M: Hi Come in.
W: Hi. I stopped by to see if you were still looking for a roommate to share your house．
M: Sure，I am. Ever since I cut back on my working hours to go to school，I’ve really had a tight budget．Let me show you the place．Here’s the living room．
W: Oh．It looks like you could use a new carpet…and those stains?
M: Well．I know it needs to be cleaned, but I just don’t have the money to do it right now．
W: And what about the kitchen?
M: Right this way．Look．It’s completely furnished with all the latest appliances except…
W: What?
M: Well, the refrigerator door is broken and it won’t shut all the way. It needs fixing, but don’t worry. I’ve just pushed a box against it to keep it shut.
W: Great.
M: Ah. It isn’t that bad.
W: Well, how about the bathroom?
M: Well....It is fine, but, uh, the tiles in the bathroom need to be replaced, and the window needs fixing.
W: Let me see. The tile.., what? The window? Where’s the window pane?
M: 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 on the heat.
W: Hey, I think I’ve seen enough. I can’t believe you’ve survived under these conditions.
M: 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.
W: No, thank you. I think I’ve seen enough.
