[originaltext] W: Good afternoon, how can I help you? M: Good afternoon. U

W: Good afternoon, how can I help you?
   M: Good afternoon. Umm, I heard you help fix up students with host families.
   W: That’s right. Well, please sit down and I’ll just take a few details.
   M: Thank you.
   W: What’s your name?
   M: David Lee.
   W: Right... and what is your present address?
   M: Sea View Guest House, 14 Hill Road.
   W: OK, and do you know the phone number there?
   M: Yes ... I have it here, ummm ... 2237676, but I’m only there after about 7 p.m..
   W: So when would be the best time to catch you?
   M: I suppose between 9 and, let me see, half-past, before I leave for the college.
   W: Great. And how long would you want to stay with the host family?
   M: I’m planning on staying a year but at the moment I’m definitely here for four months only. I have to get an extension to my permit.
   W: You’re working on it? Fine ... and what will be your occupation while you’re in the UK?
   M: Studying English?
   W: And what would you say your level of English is?
   M: Umm. Good, I think I’d like to say ’advanced’, but my written work is below the level of my spoken. So I suppose it’s intermediate.
   W: Certainly your spoken English is advanced. Anyway, which area do you think you would prefer?
   M: Ummm, well I’m studying right in the centre but I’d really like to live in the north west.
   W: That shouldn’t be a great problem ... we usually have lots of families up there. And do you have any particular requirements for diet?
   M: Well, I’m nearly a vegetarian ... not quite.
   W: Shall I say you are? It’s probably easier that way.
   M: That would be best.
   W: Anything about your actual room?
   M: I would prefer my own facilities — ’en suite’, is that right? And also if it’s possible a TV and I’d also like the house to have a real garden rather than just a yard, somewhere I could sit and be peaceful.
   W: Is that all?
   M: Well ... I’m really serious about improving my English, so I’d prefer to be the only guest if that’s possible?
   W: No other guests ... Yes, you get more practice that way. Anyway, obviously all this is partly dependent on how much you’re willing to pay. What did you have in mind?
   M: I was thinking in terms of about ￡ 60- ￡ 80 a week, but I’d go up to a hundred if it was something special.
   W: Well, I don’t think we’d have any problems finding something for you.
   M: Oh, good.
   W: And when would you want it ?
   M: I’d like to move in approximately two weeks.
   W: Let me see, it’s the 10th today ... so if we go for the Monday it’s the 23rd March.
   M: Yes.
   W: Right... good.
