150? No, I'm not really interested in this place. It isn't big enough. It isn't near enough to my office.

Rents are very high in downtown area. Last week I rented a lovely room to live in.

It's quite a nice size and I liked the light green paint very much. The most satisfatory thing is that it has a garden and I can sit in it and relax. The kitchen is big enough, and the fireplace has enough central heating. The bathroom is well-decorated and the facilities are new. The land lady told me some house rules. she said smoking in the room is not allowed and I agreed. in general, I feel very lucky to rent such a house to live in.

Hazil is going to paint hers green. and Peter is going to paint his blue.There's one other bedroom, my wife's and mine, opposite the other two. It has brown and white walls. This afternoon the house was almost empty, there's almost no furniture in it. neither the dining room nor the living room has any chairs or tables. There are no carpets on the floors anywhere. There aren't any beds in the bedrooms. but there's a television in the kitchen, and it works. My wife is watching it. All of us are waiting for the furniture. We telephoned it about three hours ago. and it'll never come. Ahh, what's that? The telephone is ringing. Mr, Evan, we can't find the house. Where's it please?
