Andy: Yes, you are right. London is one of the most expensive cities in the whole world.

Anyway, this one looks quite promising. One bedroom for rent in a flat in Shepherd’s Bush, shared with three other people. Janet: What’s the rent?

Andy: 110 pounds per week. It’s a bit more than I can afford but let’s see. Joe: Janet.

Andy: I will try it quickly before we start work. Joe: Janet, are you in the studio? Janet: Hi there Joe, I’m here.

Joe: Can you tell Andy that I’d like to have a word with him when he comes in? Andy: Tell him I’m not in yet.

Janet: Andy, you really shouldn’t ask me to tell lies. I’ll pretend I don’t understand. Ok, Joe. I’ll tell him, OK!

Hurry up, otherwise he will catch you.

Joe: Oh ,and Janet…Oh I thought you told me he wasn’t in? Janet: I’m sorry,Joe. I didn’t understand……

Andy: Hello, yes,I was wondering if the room was still vacant…

Joe: Well, tell him that if it’s a personal call, he can do it outside business hours, in his own time. Janet: But he is looking for a new flat.

Joe: Sorry, not interested. Andy, put the phone down, or you will be looking for a new job as well. Andy: It isn't ?Ok, thanks…Bye, too late, it’s already gone.Pity,it sounds really good. Oh ,hi Joe! Joe: Andy, I really wish you wouldn’t make private calls at work.

珍妮特:那你什么时候要搬出去。

安迪:好吧,我的房东已经给了我四个星期的通知。这是不容易找到一个地方立即。

珍妮特:你在找什么样的价格范围?

安迪:好吧,我每周不能花4万英镑。

珍妮特:这听起来像很多钱。

Conversation2

Janet: So why does your landlord want you to move out? Andy: Well, he’s been living abroad but he’s coming back. J: Sounds fair enough.

A: Sure, but it’s frustrating, because I’ve lived there for nearly two years now, and I quite like it. It’s just round the corner from where I was brought up. J: Yes, it is kind of nice round there.

A: It’s really convenient for work, as it’s close to a tube station. And it’s fairly cheap, because it’s south of the river.

J: So living south of the River Thames is cheaper?

A: Oh, yes, kind of. Generally north of the River is more expensive because public transport is better, and it always has been more fashionable.

J: But around Borough Market is very fashionable, isn’t it? A: Well, it’s fashionable now, but it didn’t used to be. J: Why is the transport better north of the river?

A: Well, the tube was first built in the centre and north of London. In the south, until a few years ago, there were only a couple of tube lines. Plenty of buses, but it’s always been an advantage to be close to a tube station.

J: How about this? Three bedrooms vacant, large living room, no students, no pets.

A: Where is it? Ok, got it. That’s in Finsbury Park. That’s on the Victoria Line. Let’s give it a go. A: Hello, yes ,I’m calling about the flat in today’s Evening Standard. Can you tell me something about it? …right, yeah, five minutes from the tube…two bedrooms still vacant…Ok, I see

…So, it’s 100 pounds but with electricity, gas and water bills to be paid on top. Can I come round to see it? Ok then, I’ll come round this evening. My name is Andy Harrison…yes, that’s right. Thanks a lot…see you this evening…Bye. J: Great!

A: It sound great! I’ll go and see it tonight. Do you want to come? J: I’d love to.

珍妮特:那么为什么你的房东要你搬出去吗?

安迪:嗯,他一直住在国外,但他回来了。

听起来很公平。

当然,但这很令人沮丧,因为我已经在那里住了近两年了,我很喜欢它。它就在拐角处,从那里我长大了。

是的,那里有一个很好的圆。

工作很方便,因为它靠近地铁站。它相当便宜,因为它的南部的河流。

记者:所以住在河的南部是便宜的吗?

哦,是的,有点。一般来说,河的北部更贵,因为公共交通更为好,而且它一直都很时髦。

记者:但在博罗市场很时髦,不是吗?

哦,现在很流行,但这并不是。

为什么这条河的交通更北?

答:好的,这是第一次在伦敦市中心和北的地铁。在南方,在几年前,只有几条管道。许多公共汽车,但它始终是一个优势靠近地铁站。

这是怎样的?三间卧室空置,大客厅,没有学生,没有宠物。

那是哪里?好了,得到它。那是在芬斯伯里公园。这是关于维多利亚线。让我们给它一个去。

你好,是的,我在今天晚上的标准里打电话给我。你能告诉我一些关于它的事吗?……对了,五分钟从管……2间卧室还空……好,我看

……如此,它的100磅,但与电力,天然气和水的费用要支付的顶部。我可以来看看吗?好吧,我今晚就来。我的名字是哈里森安迪…是的,这是正确的。谢谢很多……见你今晚……再见。

伟大的!

听起来很不错!我今晚去看看。你要来吗?

我很想去。

Outside View

Where do people live in Britain? Do they live in houses or flats? Do they live in towns or the countryside? Well, 90 per cent of the population live in towns. There are lots of different kinds of houses. This is the kind of house you find in British towns. Terraced houses are joined together-Sometimes in a long row, but some terraces have only got a few houses. These are

semi-detached houses-just two houses joined together. There are as many semi-detached

houses in Britain as terraced houses. Sixty per cent of the population live in terraced or semi-detached houses. These are detached houses-there aren't any other houses joined on to them. Some detached houses are very large, but others can be quite small. Lots of people live
