Welcome to my mansion. Let me show you around. Oh, please leave your shoes by that marble door. Of course, my shoe servant will clean or polish them for you and have them ready when you leave.
First, let's take the escalator down to the basement. The first door on our left leads to the bowling alley. It uses a computer system to keep score for you.
Next, on the right, you'll notice the entrance to the indoor tennis courts. The blue surfaced court is a hard court, the green is carpeted, and the red one is clay.
A basketball court? That's on the third floor. I'll show that to you later.
This room over here, that's thirty tons of sand on the floor. No, it's not a big sandbox. You don't expect my cat to use a regular litter box, do you?
At the end of the hall, let me open the door for you, you'll see the indoor swimming pool. It looks like a small lake. Cool, or what?
Well, that's about it for this level, except for the arcade room, but that isn't quite finished yet. When it's done, there will be over 200 machines. Here, let's just take this elevator to the first floor.
As we come out of the elevator, we can see the main kitchen. Naturally, it's staffed twenty-four hours a day. See that man over there? He's one of my hamburger chefs. No home should be without at least one hamburger chef. That woman over to the right, the one with the tomato sauce on her nose, she's the head pizza chef. I paid her big bucks to come here from Pizza Hut.
Why don't we walk down to the far end of this hallway? I'll show you the television room. Yes, I know this looks more like a theater, but that screen is only 120 inches wide. The satellite and cable remote controls are built right into the arm rests of these reclining chairs.
Hey, I've got to show you the computer room next. Then we can stop in the exercise room and…
Oh, Mrs Plant, sorry, I guess I was daydreaming. My math? It's not done yet. I've got my name, my first name anyway, on the paper. My writing piece? Uh, is it OK if I write about the mansion I'm going to have someday?

I woke up late and had breakfast in a hurry. I had never been late and didn’t want my boss to be unsatisfied.
However, it seemed that day wasn’t a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to rush downstairs one of my stiletto heels(细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things that I had tried to match the red shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.
On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait. I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients(客户) that morning.
Finally, I arrived at the office one hour later. I had to keep calm and be fresh for the meeting to make the clients sure that our plan was the best for their future commercial(商业的) project. However, when I was going to present(介绍) it to the clients, I found that I left the plan I had made the night before at home. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft(草稿) of it in my office.
At last, the presentation came to an end and it proved to be a success. But I had to say that I had a terrible day, full of incidents.
