Benjamin: What a fine day! Oh, I can enjoy reading on this balcony in a fine day like this. I like it.


Shirley: The balcony is very beautiful, but I don't like the fact that it faces north.


Benjamin: Why? What's wrong with its facing north?


Shirley: You don't know that, if the balcony faces north, it will get cool in the summer, but too cold in the winter.


Benjamin: You don't have to worry about it. We have the radiator 1 system in winter, don't we?


Shirley: The best houses face south; in that case, we will enjoy the cool wind in the summer and own the warm sunshine in the winter.


Benjamin: Oh, darling, I am sorry, but we don't have that kind of money for a south facing house.


Shirley: Well, forget it. I was just talking. The nice environment of this apartment is good for our children. I am satisfied with it.


Benjamin: Thanks. And it's convenient for you to go to work and to go shopping.


Shirley: Yes. To our children, it's also close to their schools. That's really satisfying me.


Benjamin: I am most attracted by the price. You know, this slab-type apartment building costs the least in Beijing.


Shirley: The cheapest? Are you sure? Do you know the developer?


Benjamin: Know little about the developer but I am sure this is the cheapest building here.


Shirley: Can we buy this house on mortgage?


Benjamin: Yes, and we got the urban housing provident 2 fund to pay for part of it. It's not very hard for us to come up with the money for down payment.


Shirley: Wish to move in earlier.


Benjamin: Oh, darling, refresh our memory. Our silver wedding anniversary is coming.


Shirley: (smile) Thinking about the wedding, it's just like yesterday.


听看学



本杰明:天气真好!噢,我可以在像今天这样的好天气在阳台上看书了。我喜欢这阳台。


雪莉:阳台很漂亮,但是我不喜欢它朝北。


本杰明:为什么啊?朝北有什么不好吗?


雪莉:你不知道啊,如果阳台朝北,夏天凉爽,但是冬天很冷啊。


本杰明:不用担心那个。我们冬天有暖气,不是吗?


雪莉:最好的房子是朝南的,那样的话夏天很凉快,冬天阳光很温暖。


本杰明:噢,亲爱的。很抱歉,我们没那么多钱买朝南的房子。


雪莉:好了,忘记它吧。我只是说说而已。这公寓环境不错,对孩子们有益。我对此很满意。


本杰明:谢谢。你工作和购物也很方便。


雪莉:是啊,孩子们上学也很近。这真让我满意。


本杰明:最吸引我的是价钱。你知道吧,这套板楼公寓是全北京最便宜的。


雪莉:最便宜的?你确定?你了解开发商吗?


本杰明:关于开发商我只知道一点点,但我确定这是最便宜的。


雪莉:我们能按揭买这房子吗?


本杰明:可以,我们可以用城市住房公积金来支付一部分,付头款对我们来说也不是很难。


雪莉:希望能早点搬进来。


本杰明:噢,亲爱的,回忆一下,我们的银婚纪念日快到了。


雪莉:(微笑)想想我们的婚礼,就像在昨天一样。
