L: what's your apartment like?

H: it's furnished two bedroom flat in a three-story building on campus.

L: what is it like living in on-campus housing?

H: it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The freshmen that live nearby are really loud, especially on the weekends. But, the rent is much cheaper than private housing, so it's worth it.

L: did you have to pay a deposit?

H: no, but we do have to pay 9 months rent in 6 months, so for the first months we pay 1/2 month's rent each month.

L: do you have to pay utilities on top of your monthly rent?

H: no, it's all included. Besides, students don't have to pay council tax, so we're saving quitea bit of money by living here.

L: how long is your contract for?

H: that's the bad thing---the contract ends in June, so we'll have to find a new apartment soon.

L: have you started looking again yet?

H: not yet. I'm hoping we'll be able to find something cheap once all the students leave the city for the summer.

L: Good luck!

你租的房子怎么樣?

在學(xué)校里面，是個(gè)三層樓里的兩居室，有家具。

學(xué)校里面的房子怎么樣?

比我想象的要好一點(diǎn)。住在附近的大一新生有點(diǎn)吵，尤其是周末。但是房租比外面的私人住宅要便宜得多，算是物有所值。

要付押金嗎?

不需要，但是我們得在本年里付清9個(gè)月的房租，相當(dāng)于在前半年里每月各付一個(gè)半月的租金。

水電費(fèi)要單算嗎?

不用，都是含在租金里的。而且，學(xué)生不用付房租稅，所以說(shuō)我們住在這兒又省下一筆錢(qián)。

你的合同什么時(shí)候到期?

這是最糟糕的事---合同6月就到期了，所以我們馬上還得另找房子。

你現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)開(kāi)始找了嗎?

還沒(méi)呢。我希望到了夏天學(xué)生們一放暑假就都離開(kāi)這兒了，到時(shí)候能找個(gè)便宜的房子。

祝你好運(yùn)吧。
