A、Reading newspapers. B、Reading advertisements. C、Doing housing business. D、Looking for a suitable house. D

W: Why are you doing going through all these newspapers?
M: Oh, you know, I’ve just come back from New York.  I’m trying to find a house for my family to live in. But I’ve got to go through all these advertisements here and just can’t find anything good. What shall I do?
W: Well, what do you and your family really want?
M: All we need is a comfortable three-bedroom house.
W: Why don’t you take this. It’s in the city center and has three bedrooms, a bathroom, a modern kitchen, a lounge, and a dining-room. The price is reasonable.
M: But look here. It’s near the railway station, too noisy. And my wife prefers a quiet place. She can’t bear any noise.
W: Well, I know of a four-bedroom house in the suburbs.  It’s got a garden and a garage.
M: That sounds good.  Is there shopping nearby?
W: I think so, but I’m not sure.
M: Would it be very far from our company?
W: About 20 minutes’ drive.  Another important point is, there are a lot of trees around the house and the air is always fresh.  By the way, it is much cheaper than that in the city center.
M: That’s very nice.  I’ll talk it over with my wife.
