「Beginner」step1 ：初級(jí)入門(mén)

    A ： What kind of place shall we rent ？

    B ： It should be close to the university. Neither of us are good
at getting up in the mornings and closer it is， the later we can get
up.

    A ： Absolutely. That's the most important thing to take into consideration.
I'm not too worried about the size of the flat.

    B ： Neither am I. So a small place is ok ， but we'll get a bigger
one if it's not expensive. Do you mind if it's in a noisy area？

    A ： I don't mind. I'm not a light sleeper， but quieter is better
for when we have to study at home.

    B ： Good point. Ok ， let's go to the estate agent and see what they
can offer us.

    A ： Yes， if we're lucky we'll find something in the next few days.
I think you had a good idea to start flat hunting early.

    B ： How much do you think the rent will be ？

    A ： I asked a few people who are already living in places near the
university and they said it would cost about one hundred pounds a month.

    「Intermediate」step2 ：中級(jí)進(jìn)階

    A ： We'd like to rent a flat near the university.

    B ： Are you looking for somewhere for two people ？

    A ： Yes， we are. Obviously， we'd like something as cheap as possible.
We've heard that there are places for 80 to 100 pounds a month.

    B ： Yes，there are several place available in that price range near
the university. Do you have any other requirements？

    A ： Not really ， no. We'd preferably like to live in a quiet street.

    B ： How many rooms do you need in the flat ？

    A ： We'll need two bedrooms. The kitchen and dining room can be seperate
or combined.

    B ： OK. I've got a list of places that fit your requirements. Let's
just go through them. The first on the list costs 80 pounds a month ，
but it's on a noisy street and it's a little far from the universtiy.

    A ： How far away is it from the campus ？

    B ： It's about two miles away.That might be a little far to walk.
Here's one that's about half a mile from the campus. The cost is 100 pounds
a month and it's on a small street， just off a main street.

    A ： That sounds ideal. Can we go to have a look at it？ We'd like
to see it before making a final decision.

    B ： Of course. I'm not very busy at the moment. If you can wait for
about 15 or 20 minutes， I can take you there.

    B ： Thank you. That would be great.
