Now Your Turn

Task 1

SAMPLE DIALOG

Pamela:  Still reading about how the bubble’s going to burst in the real estate market?

Simon:   Yeah, and this is an interesting article, though what it says may not be true.

         I think the market is going to be stable.

Pamela:  I agree. At present, the government’s policy seems to be stabilizing 1

property prices. But I don’t understand why some people spend so much money on real estate? What was behind this big rush to buy houses last year?

Simon:   Since the interest rates on bank savings 2 were quite low, and the stock market remained a bear market for a long time, it’s not surprising that investment in housing property rose.

Pamela:  Were there any other reasons for the race to buy houses last year?

Simon:   Yeah, a number of other reasons: Some buyers searched for status symbols, some wanted to live more comfortably, and still others expected further rises in property values.

Pamela:  Amazing. So many people earn enough to buy a large apartment or even two houses.

Simon:   Most of them don’t; they buy on credit.

Pamela:  The article says too much debt may burst the bubble.

Simon:   But I think the market will remain stable, at least in the near future.
