Unit 15: Apartment Living

2. Let’s Listen
1.
A: What’s your apartment like, Ken?
B: It’s comfortable, but it’s pretty small. It’s only got one room.
A: Really? Don’t you have a bedroom?
B: No, I sleep in the living room.
A: What about your dog?
B: She sleeps in the living room, too! Right next to me.
2.
A: What’s your new apartment like, Celia?
B: It’s really big. I love it. A: How many rooms does it have?
B: Lots. It’s got two bedrooms, a living room, and a huge kitchen and bathroom.
A: Sounds great. So, when can I come and stay with you?
3.
A: Do you like your apartment, Joe?
B: Not really. It’s very small.
A: Really?
B: Yeah, just one bedroom and a living room.
A: That isn’t so small. How many people live with you?
B: Seven! A: Seven! Wow!
4.
A: Do you live with your sister, Ellen?
B: Yes, I do. A: What’s your place like?
B: It’s nice. It’s got two bedrooms, a big one and a small one.
A: That’s great.
B: Yes, but I’ve got the small one.
A: Oh.

1.
A: Does the kitchen have everything you need, like a stove and a refrigerator?
B: It’s got a stove but it doesn’t have a refrigerator. I need to buy one.
2.
A: You don’t have a bed in your bedroom?
B: No bed. Just a TV. I sleep on a mattress on the floor.
A: Really?
3.
A:We don’t have much furniture yet. We don’t even have a sofa in the living room.
B: Hey. I’ve got one I can sell you.
A: Really? Great.
4.
A: The bathroom is very small. Just a shower and a toilet.
B: You can come and take a bath at my place any time.
A: Thanks, I probably will.

1. The bookshelf looks really good in the living room. And the TV is just fine. When I find a stereo, I’m going to put it in the bookshelf. I don’t have a stereo now because I want to find a cheap one. I’m going to check out the sales next week. I’ve got a dinner table, but I still need a sofa. Now I have to sit at the dinner table to watch TV. My living room is small, so I want a small sofa.

2. If you have an old bookshelf you aren’t using, I’d be really happy to buy it! I haven’t been able to find one that is the right size. All the ones I looked at were too big. Right now there are books all over the floor. But I managed to pick up a really good TV and stereo at a yard sale last weekend. I still need to find a dinner table. All the ones I looked at in the stores were too expensive.


3. I was thinking about getting a bookshelf, but I don’t have many books yet, so I guess I can wait. I was lucky. I got a really cheap used TV the other day. It only cost $50 and it works really well. It’s nice to have something to watch. Right now I don’t have enough money to buy a stereo. The dinner table is very nice and big enough for six people. I bought a cheap sofa, too. It’s really comfortable.

4. The bookshelf is good, though it’s probably a little too big for the living room. I need a TV, but I’m waiting for the new models. I have a good stereo. So that’s good. However, I still haven’t bought a dinner table. I saw a great one last week. The sales clerk said that they’re having a big sale next week, so I’m waiting for that. For now, I’m eating my meals while sitting on the sofa
