010 renting an apartment
beginner
a: what kind of place shall we rent?
b:it should be close to the universtity. neither of us are good at getting up in the morinings and closer it is, the later we can get up.
a:asolutely. that's the most important thing to take into consideration 1. i'm not too worried about the size of the flat.
b: neither am i. so a small place is ok, but we'll get a bigger one if it's not expensive. do you mind if it's in a noisy area.
a:i don't mind. i'm not a light sleeper 2, but quieter is better for when we have to study at home.
b: good point. ok, let's go to the estate 3 agent and see what they can offer us.
a: yes, if we're lucky we'll find something in the next few days. i think you had a good idea to start flat hunting early.
b: how much do you think the rent will be?
a: i asked a few people who are already living in places near the university and they said it would cost about one hundred pounds a month.
intermediate 4

b: are you looking for somewhere for two people?
a: yes, we are. obviously 5, we'd like something as cheap as possible. we've heard that there are places for 80 to 100 pounds a month.
b: yes ,there are several place availabe in that price range near the uviversity. do you have any other requirements 6?
a: net really, no. we'd preferably like to live in a quiet street.
b: how many rooms do you need in the flat?
a: we'll need two bedrooms. the kitchen and dining room can be seperate or combined.
b: ok. i've got a list of place that fit your requirements. let's just go through them. the first on the list costs 80 pounds a month, but it's on a noisy street and it's a little far from the universtiy.
a: how far away is it from the campus 7?
b: it's about two miles away. that might be a little far to walk. here's one that's about half a mile from the campus. the cost is 100 pounds a month and it's on a small street, just off a main street.
a: that sounds ideal 8. can we go to have a look at it? we'd like to see it before making a final decision.
b: of course. i'm not very busy at the monment. if you can wait for about 15 or 20 minutes. i can take you there.
a: thank you. that would be great.
