hey olivia what are you doing i am looking for an apartment to rent really same here

since my parents house is so far away i need to find an apartment closer to school i thought you were going to stay at the

dorm

i still have not decided whether to stay at the dormitory or not i am looking at different options to

find the best ones suited to me so what are you looking for

i just need a small room with a bed a desk and a tv of course the place should have a

kitchen so that i can cook my meals

i will be living on a very tight budget and will have to watch every time me too a simple and decent apartment is

all i need school is going to start next month so i should find something as soon as possible it is not easy to find a cheap apartment

that suits your needs i have been looking at the ads for two weeks and i still haven't found anything yet

everything i like so far is too expensive and way beyond my reach yeah the closer they are to school the

higher the rental cost since i don't have a car i need to find something close to school how about sharing an apartment

if you want we can find a two-bedroom apartment and share it it may be cheaper that way

that could solve our problem do you want to try it yes that's a terrific idea

hello hello can i speak with mr johnson please this is matthew johnson speaking my name is olivia moore and i'm calling

about the apartment for rent on spring street would you be interested in seeing the apartment yes my friend sarah and i would love to

see it i was wondering if the apartment is located in a nice area as a matter of fact the apartment is in

a wonderful location what surrounds the apartment there are many stores and restaurants surrounding the apartment

i promise you that you will love the location from what you're telling me it sounds like we will

is there an elevator in the building yes there is

wonderful when can we come over to visit the apartment are you free today at around 5 pm

yes we will be able to make it then well i'll see you at 5 pm do you know how to get there

yes we do okay see you then

welcome to the apartment thank you mr johnson so this is the apartment it has a small

kitchen two bedrooms and one large bathroom with washer and dryer take a look around

apartment is exactly what we're looking for how much is the rent

it's 725 each month and i require a 12 month lease you'll need to pay the tenancy deposit and the first month's rent

how much is the tenancy deposit it's one month's rent so 725 dollars so we need to pay fourteen hundred and

fifty dollars that's right is all the furniture included yes it is

can we redecorate the place ourselves or paint a room if we want to yes you can but you shouldn't change the appearance of the property significantly

are utilities included in the rent water sewage garbage and internet are all included in the rent you have to pay for electricity and cable

that's a very good deal what is the closest public transportation there are three bus lines right across the street

we are students so we need a quiet

apartment to be able to study is this a quiet building yes it's a very quiet building

everything sounds great i love the apartment and it's very close to school what do you say sarah i love it too

let's sign the lease

sarah what are your interests

i usually spend my leisure time reading books or playing sports i like reading new and trending novels

and my favorite genres include suspense and thriller novels which sport do you like most basketball but i also like swimming and

rollerblading

i love rollerblading too it's super fun wonderful we can go to a roller skating rink together

sure you can count on it what's something you can do well something i can do well

um i think i'm a good people person i can go up and talk to people easily

what's something you can't do well i can't cook well yet but i'm working on it i hope to be able to make some progress

soon what about you i can cook really well so i can teach you a lot of recipes

but i don't know how to dress well i have no style i wish i knew how to create harmonious outfits

don't worry fashion is my thing so i can give you some tips on how to be stylish and dress well

really that would be awesome what usually makes you angry um if someone spreads false rumors about

me or someone talks behind my back it makes me angry i know what you mean i get angry when

someone tries to underestimate me without knowing me have you ever worked yes during the summer i usually get a

part-time job have you no i haven't what do your parents do

my dad is a mechanic my mother is a nurse

oh no there's a leak in the pipe yes i noticed a few minutes ago i'm tightening the pipe but it doesn't

seem to work and the toilet won't flush shall we call mr johnson

yes i'm going to call him right away and let him know about this

hello hello mr johnson it's sarah here we are having some plumbing problems in

our bathroom and need them fixed can you send a plumber out to our apartment today of course but first let's find out what

the problems are well to start there is a leak in the sink did you try tightening the pipes

yes i did but it still leaks okay what other problems are there

the toilet isn't working is the toilet clogged does it flush no it doesn't flash properly

then it might be a clock that's right i tried using a plunger but that didn't work

have you used any drain cleaner yes i have but it still didn't work and the last problem is the low water

pressure in the shower i'll have someone come down to fix it right away okay thank you mr johnson

we've been living here for three months now and there's been constant noise in this building i can't take this anymore

me neither we must talk to the landlord and make a complaint

now what's the problem girls why did you want to speak with me for three months now we've been putting up with constant noise due to repair

work on the building exterior some repair work had to be done on the facade and balconies and it will certainly improve the overall appearance

of the building but there has been constant banging and jackhammering for three months now

because of the extreme noise we're frequently forced to leave the building

we can't study under these circumstances if you'll remember we clearly stated from the beginning that we needed a quiet building

i'm sorry about that but the good news is it won't last forever we should have been informed about that before we signed our lease

i do apologize for the inconvenience but there's nothing i can do about it when we agreed to rent the apartment we were led to believe that we were moving

into a quiet building under normal circumstances it is a very quiet building perhaps you should contact the

management company who is overseeing the repair work but we signed the lease with you not them

well if you want to move out you are free to do so and i suppose we'll have to pay a penalty for breaking the lease right yes that's right

i don't think that's fair at all so what do you expect me to do now legally we are entitled to a compensation for loss of peaceful

enjoyment you've been lucky to find this apartment with such a cheap rent i think you should appreciate that we could go to arbitration but we'd

prefer to settle with you i suppose i could offer you a 10 reduction for now until you move out

actually we were thinking of a 25 i'm sorry that's too much

like i said we could go to arbitration okay fine it's a deal

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
