M: I’m thinking of moving nearer to the university. Do you think you can help?
W: Well, I guess one thing I can do is to ask around for you and see if anyone has the vacancy. But as far as I can remember, you moved into the student’s dorm only three months ago. How do you like it so far?
M: Forget it. I just can’t concentrate in the dorm. You see, I’ve got four essays to do. But how can I concentrate with everyone else talking.. .playing cards.. .and... practicing guitar?
W: Well, you could work in the university library.
M: I could, yes. That’s perfectly true. But you know I not only need to sit down and write, I also need to think. And to think, I need to be able to wander around, smoke, be on my own, be sort of free to do as I like.
W: How many students share your dorm room?
M: Living here in this dorm with how many others? — Five. There are constant interruptions. You’re okay —there’s only one person sharing your room.
W: Don’t believe it’s totally ideal. It’s anything but ideal for a quiet life.
M: I can’t just tell the others to shut up. They have their rights, too.
W: Perhaps you should look for a small apartment of your own. Mind you, it’ll cost a lot more than the dorm rent you’re paying at the moment.
M: I know, but I have to move out.
W: Wait a minute, have you thought of.. .of asking at the university accommodation office? They should know of some available apartments.
M: Ah.. .Right. I should have thought of that in the first place.
