Steve: Matthew? Hi!


Matthew: Steve! Haven't seen you in ages! How long's it been?


Steve: it's got to be almost a year now.


M: how have you been?


S: I'm pretty good. I've been looking for a place to live recently. My lease 1 runs out next month and I don't want to renew 2 it.


M: yeah, I remember the neighborhood. Have you found a place yet?


S: not yet. I am still looking through the classifieds. Wish me luck.


M: well, maybe I can help. Remember my neighbor?


S: Mrs. Zhou?


M: yes, her daughter's having a baby, so she's moving in with her to help out. I think if you are interested, you can come over and have a look.


S: great. It's a lovely neighborhood. And it would be nice to be neighbors again. It would be just like the old days!


M: I'll ask Mrs. Zhou when she's available 3 to show the apartment and let you know. Has your number changed?

马修?嗨!


史蒂夫!好长时间不见了,有多久了呢?


到现在差不多有一年了啊.


你怎么样?


我很好.我最近一直在找住的地方,下个月我租的房子就到期了,可是我不想继续在那住下去了.


是啊,我还记得你那个社区.那你找到住的地方了吗?


还没有.还在看报纸上的专栏广告,祝我好运吧!


或者我能帮上忙.你还记得我的邻居吗?


周太太吗?


是啊,她女儿不久之后要生小孩了,她要搬过去帮忙.我觉得你要是有兴趣,可以过来看看她的房子.


那太好了,那周围的环境不错,和你做邻居也再好不过了,我们就会像以前那样.


那我问问周太太,看她什么时候有时间带你去看看,定下来我再告诉你.你换电话号码了吗?
