Sylvia: So
what's your new apartment like?
Tyler: It's great. It's got two bedrooms,
a living room, a nice kitchen... and it's got
a really great view.
Sylvia: Sounds nice. How much is the
rent?
Tyler: The rent's only $180 a week. It's
pretty good.
Sylvia: Yea, that's good value. So will
you miss your old place?
Tyler: What, me? No, my last apartment
was really bad. The hot water was broken, there
was a big hole in the wall, and the neighbors
were really noisy.
Sylvia: No wonder you wanted a new place!
Tyler: Yea, now I've got a better part-time
job, so I can finally afford a better apartment.
Sylvia: That's great news.

Sylvia: What
do you need for your apartment?
Tyler: Well, the kitchen's OK, it's got
a good refridgerator, a gas range, even an old
dishwasher.
Sylvia: OK, and what about the rest?
Tyler: Well, the sofa and chairs are
really old. Maybe I'll buy some second-hand
chairs.
Sylvia: I've got some old chairs I don't
need. You can have them if you want.
Tyler: Really? That'd be great.
Sylvia: Sure, I need the space so just
take them.
Tyler: Well, that's really generous.
Sylvia: No problem.
