Hurry up, otherwise he will catch you.
Joe: Oh ,and Janet…Oh I thought you told me he wasn’t in? Janet: I’m sorry,Joe. I didn’t understand……

Janet: So why does your landlord want you to move out? Andy: Well, he’s been living abroad but he’s coming back. J: Sounds fair enough.
A: Sure, but it’s frustrating, because I’ve lived there for nearly two years now, and I quite like it. It’s just round the corner from where I was brought up.
J: Yes, it is kind of nice round there.
A: It’s really convenient for work, as it’s close to a tube station. And it’s fairly cheap, because it’s south of the river. J: So living south of the River Thames is cheaper?
A: Oh, yes, kind of. Generally north of the River is more expensive because public transport is better, and it always has been more fashionable.
J: But around Borough Market is very fashionable, isn’t it? A: Well, it’s fashionable now, but it didn’t used to be. J: Why is the transport better north of the river?
A: Well, the tube was first built in the centre and north of London. In the south, until a few years ago, there were only a couple of tube lines. Plenty of buses, but it’s always been an advantage to be close to a tube station. J: How about this? Three bedrooms vacant, large living room, no students, no pets.
A: Where is it? Ok, got it. That’s in Finsbury Park. That’s on the Victoria Line. Let’s give it a go.
A: Hello, yes ,I’m calling about the flat in today’s Evening Standard. Can you tell me something about it? …right, yeah, five minutes from the tube…two bedrooms still vacant…Ok, I see
…So, it’s 100 pounds but with electricity, gas and water bills to be paid on top. Can I come round to see it? Ok then, I’ll come round this evening. My name is Andy Harrison…yes, that’s right. Thanks a lot…see you this evening…Bye. J: Great!
A: It sound great! I’ll go and see it tonight. Do you want to come?
J: I’d love to.
珍妮特：那么为什么你的房东要你搬出去吗？
安迪：嗯，他一直住在国外，但他回来了。
听起来很公平。
当然，但这很令人沮丧，因为我已经在那里住了近两年了，我很喜欢它。它就在拐角处，从那里我长大了。
是的，那里有一个很好的圆。
工作很方便，因为它靠近地铁站。它相当便宜，因为它的南部的河流。
记者：所以住在河的南部是便宜的吗？
哦，是的，有点。一般来说，河的北部更贵，因为公共交通更为好，而且它一直都很时髦。
记者：但在博罗市场很时髦，不是吗？
哦，现在很流行，但这并不是。
为什么这条河的交通更北？
答：好的，这是第一次在伦敦市中心和北的地铁。在南方，在几年前，只有几条管道。许多公共汽车，但它始终是一个优势靠近地铁站。
这是怎样的？三间卧室空置，大客厅，没有学生，没有宠物。
那是哪里？好了，得到它。那是在芬斯伯里公园。这是关于维多利亚线。让我们给它一个去。
你好，是的，我在今天晚上的标准里打电话给我。你能告诉我一些关于它的事吗？??对了，五分钟从管??2间卧室还空??好，我看
??如此，它的100磅，但与电力，天然气和水的费用要支付的顶部。我可以来看看吗？好吧，我今晚就来。我的名字是哈里森安迪?是的，这是正确的。谢谢很多??见你今晚??再见。
伟大的！
听起来很不错！我今晚去看看。你要来吗？
我很想去。
