1. The house is abandoned as nobody has lived there for years. The rooms are full of old junk and they are very dirty. In fact the building is in ruins and it's dangerous to go to the house.
2. I went to look at a car yesterday. It was really old and rusting. There were wholes in the metal! The inside was worse. It was full of dirt and dust. I don't think anyone will buy it.
3. My parents moved here 20 years ago when the town was thriving and doing well. It became industrialized very quickly and there were lots of new factories and jobs.
4. When I first came to the town hall I worked as a clerk in the office. I looked after all the documents and paper work. Now I've got a more important job, I'm the treasurer and I controll all the money that the city spends.
