renting an apartment

dialogue one

sam wants to rent an apartment

she saw an advertisement for a beautiful

one in the magazine

so she’s calling the housing agency to

talk about it

abc housing agency

how can i help you

hi my name is sam i saw an advertisement

in a magazine for an apartment on xyz

street

may i have some more information about

it please

a moment please

i will have to check if it is still

available

yes it is still available

what information would you like to know

ma’am

i would like to know if it is possible

to already move in next month i am in a

rush

if we finish the paperwork and you pay

the deposit by the end of this week it

would be possible ma’am

that’s good to hear

i will visit your agency tomorrow to

check out the apartment

can you make an appointment for me

of course ma’am

would 10 am be okay that’s perfect

great see you tomorrow then please

remember to bring your id with you as

well

thank you for reminding me

you’re welcome is there anything else i

can do for you ma’am

that would be all thank you and see you

tomorrow have a great day

uh you too ma’am see you

[Music]

dialogue two

sam arrives at the housing agency

she is met with mark an agent who shows

her around the apartment she is

interested in

hello

i have an appointment scheduled at 10

a.m for reviewing

oh yes you must be sam right

nice to finally meet you my name is mark

we talked on the phone yesterday

hi mark nice to meet you too

may i ask if i am able to see the

apartment already

definitely do you mind walking

it is right on the next block it would

take five minutes tops to get there

that’s okay

great let’s go

[Music]

are you tired

i’m sorry that you had to walk all of

those stairs

the elevator is being fixed right now it

will probably work normally by the time

you move in

it’s okay

exercise for me although i’d really

appreciate the elevator

i know

let’s have a look at this apartment

though i’m sure you will love it

please lead the way

okay so this is the living room it is

very spacious

you can fit even two sofas in here

you will be able to host many gatherings

in this space

it is beautiful

may i see the kitchen and dining area as

well

i usually spend a lot of time there as i

love to cook for my family and friends

of course

the kitchen is actually my favorite

feature of this apartment

its design is really modern and caters

to its owners every need

there is a fridge an electric stove

an oven and even a dishwasher

those are really useful indeed i

especially love the kitchen island in

the middle so trendy

i see you have good taste

come this way please the bedrooms and

bathrooms are even more amazing

how many bedrooms and bathrooms are in

this apartment again

this is a two-bedroom apartment with an

ensuite bathroom and a separate one at

the end of this hallway

that might be too many for me

i might have to find someone to share

the apartment with

that wouldn’t be a problem ma’am we do

allow sharing

also if you decide to start a family

this would be an ideal place

i agree

i really love what i see so far but i’ll

have to think about it carefully

this is the first time i’m living on my

own i want everything to be perfect

i understand

should we head back to the agency so we

can talk some more about the details

yes good idea

dialogue three

sam loves the apartment she saw

she decides to take another step by

discussing money matters with mark

so sam what do you think

i think the apartment is absolutely

lovely

i would like to talk about money how

much would the rent cost here

it is a thousand dollars a month

electricity and internet not included

not included

isn’t that a bit expensive

would eight hundred dollars be

sufficient

i’m sorry that price is too low for an

apartment that size

we can give you other options if you

want

i really like that apartment though

what about nine hundred dollars

that’s all i can afford right now

900 is lower than what we want but we

will make an exception for you

thank you so much

i would be really sad if i couldn’t rent

this place it is an absolute gem

yes we have had multiple inquiries about

it so far

but since you called first it is natural

that you get to decide first

i feel so lucky

can you send me the contract later

of course i will send it to you as soon

as possible it was lovely doing business

with you same for me thank you again

mark

[Music]

dialogue for

sam received the contract through email

after reading it she still wonders about

a few things

she calls mark to clear up any confusion

hey mark

sorry to bother you again i just have a

few questions about the apartment

no problem sam what is it

i was wondering about some minor flaws i

saw in the house

like a few dirty spots on the wall or

the broken lamp in the bathroom

are those going to be fixed

of course our team will send someone

there to make sure everything is

spotless before you arrive

nice

what about pets am i allowed to own one

if yes which ones that’s okay but you

will have to pay a small fee of 20 a

month

and we only allow cats and dogs

i see

do you know if there is any place for

them to play around the apartment

there’s a park opposite it no worries

that’s good to hear thank you for your

help

my pleasure ma’am

can i help you with anything else

actually yes is there a train station or

a bus stop nearby

i don’t have my own car yet

there is a bus stop right beside the

building you can also travel by train

but i believe the nearest train station

one kilometer away so you’ll have to

walk a bit

i got it thank you

you’re welcome ma’am

dialogue five

sam made a post online to find a

flatmate

christina sees it and gives sam a call

hello is this sam’s number

yes sam is speaking how can i help you

i saw your post online about looking for

a flatmate

i have all the information needed about

the space but do you mind me asking

about you

i would love to get to know my future

flatmate before i decide to move in

of course go ahead ask me anything you

want

okay are you a party animal

sorry if this is a bit blunt

are you

i can be sometimes but i prefer to go

out for that i like my own space clean

and quiet

me too

i spend a lot of time tidying up i can’t

stand having a musty house

are you a night owl

when i’m busy yes

but i also love my sleep especially on

the weekends

do you smoke

yes but we can’t smoke inside the

building so it wouldn’t be a problem if

you don’t

i see

one last question is there a parking lot

i recently bought a new car and it would

be awesome if i can park right where i

live

unfortunately no you’ll have to park

somewhere else

i know there is a parking lot a block

away from this building

that actually is not that bad i can deal

with it thank you so much for answering

it’s nothing

hey i think we have a lot in common

you can move in anytime you want even

tomorrow is possible if you can finish

all the paperwork

really thank you so much

i will have to think about it and ask my

parents about their thoughts on it as

well

i’ll let you know as soon as possible

take your time just call me back when

you’re ready i’m always on my phone

got it thank you

hopefully we will be great flatmates

goodbye

i’m sure we will be call me soon bye bye

[Music]

dialogue six

sam is horrified to find a few problems

with the apartment she contacts the

housing agency for help

hello this is sam

i am a tenant at your apartment on xyz

street

i’m calling to ask for help with the

pipes

they are leaking everywhere it is

starting to get smelly in here

can you tell me exactly what happened

ma’am

i’m not too sure

maybe the drains got blocked

the water in the sink is draining really

slowly

okay i will call our technical

department and see if they can send

someone over immediately

it seems like an urgent problem

yes thank you very much

i just got home from work and this is

quite stressful

by the way can you tell that person to

fix the toilet as well

we haven’t been able to flush for a few

days so we have to share one bathroom

it is really inconvenient

of course ma’am no worries i will get

back to you after i get a hang of the

technical department is that fine

absolutely thank you so much for your

help i am a little freaked out but i am

happy that the agency is so quick at

resolving these issues

our pleasure ma’am please let me know if

you need any other help

i think that’s it for now i will call if

there are any other problems though

sure ma’am have a good day

thank you you too goodbye

[Music]

dialogue 7

after living with christina for half a

year

sam finds a new job

yeah i got a new job

she contacts the housing agency again

because she needs to move out

hello it’s sam again i’m calling to

inform you that i will be moving out

next month due to a change of work

congratulations on your new job ma’am

we are sad to hear that you are leaving

but very excited for you

how can we help you with this process

thank you

is there anything i need to do before

leaving

i tried to find some information on your

website but couldn’t find much

you just need to file out a form about

your departure and return the keys to us

since you also have a flatmate you’ll

have to make sure she is willing to pay

the full rent if no one else is

replacing you

that’s it

that’s all ma’am

is it fine if i leave my furniture

behind

you will have to discuss that privately

with your flatmate

what if i lost my keys

then you’ll have to pay a fee so we can

hire a locksmith to change the locks at

your current place

it is a bit expensive but we do this to

prevent our tenants from losing their

keys too many times

i see how much will it cost

fifty dollars man

i got it thank you so much

it’s all good ma’am

can i help you with anything else

i don’t think so

if anything happens can i call you again

by the way can i get your name as well

it’s laina ma’am please do not hesitate

to call or visit the agency anytime you

want we are always happy to help

thank you

have a great afternoon laina

you too ma’am goodbye

it’s up to you

[Music]

i’m just curious

why have you divorced

i’m so sorry if this question makes you

feel awkward i just

just

that’s fine

because we can’t get along anymore

we got married when she was 23 and i was

we had absolutely nothing except two

young hearts

so we had taken time to earn money as

much as possible

to survive to raise lily growing up and

time blows everything up

we didn’t have time for each other you

know we

argued every single day

this is not a new story for married life

we decided to give each other freedom

we are still friends now to raise lilly

better it’s the best decision ever

i can’t imagine if she would have to

grow up in an unhappy family

so how about you how’s your life

my life at the moment is okay

i wasted two years to step out of a love

completely

i loved him for two years and wasted two

years forgetting him as well

we argued every day even because of tiny

things

if we are not happy in love we should

move on

i needed time for myself you know

i also needed my mind to focus on my

business

so we’ve broken up you know it’s common

sense

[Music]

my pleasure

thank you

[Music]

in the makeup store

every girl loves makeup

tina also

she went to a beauty store to buy her

first makeup kit

watch the video to learn vocabularies

about beauty and cosmetics topic

[Music]

hello may i help you are you looking for

something

hi i’m looking for a full basic makeup

set

this is my first time buying those

things

so i don’t know what exactly i need

apart from lipsticks and powder

no worries let me help you

we can find a lipstick for you first

then maybe i will tell you a bit about

the steps to apply makeup

then we can choose the products

according to those steps for you

okay thanks a lot i’m still not too sure

about all these i’m glad you help

my pleasure

let me see you seem to have a light skin

tone

so those lipsticks with bright and deep

colors will fit you perfectly

normally i use pink lipsticks so i want

to try some new colors

let’s try this one then

maybelline lipstick shade 382 red for me

it has a moderately cool toned medium

dark red with a matte finish

this one looks gorgeous

i like it

this kind of matte lipstick will stay

longer however your lips will feel a bit

dry

so don’t forget to soften your lips with

lip balm like 10 minutes before applying

the lipstick

okay i will get this one any other

recommendations

let me put it in this basket for you

how about orange l’oreal brand shade

orange avenue 146 satin finish

it looks somehow wetter and softer but

cannot stay as long as a matte finish

wow i love it

very comfortable and smooth

oh by the way i also need a lip balm can

you recommend one

our customers really love this burt’s

bees lip balm pomegranate flavor

smells good i’ll take these two also

i think that’s enough for lips

okay so let’s get over to the face part

is that okay

sure this is the part i have no idea

about

[Music]

after using moisturizer and sunscreen to

protect your skin

the first step is preparing your face

with primer

using primer under your makeup makes

your look last longer

do you know your skin type

i’m not sure but i usually have a bit of

oil around my nose and forehead but

other parts are normal

i think you have a combination skin type

for this type of skin i recommend nyx

marshmallow primer our best seller the

last month

how to apply primer

can i use my fingers

yes you pump out a bit of primer on the

back of your hand mix it with your

finger and dab it all over your face

then gently rub it in

okay i got it

i think your face doesn’t have many

flaws you don’t need concealer so let’s

move to the foundation

okay if you say so

this is a very important step to have a

perfect skin look i suggest these two

products

maybelline fit me or l’oreal true match

foundation

these light shades will suit your skin

tone you can try and tell me which one

you prefer

[Music]

let me see

i will take this maybelline one i prefer

the matte finish it seems to have a

better coverage also

right

after foundation you should apply

setting powder this step is optional but

if you’re looking for long lasting

crease free makeup you should use it

sure i want one anyway

whenever i need a quick makeup look

without foundation or reapplying during

the day i can use it

so why not use maybelline fit me powder

also great combo for your skin let’s

take this shade

115 ivory

okay

do you need contour and a highlighter to

make your face slimmer

no i think that’s too much for me i just

need basic kinds of stuff

okay so skip those things

you will surely need to blush i

recommend this l’oreal peach blush

powder

it has a refreshing peachy color and can

be easily matched with many makeup tones

this one is our signature blush recently

very lovely i will take it

i guess those are enough for your facial

makeup now let’s move to the eye part

[Music]

wow it seems a lot to me already

i know i know i had the same feeling

when i bought my first makeup kit

so you will need eyebrows eyeshadow

eyeliner and mascara

okay please help me choose something

easy to use i’m really not good at this

sure then use pencil type for eyebrows

and eyeliner

your hair is light brown so let’s take

these chocolate eyebrows and eyeliner

pencils from nyx

try this on your hand to see

that’s great really fits my hair color

give me these two

okay for mascara

trust me you will love this maybelline

one we have received really good reviews

from customers for it

sure then take this one

okay finally you need eye shadow do you

like any of these

this palette looks so gorgeous

right but that palette has kind of two

bright colors for you in my opinion

it will be difficult for you to mix with

daily makeup tones

because this is your first one i suggest

you should try a neutral tone

how about this one

same brand and product line from

revolution

let me see

it has 24 shades that give you

everything you need for your look

from light shimmers warm browns rich

golds rusty oranges and dark smoky

shades

this one looks great as well let me take

this then

okay

i think that’s all you need oh have you

had makeup brushes yet

no thanks for reminding me i need those

two

there are so many types of brushes what

type do i need

real techniques everyday essentials set

is all you need this one has four

brushes with a sponge

you can find the instructions to use

those brushes on the back of the

packaging but basically it is enough for

you to apply foundation to eyeshadow

thanks a lot for your help i can’t

imagine how long i will spend here

without your help there are too many

products to choose from

you’re welcome it’s my pleasure to help

you

here is your basket with all those

products

thank you

i will go to the checkout counter now

have a nice day

thanks you have a nice one too

nick told me a lot of things about you

and you seem to be my type of girl so i

was really excited

you were exactly how i imagined you to

smart funny and pretty

i actually fell in love with you at the

first sight

really

i didn’t know that

what did you think of me then

well to tell you the truth i thought you

were nice but

i wasn’t swept off my feet or anything

but

as we talked and learned more about each

other i was moved by how caring and

sincere you were

i felt like i would be very much happy

if i could be with you

i’m glad we finally got together in the

end

i’m grateful for every second i can

spend with you linda

i’m grateful to have you too tom i hope

[Music]

i used to

dot and finn are college students

they are working on a group essay and

now being at the university amphitheatre

hey finn

next friday is a deadline for our group

essay

where have you up to

i’ve completed my part what about you

the same

what about meeting tomorrow and complete

this essay

yes sure

i need a high grade in a class of

professor levine for my scholarship

where should we meet library coffee

house

the library is too quiet and the coffee

house

kind of noisy to me

what about my

apartment your apartment oh please it’s

a mess

it used to be but not anymore

come over and you will see

all right meet you at 2pm

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

hey finn

hey welcome

unbelievable

have your apartment been stolen

no silly

i have just rearranged a little

i had been stressed for a while my life

was a mess at that time

then i read a book on minimalism

recently and was inspired by it

does this tenant also include throw out

all of your equipment even television

and sofa

not really minimalism is intentionally

living with only the things you really

need

those items that support your purpose

removing the distraction of excess

possession so you can focus more on

those things that matter most

have to say i am feeling much better now

after removing all those unnecessary

things out of my life

and i have worked more efficiently now

but don’t you think it’s so inconvenient

it was at the first time but now i’m

used to it

it gives me more space for working and

exercising

the housework is quicker to finish

and i can also start to save money not

waste money on things anymore

if you are happy with it i’m glad to

hear

well at least your place looks really

neat now i’m comfortable with it

now let’s get to work

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

nas and sandy are college students and

have worked at a coffee store together

for two months

while naz is a hot and sexy girl

sandy is a bookworm chubby and

unattractive girl

this is 2pm at their workplace the

coffee shop

[Music]

what happened

i’ve seen you sighing all day

no it’s

that’s okay you won’t get it anyway

don’t you think you need to tell me at

first to know that

all right

i have a crush on this man and

well

he rejected me

[Music]

another one

i’m so sorry to hear that

that’s alright i am used to it

men don’t have interest in me not like

you

i don’t want to be rude but why do you

think that way

oh look at you

you are totally hot

the guy who just paid was trying to

flirt with you the whole lunch but you

just ignored him

it is not the first time happened

we have worked together for two months

and i have seen it a lot

just because my outlook makes you think

that i haven’t had a feeling like you

right now

oh please of course it is i bet guys go

after you for a thousand miles

oh my silly you overestimate me so much

of course i know for your feeling

i used to be like you before

you were

yeah here

that is you

can’t be recognized right

yeah

because of exceeding i used to be a fat

girl like that

and people kept making fun of me and got

away from me because of my outlook

until 18 i hadn’t had a boyfriend yet

what changed you

well of course i aware of my body at

that time but i just couldn’t have

enough determination to lose weight

then once when i and my friend were

walking on the street in the late night

we smelled some dangerous things and got

run

my friend was luckily escaped but not me

because of my overweight body i got

caught and was robbed of all my money

were you okay

yes i was all right luckily

so from that day i decided to lose

weight and become stronger

that way i could protect myself and

others

kickboxing miyatai taekwondo i have

learned all of it

and still keeping until now

that’s why i have this body

i was not born to be beautiful i worked

hard to get it do you get what i mean

stop complaining and start working

in fact

i mean i’m just a normal girl like you

but well

get that way is better

anyway sandy

you’re not ugly or too fatty you are

chubby and your face is good looking

i think all you need to do is be more

confident change in style a little bit

maybe

i mean it could be younger and sexier i

don’t know

depends on you

and well maybe you can start to work out

or learn a sport also

it’s good for your health

maybe you can be hard at the beginning

but by the time you will love it and be

used to it like me

you’re right i should start changing

about myself instead of a passive life

like this

thanks for your advice nas

[Music]

jamie and rose are friends

and jamie is a shopaholic

jamie is walking to his home carrying

packages of clothes and suddenly sees

now i will help you

but if you have all of my cards how can

i pay for my daily life

i will transfer you the daily spending

money by internet banking

it’s ridiculous you are not my mom

do you have any idea of paying all of

your debts

especially when you are still addicted

to shopping like this

but it is too inconvenient

well maybe but you have to get used to

you don’t have any choice

we will try it for a month and see the

results okay

kidding

why did you go out during your shift

customer at this time

i went to another shop to buy some sail

off items

my manager checked the camera and she

detected it

[Music]

reason

linda you should not be sad anymore i

believe that you’ll find another

suitable job soon

for you

lose your job right

equipment

i’m not sure tracy

i don’t think the items in there are of

good quality

they have used items

i bought many things there and they are

still good

you just need to be more careful when

selecting the products

okay let’s go now

wow tracy

it’s the first time i’ve come to a flea

market

there are a lot of things here

yes joey

you can find many useful items for

yourself

such as shoes furniture clothes

and so on

this song is so vibrant

i don’t know

people often perform musical instruments

here

this is an electronics store for you

let’s select the tv you want

[Music]

that black tv over there may suit me

excuse me can you introduce this tv

okay

i just bought it last month and it still

works well

you can access the internet on this tv

and also watch reality movies on it

why are you selling it

my son bought a better tv and i don’t

need to use that

he didn’t know i just purchased a new

one

i’ll give you all the warranty

information when you buy it

dialogue 2

bargain for the price

okay kevin how much does this tv cost

when i first bought it in the

supermarket the price was 500

so i want to sell it for 450 dollars

wow kevin

i think that price is too high

you’ve used it for a month before

selling it here

can you lower the price please

i swear that this tv is still like a new

one

you can check it carefully before

deciding to buy it

yes i know its quality is still good

but the price is still too high for me

how much can you pay for it

i’d like to buy for 300

i think it’s a reasonable price for both

of us

yeah i also think this price is okay

that is too low i can’t sell it to you

for this price

how about 350 dollars

hmm

let me think

okay

deal

easier

okay let me see

come in jim

wonderful

yes i like it too but i also love the

farm picture here

it’s so peaceful

luxurious

one hundred dollars for the picture

and twenty dollars for the vase

a hundred 120 dollars for both please

antique stores great
