dialogue One

I Want Someone to Move in

W: Hello, may I help you?

M: Y es. We're interested in seeing the rooms you have for rent.

W: Oh, how nice. I just put up that sign this morning and you're the first folks who have come along to see them.

M: How lucky we are.

W: Well, you'd better have a look first. They're just simple rooms. My children used to live in them. They' re grown up now and long gone, and my husband died early this year. The house is so quiet now that I thought maybe I'd take in a few roomers.

M: A nice, quiet house is exactly what we're looking for.

W: Well, here you are, gentlemen. Each room is $35 a week if you think that's OK. I won't charge you anything for electricity and gas and you can use the kitchen as much as you

like as long as you buy your own food. And you've got to do your own washing up. I'm

too old for all that now.

M: That sounds just wonderful to us, Madam.

W: When do you want to move in?

M: How about this afternoon?

W: Fine. I'll be expecting you around two. And I'll give each of you a house key then.
