Speaker 1:

Unit 5. Housing and living arrangements. Dialogue one. Renting an apartment.

Speaker 2:

Hello. How can I assist you today?

Speaker 3:

Hi. I'm interested in renting an apartment.

Speaker 2:

Great. Do you have a specific location or neighborhood in mind?

Speaker 3:

Yes. I'd prefer somewhere close to downtown.

Speaker 2:

We have several properties near downtown. What size apartment are you looking for?

Speaker 3:

I'm looking for a one bedroom apartment.

Speaker 2:

Do you have a budget range you're working with?

Speaker 3:

I'd like to keep it under $1,200 a month.

Speaker 2:

That's helpful to know. Do you need any specific amenities?

Speaker 3:

Yes. I'd like a place with a gym and laundry facilities.

Speaker 2:

We have a few options that meet those criteria. When would you like to move in?

Speaker 3:

As soon as possible, ideally by the end of the month.

Speaker 2:

Perfect. Could I schedule a few property viewings for this week?

Speaker 3:

Yes, that would be great.

Speaker 2:

Can you do a viewing tomorrow at 3PM?

Speaker 3:

Yes, I can make that time.

Speaker 2:

Excellent. Please bring your ID and proof of income when you come.

Speaker 3:

Will do. How long does the application process usually take?

Speaker 2:

It typically takes two to three business days to process.

Speaker 3:

Thank you for your help. I'm looking forward to seeing the apartments.

Speaker 1:

Dialogue two. Apartment renovation.

Speaker 4:

Hey, do you have a moment to discuss the renovation plans?

Speaker 3:

Sure. What did you have in mind?

Speaker 4:

I was thinking we could start with the kitchen. It really needs an update.

Speaker 3:

I agree. What changes are you considering?

Speaker 4:

Maybe new countertops and a modern backsplash.

Speaker 3:

That sounds great. Do you have a budget in mind?

Speaker 4:

Yes. I was thinking we could spend around $5,000.

Speaker 3:

That sounds reasonable. Should we also update the appliances?

Speaker 4:

Good idea. A new stove and fridge would be nice.

Speaker 3:

Absolutely. We should visit a few stores to compare options.

Speaker 4:

Definitely. What about the bathroom? It could use some work too.

Speaker 3:

For sure. Maybe we could do new tiles and a vanity.

Speaker 4:

I like that. Do you think we can do any of the work ourselves?

Speaker 3:

Some of it, but we might need professionals for the harder tasks.

Speaker 4:

I agree. Let's make a list of what we can handle and what we need help with.

Speaker 3:

Good plan. When do you think we should start?

Speaker 4:

How about we aim to begin next month?

Speaker 3:

Sounds perfect. Let's get this place looking amazing.

Speaker 1:

Dialogue three. Apartment sitting.

Speaker 5:

Hi. Thanks for entrusting your apartment to me. So what should I do?

Speaker 6:

First, can you water the plants every other day?

Speaker 5:

Sure. I'd love to. Do you have specific instructions?

Speaker 6:

Yes. The big fern needs more water. Just make sure the soil is moist.

Speaker 5:

Got it. Any special instructions for the others?

Speaker 6:

The succulents only need a little water, just enough to keep them from drying out.

Speaker 5:

Okay. I'll keep an eye on them. What about mail and packages?

Speaker 6:

Could you check the mailbox daily and bring in any packages?

Speaker 5:

Absolutely. Is there a spot you'd like me to leave them?

Speaker 6:

Yes. You can put everything on the entryway table.

Speaker 5:

Perfect. How about trash and recycling?

Speaker 6:

Trash goes out on Tuesday night and recycling is every other Thursday.

Speaker 5:

Thanks for clarifying. Anything else I should be aware of?

Speaker 6:

Just keep an eye on the thermostat. Try to keep it around 72 degrees.

Speaker 5:

No problem. I'll make sure to do that. Do you have any pets?

Speaker 6:

No pets, but please make sure the windows are secure when you leave.

Speaker 5:

Will do. Is there anyone I should contact in case of an emergency?

Speaker 6:

Yes. You can call my neighbor, missus Johnson. She's very helpful.

Speaker 5:

Great. I think I've got everything covered. Enjoy your trip.

Speaker 6:

Thanks again. I'm sure everything will be in good hands with you.
