Unit 2. Using online dictionaries

Homework:
1.Look for an article related to your field of expertise.

Why do I need an Interior Designer?
2.Post it to your blog. Make sure to add the link where you got it from.

http://www.adriennechinn.co.uk/article1.htm

3.Select two paragraphs from your article.
The bedroom walls are covered in sample splotches of last year’s lilac paint colours (it seemed like a good idea at the time!), the 15-year-old nylon carpet laid directly over the floorboards by the previous owner is shedding tufts of grey fuzz, and the living room chimney breast that your partner excavated last winter is still awaiting its reclaimed Victorian fireplace. It’s not that you haven’t got ideas, but somehow last winter turns into this, the summer holidays fly by, the well-intentioned DIY Bank Holiday weekends end up at the in-laws, and you still haven’t managed to decorate. What you need is someone to help you get organised, someone to focus your ideas, someone to tell you how much it’s all going to cost! Maybe it’s time you talked to an interior designer.

Don’t worry. Interior designers are professionals. They are there to offer you, the client, a service. Many offer first consultations free of charge. This means you can dip your toe into the interior design water without any risk whatsoever.

4.Choose at 3 sentences per paragraph.

-The bedroom walls are covered in sample splotches of last year’s lilac paint colours
-Interior designers are professionals.
-They are there to offer you, the client, a service
