Since my parents' house is so far away, I need to find an apartment closer to school.

I thought you were going to stay at the dorm?

I still have not decided whether to stay at the dormitory or not.

I am looking at different options to find the best one suited to me.

I just need a small room with a bed, a desk, and a TV.

Of course, the place should have a kitchen so that I can cook my meals.

I will be living on a very tight budget and will have to watch every dime.

A simple and decent apartment is all I need.

School is going to start next month so I should find something as soon as possible.

It is not easy to find a cheap apartment that suits your needs.

I have been looking at the ads for two weeks and I still haven't found anything yet.

Everything I like so far is too expensive and way beyond my reach.

Yeah, the closer they are to school, the higher the rental cost.

Since I don't have a car, I need to find something close to school.

If you want, we can find a two-bedroom apartment and share it.

Hello, can I speak with Mr. Johnson, please?

My name is Olivia Moore and I'm calling about the apartment for rent on Spring Street.

Would you be interested in seeing the apartment?

Yes, my friend Sarah and I would love to see it.

I was wondering if the apartment is located in a nice area?

As a matter of fact, the apartment is in a wonderful location.

There are many stores and restaurants surrounding the apartment.

I promise you that you will love the location.

From what you're telling me, it sounds like we will.

When can we come over to visit the apartment?

It has a small kitchen, two bedrooms, and one large bathroom with washer and dryer.

This apartment is exactly what we're looking for.

It's $725 each month and it requires a 12-month lease.

You have to pay the tenancy deposit and the first month's rent.

Can we redecorate the place ourselves or paint a room if we want to?

Yes, you can, but you shouldn't change the appearance of the property significantly.

Water, sewage, garbage, and internet are all included in the rent.

You have to pay for electricity and cable.

What is the closest public transportation?

There are three bus lines right across the street.

We are students, so we need a quiet apartment to be able to study.

I love the apartment and it's very close to school.

I usually spend my leisure time reading books or playing sports.

I like reading new and trending novels, and my favorite genres include suspense and thriller novels.

Basketball, but I also like swimming and rollerblading.

I love rollerblading, too. It's super fun.

Wonderful! We can go to a roller skating rink together.

I think I'm a good people person. I can go up and talk to people easily.

I can't cook well yet, but I'm working on it.

I hope to be able to make some progress soon. What about you?

I can cook really well, so I can teach you a lot of recipes.

I have no style. I wish I knew how to create harmonious outfits.

Don't worry. Fashion is my thing, so I can give you some tips on how to be stylish and dress well.
