國中英語基測出現過 a lot 的考題。
Andy: Sara, I’ve heard that you just moved into a new house.
Sara: Yes, finally. It took me a long time to decorate it.
Andy: What’s it like?
Sara: Well, I have a small garden in the front, a blue kitchen, a yellow living room, a green bedroom for John and me, and a purple bedroom for our children. We are also painting another room orange for people who come to visit us.
Andy: Wow, it sounds like a rainbow house. It must be a lot of fun to live in.
Sara: Yes, it’s our dream house. Hey. I’m planning a party next Saturday. Can you come?
Andy: I’d love to. But I have to check with Mary first.
Sara: Sure, just let me know before next Wednesday.
