[Music]
[Music]
good afternoon you are john smith aren’t
you
i am you must be mrs green nice to meet
you
please just call me susan
all right susan so what can you tell me
about your apartment
well this is quite a small building but
don’t worry
because there are not many apartments so
space might be good for you
also the location is close to a
convenience store
several grocery stores and a patrol
station
wow seems like an ideal location
it is now please follow me inside i will
show you the apartment
[Music]
oh it is really spacious
right and it has a living space with a
separate kitchen
one master bedroom and a guest bedroom
like you want
are they furnished unfortunately no
but the guest bedroom has a bed and a
bedside table
oh but on the bright side
you can decorate the apartment however
you want that’s good right
yes i guess great now come on
you might want a closer look into all of
the rooms
let’s start with the kitchen shall we
let’s go
all right so as you can see the kitchen
has pretty much
everything that you need for cooking
a stove an oven and even a microwave
not the best one but it’s in good
condition
they look good enough for me i’m glad to
hear that
and there you have two cupboards a sink
with hot and
cold tap wow that will make washing
dishes and winter a lot easier
that’s what it is for very convenient
right
indeed and you have a small balcony here
with a washing machine and other
appliances for laundry
unfortunately you will have to pay an
extra fee for this
but i recommend using it because it’s
more affordable
than going to the laundromat oh
i definitely will i don’t like going to
the laundromat
at all i understand
well that’s all for this area
[Music]
the living room doesn’t have any
furniture
but the window here has a very nice view
please
take a look you’re right
the street can be seen clearly and all
the skyscrapers too
it looks beautiful
that’s one of the most amazing things in
this apartment
and after you move in you can decorate
it and whatever you want to
it’s going to be even more pretty
i like it a lot lastly there are two
bathrooms
one is included in the large bedroom and
one next to the guest bedroom
in the corridor both are fully equipped
with showers
sinks toilets etc
you just need to arrange your toiletries
there and you’re done
really i appreciate that a lot well i
like this apartment
it’s spacious and convenient i think i’m
going to buy it
well i’m glad it suits your taste i’m
happy you decided to buy it
follow me i’ll get the paperwork ready
all right
[Music]
welcome to my house
hi welcome to my house
thank you thank you
wow your place is so beautiful
it is nice to hear that
you told me it was renovated three times
right
three times how long have you and your
family been living here
since i was four it’s about 14 years
already
wow that’s a really long time
it is but my parents don’t want to move
because of the location
it’s in the bustling part of the city
plus it’s near my school
and my parents workplace
but why does it have to be renovated
that many times
it’s just my dad he doesn’t like
some features of the apartment from time
to time so he decided to fix them
oh i see oh
there’s a piano here is it yours
yes it is i haven’t played in a while
though
so i must be a little rusty
but if you want to hear i guess i can
still manage a simple song
oh well i would love to
[Music]
i really like your house can you show us
around
of course so you’re standing in the
living room
here’s the couch that my dad made
himself and he’s pretty proud of it
the opposite is the tv and speakers
these flowers are so beautiful
yes it’s large and has so many flowers
it took me and my mom almost two hours
in the flower market to find the best
one
it was worth it and i that everyone will
love that
as well thank you
well to the left there’s this small
balcony
but my dad turned it into his garden
your dad did a lot of things to this
apartment didn’t he
but i like it i’ve always loved plants
this requires a lot of effort
my mom and i also have to keep an eye
out for these pots
regularly it’s true
you have to be really careful and
dedicated if you own a garden
my dad said the same thing too now let’s
come in
i’ll show you to the kitchen
okay
[Music]
so here it is it’s simple a table of
ford
chairs and a cooking area
it’s minimalistic right so nice
yes my mom likes the kitchen to be as
simple as possible
oh my dad recently bought a washing
machine too
that’s really cool i have to tell my dad
to get one too
me too i like cooking a lot but washing
the dishes is not
fun at all i
completely agree that’s why we got it
just a little less work to do
and here’s a small room that my dad uses
to work and it has a window here that
allows you to
look at the kitchen i can’t let you guys
in
of course but there’s not much to look
at it’s really boring
i see so where’s your room
right this way
wow it’s not very large but it looks
really nice
thank you the tv is opposite the bed
so you can watch it while lying on your
bed so convenient
it’s true and you have such a huge
bookshelf
i know you like books but i didn’t think
that you have this
many actually not all of them are books
look at the third section of the shelf
oh are these albums you have quite a lot
yes they are all bts albums most are
rewards for my parents
but some i bought with my own money i
earned from part-time jobs
nice and on the left it’s my study
corner
simple next to the tv is my vanity
and that’s all you have quite a lot of
stuff lisa
yes i do my mom always complains about
being
messy but it’s not easy to clean my room
every day when i have so many things
i only do that once a week i
think i do it only once a month
you’re a boy scott there’s a difference
okay fair enough opposite my room is a
bathroom
and my parents room is at the end of the
corridor
there’s a bathroom in there too but i
can’t let you guys in but the bathroom
is really large and there’s a massive
bathtub
wow your house has so many cool things
yes because my dad likes a modern house
he seems to be the decision maker in
your family right
not really just when it comes to the
house
my mom is actually the real boss
now let’s get back to the living room i
want you guys to taste the cheesecake
that i made earlier
oh i can’t wait
