Come see this unique and modern house built on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The house has a spacious interior with stunning glass and metal design that perfectly complements the natural rock formation. And the view is extremely spectacular, with unobstructed views of the endless ocean. You won't find another house quite like this one, so come and see it for yourself.

3. Do you think the woman is keen on buying the house? Why? / Why not?
It is not clear whether the woman is keen on buying the house or not. She expresses interest in the house and even makes an appointment to look around, but she also mentions that she needs to find somewhere soon and hasn't made up her mind yet. It is possible that she is still considering her options and needs more information before making a decision.

In secondary school, I had an assignment that I didn't particularly enjoy. I didn't take the assignment seriously and ended up procrastinating until the night before it was due. As a result, I rushed through it and didn't do as well as I could have if I had taken it more seriously. I learned from this experience to always put in effort, even if I don't enjoy the task.
