Two outdoor and indoor changes do the speakers mention are:

- Removing the trees outside to make room for a swimming pool.

(Loại bỏ cây xanh bên ngoài để nhường chỗ cho bể bơi)

Thông tin: if those trees weren't there, there'd be room for a swimming pool!

(nếu những cây đó không có ở đó, sẽ có chỗ cho một bể bơi!)

- Taking away the statues inside the Antique Passage to build a bowling alley.

(Lấy đi những bức tượng bên trong Antique Passage để xây dựng một sân chơi bowling.)

Thông tin: If you took away all the statues, you could build a great bowling alley there!

(Nếu bạn lấy đi tất cả các bức tượng, bạn có thể xây dựng một sân chơi bowling tuyệt vời ở đó!)

Macy: Bạn cũng có thể thực hiện một số thay đổi bên trong. Ý tôi là, hãy nhìn vào hành lang này.
