Topic: They live across the street.

今天我们学习有关居住的内容。

They live across the street.

他们住在街对面。

That means¹ they live on the other side of the street，facing your house.

The other side 另一面，facing 面对。

Now this is more for houses， not apartments.

这里Victor就要更正大家一个容易犯的错误，一提我们住的房子就用house，其实house是指独门独院的房子，像我们大部分人住在单元房要用apartment。

And Victor we never say ‘across the block’.

Block和street意思很近，但要记住我们从来不说‘across the block’.

Right.Now they live across the street.

They live across the street.

Ok，that’s all.

Bye-bye.
