W:(12)How is your house hunting going?
M: Not very well. I haven’t found anything within my price range yet.
W: How much do you want to spend?
M: I can only afford about ￡300 a month.
W:(14)Looks like you’re not going to get more than a bedroom in a shared flat with that.
M: Really? That’s a lot of money to pay for one room. Do you know anyone who needs a roommate?
W: Well, if you want to live in London, you have to pay the price! I can ask around at work. Do you have a preference for smokers or non-smokers?
M:(13)I’d prefer non-smoking roommates. but I guess I’ll have to take what I can get!
W: How long do you want to sign a contract for?
M: I can sign a contract up to a year. I don’t know where I’ll be after that.
W: Do you need a furnished or unfurnished apartment?
M:(14)I don’t have any furniture. so it would be great if it were furnished.
W: You know that you’ll have to pay utilities on top of the rent, right?
M: No, I thought that would be included in the rent.
W: It’s not usually included, so you’ll have to factor in about ￡ 100 more each month for utilities.
M: I don’t think I can afford that.
W: Don’t worry.(15)Sometimes people will give you a discount if you promise to do the cleaning or take care of the lawn.
M: That’s a good idea. I’ll look into finding something like that.
