Conversation 3

M: Is this Ms. Green?

W: Yes, are you calling at for renting the apartment.

M: Yes, it still available?

W: How did you find out about it?

M: (8)I was given your address by the student accommodation agency.（男士从学生膳宿办事处获知Ms. Green家的地址。）

W: Well, you're welcome to come in and see it.

M: Thank you.

W: Are you students?

M: Yes, I'm at the University of Chicago.

W: Sounds great. So, do you want to share with any roommates or live alone?

M: I prefer to live alone. I need my peace and quiet.

W: Good. (9-1) That will make everything simpler. I like to keep things simple.（女士也喜欢简单。）

M: Me too. And I like my privacy.

W: OK，now I'll show you the apartment. (9-2)This is the balcony，and that is the kitchen. The bedroom is over there. (Ms. Green给男士介绍了阳台、厨房和卧室。）

M: This place is perfect! It's so quiet! But, (9-3)the chicken is kind of simall.(男士说厨房有些小。)

W: You won't need much space if you're cooking for one.

M: Well, I guess that's true. So how much do you charge for it?

W: (10) The rent's $200 per month. That includes electricity , but no gas. And you need to pay 3 months， rent each time, and for the first time. I will need another month's rent as deposit in case something happens. Is that OK with you? ( Ms. Green表示每月的房租是200美元，包括电费，但不包括燃气费。每次付3个月的房租，第一次交钱时需要预付1个月的房租作为押金，以防万一）

M: Great! It's OK with me. I think I'll take the apartment.
