Dialog 14: Responding to the classified ads (Looking for an apartment)
Lady: Hello? Mark: Hi! Is the apartment you advertised in the paper still available? L: Yes. M: May I ask a few questions? L: Certainly. M: How big is the apartment? L: It has one bedroom, a living area, a kitchen, and a small den. The den used to be a separate bedroom, but the former tenant decided to tear the wall down. M: Does it get any light? L: Oh, yes. The apartment faces south. M: How much is the rent? L: Nine fifty a month plus one month’s rent as a security deposit. M: One last question. Why did the last tenant leave? L: His company offered him a job in New York. He moved to the east coast last month. M: That’s where I’m from. I just moved here a week ago. L: What a coincidence! M: Yes. Can I see the apartment? L: Sure. How about tomorrow at four thirty? M: That sounds great. See you then.
