W: I’m really lucky you stopped and offered me a lift. I’ve been waiting for about two hours but no one seemed to be going my way. M: Are you a student？ W: Yes, I’m a biology student in London University. I’m going up to Edinburgh for the festival, but it’s so expensive on the train that I decided to try and hitch a lift. M: Well, you are lucky because I should have been going yesterday, but something happened to delay me so I postponed my trip until today. W: Is it all right if I put my bag on the back seat？ M: Yes, of course. W: It started to rain just as I left the house this morning and my clothes and shoes are wet through. Would you mind if I take off my shoes？ M: No, of course not. I don’t mind. Go ahead. W: Thanks. M: Oh, don’t forget to put your seat belt on! You can get fined nowadays, you know, for not wearing your seat belt. W: Yes, sorry, I forgot. Could I open this window？ M: Well, I’d rather you don’t if you don’t mind. It gets very draughty when you open that window. But you can open the back window. W: Is it all right if I go to sleep for a while？ M: Yes, of course. I’ll wake you up when we reach the next service station. I’ll need some coffee then. (23) A．Because she has a company for the drive. B．Because she can attend the festival.

M1: What about the kitchen？ M2: Right this way. Look. It's completely furnished with all the latest appliances, except... M1: What？ M2: Well, the refrigerator door is broken ... a little bit ... and it won't shut all the way. It needs fixing, but don't worry. It isn't that bad. M1: Well how about the bathroom？ Don't tell me the toilet is clogged or the sink has a few leaks. M2: No, those work fine, but, uh, the window needs fixing. M1: Let me see. Where's the window pane？ M2: Well, that's another slight problem. I've put up a piece of cardboard to keep out the rain and snow, and if it gets a little cold, you can always turn up the heat. M1: I can't believe you've survived under these conditions. M2: So what do you think？ You really can't beat a place like this for $450 a month. So it has its problems, but we can fix those.

It is also a good idea to check all the appliances as well as the water and electricity to be sure everything is working. It might also be a good idea to talk to other people who rent apartments in the same building. This will help you to find out if there are any problems.
