Conversation One
M: Hi, Shelley. Come on in.
W: Uh, yeah, I stopped by to see if youwere still looking for a roommate to share your house.
M: Yep. I sure am. [19]Ever since I cutback on my working hours to go to school, I've been really strapped for cash.Hey, let me show you around the place. Uh, here's the living room.
W: Oh. [20]It looks like you could use anew carpet... and those stains?
M: Well. I've had a few problems with someformer roommates. I know it needs to be cleaned, but I just don't have themoney to do it right now.
W: Oh. And what about the kitchen?
M: Right this way. Look. It's completelyfurnished with all the latest appliances, except... [21]Well, the refrigeratordoor is broken... a little bit... and it won't shut all the way. It needsfixing, but don't worry. [21]I've pushed a box against it to keep it shut.
W: Hmm. Great. Well, how about thebathroom? ... No, no. Don't tell me. The toilet is clogged or the sink has afew leaks.
M: No, those work fine. Well, there'sanother slight problem. The windows. I've put up a piece of cardboard to keepout the rain and snow, and if it gets a little cold, you can always turn up theheat.
W: Hey, [22]I think I've seen enough. Ican't believe you've survived under these conditions.
M: So what do you think? You really can'tbeat a place like this for $450 a month. So it has its problems, but we can fixthose.
W: Uh, no, thank you. I think I've seenenough.
