M: Hello. Do you have any apartments for rent right now? I’ve been told you might have a vacant room. I’d like to rent either a single room or a two-bedroom apartment.
W: Oh, hello, but you know, the single room has been rented. I just have a two-bedroom now. Do you want to look at it?
M: Thank you. The living room is larger than I expected. I like the carpet.
W: The colors are nice, aren’t they? Do come in. (19) Well, on the right is the kitchen. You can use the kitchen. It is quite small but it has basic appliances including everything, cooker, fridge, even a dishwasher.
M: Well, it is convenient.
W: At the back of the living room are two bedrooms. This apartment is in good condition. The larger one is the master bedroom. This is the smaller one.
M: Is all the furniture included?
W: Only what is fixed. You will have to provide tables, chairs and beds. (20) You can buy things cheaply from second-hand shops or at auction.
M: Is that a crack in the ceiling there?
W: Yes, I’m afraid it is, but it can easily be repaired. We’re going to get that done next week. The master bedroom has an adjoining bathroom.
M: Yes, it is very nice. I understand it is 600 dollars a month. (21)Is there any discount for the rent?
W: (21)I’m afraid not. Prices have really gone up in the past couple of years. I forgot to ask you, though. How long did you want to live in the place? I usually sign one year leases.
19. What can we learn from the woman about the kitchen?
20. Where can the man get some furniture for the bedroom?
21. Why can’t the woman provide the man some discount for rent?
