Listening 1 Phoning anAgency for a Flat Share打电话给房屋中介找分租公寓

英语听力原文：
Estate Agent: Brighton Estate Agent, how can I help you?
Marisa: Well, I'm looking for a furnished flat close to the University of Sussex.
EA: Right, urm, do you have any particular area in mind?
M: No, actually, I'm quite new to Brighton. What I'm looking for is a furnished flat within walking distance of the university or I don't mind commuting by train if it's within a half hour or so.
EA: What type of accommodation are you looking for? An entire flat just for you or...
M: I'm looking for a room to rent.
EA: All right, so you don't mind sharing the bathroom and kitchen with others.
M: No. Not at all. And about the rent, say ￡100 inclusive per week is the max. Mod cons such as a washing machine and microwave are a must.
EA: OK, is there anything else you need?
M: Oh, yes, I'm allergic to cats but dogs are OK.
EA: OK, we've got some flats which may suits you. When would you like a viewing?
M: How about tomorrow? Say tenish? EA? No problem. Now, may I have your name, please?
M: Marisa Evans. M-A-R-I-S-A and E for Edward, V for volleyball, A for apple, N for navy and S for Steve.
EA: Ok, Marisa, the see you tomorrow around 10 in the morning. Thank you for calling. Bye.
M: Bye.
