Question

【題目】

WOMAN: How can I help you?

MAN: Hello. I'm interested in renting a house somewhere in the town.

WOMAN: Right. Could I have your name please?

MAN: Yes, it's Steven Godfrey. It’s hard to spell. Do you have a pen and a paper?

WOMAN: Please write here, in the form. And how many bedrooms you're looking for?

MAN: Well, we’d need four bedrooms, because I'm going to share the house with three friends. And we need two bathrooms. I drive a car, so a parking place is also needed. But we have no time to take care of a garden.

WOMAN: Okay, there are several of that size on our website. They mostly belong to families who are working abroad at the moment. What about the location?

MAN: It'd be nice to be central.

WOMAN: That might be difficult, as most houses of that size are in the suburbs. Still, there are a few. What's your upper limit for the rent?

MAN: We’d like something around 250 a month, but we could go up to 300 if we have to. But we can't go beyond that.

WOMAN: Do you know how long you want to rent the house for? The minimum let (最短租期)is six months, as you probably realize.

MAN: We’re at college here for two years, and we don't want to keep moving during that time if we can avoid it.

WOMAN: Okay, let me check what we've got on our website and call you later.

MAN: Sure. Thank you. Bye.
