今天我们开始第一课“找房”初级阶段的上半部分。
写出文中划线部分缺少的句子即可,一句一段(注意句首大小写问题,每段最后不用加标点)。让我们开始今天的内容吧
Professor: Jeff is at an apartment building. He's meeting the landlord to ask about renting an apartment.
Professor Bowman, landlord这个词由是land─土地,和lord─主人组成的,应该就是房主的意思吧?
Professor: That's right, Winnie. ________________________.
Jeff: Hello, ___________________?
Landlord: Yes, _________________.
Jeff: What kind of apartment is it?
Landlord: _________________________.
我知道,"vacancy, v-a-c-a-n-c-y, vacancy"就是指等待出租的空房。Professor: Exactly. "Vacant" means "empty."
哦,vacant 是 vacancy 的形容词,意思是“空的”。现在Jeff 就是要找a vacant apartment. 房主说有一个一室一卫的公寓,听起来不错,可是不知道租金贵不贵。
Professor: Let's listen and find out.
Jeff: How much is the rent?
Landlord: _____________________.
Jeff: And how much is the deposit?
Landlord: The deposit is $500.
一个一居室的公寓每月要 1500 美元?够贵的!而且,为什么Jeff 还要交一笔deposit“押金”呢?
Professor: Well, ___________________________. In addition, he may have to pay utilities too. Let's listen.
Jeff: Are utilities included in the rent?
Landlord: Gas and water are included.
Jeff: ____________________?
Landlord: Yes, electricity is not included in the rent.
哦,看来Jeff 要自己负担一部分utilities, u-t-i-l-i-t-i-e-s,─“水电杂费”,因为房主说,房租里包括煤气费和水费,但是电费要单付。
Professor: Winnie, if the landlord says "all utilities are included," then the cost of gas, water and electricity will all be included in the rent. ____________________________.http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201203/201203280437471715113.mp3Now listen for the word "vacancy," which means "open" or "available"
do you have any vacancies
something just opened up
It's a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment
The rent is $1500 per month
if Jeff breaks something in the apartment, the landlord uses the deposit money to fix it
Do I have to pay for electricity myself
Remember, you don't have to say "gas utility" or "water utility." You can just say "gas" or "water"
