M: Hello, Peggy. Why are you going through all those newspapers?
W: Oh, David. I’m trying to find a flat and I’ve got to go through all these advertisements. I just can’t find anything good.
M: Are you wanting to share or do you want a flat on your own?
W: Well, you know Sara and Mary? I’ d really like to share with them.
M: Well, I know of an empty flat. I don’t know if you’ d like it. It is on the No. 10 bus route in Woodsite Road No. 12, I think it is.
W: Oh, I know Woodside Road and the bus is the one that brings me to work. It would be a marvelous place. How many rooms has it got?
M: Well, it’ s got kitchen and bathroom. Um, apart from that I think it’ s got two bedrooms.
W: Mm, well, I suppose two of us could share. How much is the rent?
M: I think they want $ 21 a week for it.
W: Oh, that’ s fine, that would be $ 7 each. I don’t really want to spend more than $ 7.
M: No, but you see the trouble is it might be a bit noisy. Woodside Road is really quite busy. It’ s on the bus route after all. With all that traffic going past I don’t know if you’ d really like it.
W: Oh, that doesn’t matter, we’ d be out all day. It’ s marvelous to be on the bus route, we wouldn’t have to walk at all and we’ d get to work so quickly. Oh thanks so much, David. I must go and tell Sara and Mary.
M: Well, I hope it’ s what you want.
W: Oh yes, thanks a lot.
M: That’s all right.
