　　第二天 Apartment Hunting
　　Bill is looking for a new apartment. He just moved to a new city in order to start studying at a university. He is at a Rental Agency in the new city.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
　　Agent： Hi！ Welcome to Rental Property Management. How may I help you？
　　Bill： Hi， yes. I'm interested in renting a two-bedroom apartment.
　　Agent： Okay. If you have a seat， one of our rental agents will be with you in a moment.
　　Bill： Thank you.
　　Associate： Hi， my name is Ann Smith.
　　Bill： Hi， I'm Bill Harrington.
　　Ann： Hi， Mr. Harrington. So that we will be able to match your needs better， I would like to ask you a few questions before I show you what we have available. First， what price range were you interested in？
　　Bill： Somewhere between $400-$450 a month.
　　Ann： Okay. Did you have a specific location in mind？
　　Bill： Well， I would like to live somewhere near the university. Or at least on a bus line.
　　Ann： And when would you like to move in？
　　Bill： On the first of the month.
　　Ann： Okay. Are there any other amenities which you would like to have？ For example， a dishwasher， a balcony， a swimming pool or central air conditioning？
　　Bill： I would definitely like to have a dishwasher， and with summers like these， central air！ A balcony is not that important. Oh， yes， and two bathrooms would be nice.
　　Ann： Okay. Here are photos of the apartments we have available which fit your preferences.
　　Bill： Thank you. This one on Broadway Avenue looks nice. I would like to see that one. And the one on Main Street.
　　Ann： Sure. Let me get the keys and we will go look at them. If you choose to rent one of them， we will need a damage deposit of $250. You will be responsible for all the utilities. You can sign a lease today， if you like.
　　Bill： Great！ Thank you.
