s.

An e ciency is usually an apartment that has only

one room. The person living in such an apartment

sleeps, cooks, and eats in the living room! For this

reason, most people who move into efficiency

apartments buy couches that can turn into beds. at

way, during the day they can sit on the couch to read

or watch TV. Then at night, he or she will turn the

couch into a bed and sleep on it.

By comparison, a studio apartment is usually

larger than an e ciency. However, a studio apartment

is still an apartment with only a single living space. In

addition to being larger, a studio may also have a be er

kitchen than a cheaper efficiency apartment. For

example, where an e ciency might have only a small

refrigerator with a sink and a small cooking range next

to it, a studio could include a stove under the cooking

range.

A loft can provide renters with the largest living

space of these three types of apartments. Originally,

lofts were empty floors above old warehouses that

people changed into living spaces. Artists liked living

in these kinds of places because the spaces were cheap

and there was plenty of room to be creative in such a

living space. Even in a very large lo , there are no walls

dividing up the living space. The only walls inside a

lo are usually found around the bathroom.
