Read an email about the construction of a new building and mark the sentences true or false.

Dear Tijen,

The new office is growing at a great rate. The foundations were laid three weeks ago. Now the walls are up on the second floor, as well. The roof is to go on in two weeks, and all the windows and doors are to be fitted. It looks great. I'm really happy with the design and can't wait to see it all finished. We expect it will be all done by November and we will move in before the end of December. The view from upstairs is great, and there is so much light up there – it's going to be perfect as the workshop. No need for artificial lighting during the day. Just think how much we are going to save on electricity bills. The solar panels will help too, of course, as all hot water in the building is solar-heated. I'm taking photos each time I visit so I'll be able to compile a selection to map out the whole construction process. There has also been quite a lot of progress on the industrial estate where the new building is. The street lighting is all functioning now and they have started planting in all the gardens and green areas. It should all look very nice once the trees and bushes grow a bit. Also, a couple more shops have opened in the shopping centre, and a nice little coffee place. I think we'll be spending a bit of time there! Anyway, I must get back to work now. Will send you some photos with the next update.

All the best,
Arda
