Alex: I think I really need to move, Linda. This apartment is too noisy and too dark. There are so many cars going by, but no sun comes through the windows. Do you think it would be easy for me to find a better apartment?
Linda: Sure. There are lots of apartments available at this time of year. Which part of the city would you like to live in?
Alex: I’d like to stay on the west side, near our university, but I’d also like an apartment near the subway.
Linda: Maybe you should consider the Park area. It’s a very convenient location.
Alex: Yeah, it sounds good. It’s also near the shopping mall and not far from the airport.
Linda: Next you have to think about rent. What price range are you thinking about?
Alex: Well, I really can’t pay around 4,500 RMB a month, but I’d like to pay 3,000 if possible.
Linda: I think 3,000 is possible if you have a roommate. You could share an apartment with a college student, or maybe a young clerk.
Alex: That might be interesting, but I really like my privacy. I need to study Chinese in a quiet place and also sleep in peace every night.
Linda: Maybe it’s best for you to pay a little bit more for your own apartment. So, the next step is to decide what kind of apartment you want—how many rooms, what kind of furnishings, stuff like that.
Alex: I don’t need any special furnishings, but I certainly want a southern exposure. I like to have a bright, sunny room. One bedroom and one living room is enough, but I really want to have a balcony.
Linda: Maybe we’ll get lucky and find something bigger but not expensive. Let’s wait and see.
Alex: Okay, now that I know what I want, what do I have to do to actually find an apartment?
Linda: I’ll look through some advertisements and make some phone calls. Then we can go check out the ones that sound good.
