(script in Student Book on p.121)

B Let’s go upstairs. Follow me…Be careful. The ceiling is very low here.

L It’s a very old house.

B Yes, the house is 300 old. My family lived here for nearly eighty years. There are six bedrooms. This was my father’s bedroom.

K Is there heat in the house?

B Yes, there is. Why do you ask? Are you cold?

K Yes, it’s very cold in here.

L That’s because we’re from California.

B Let’s go and see the other bedrooms.

L Yes, of course.

L Well, what do you think, Kim? I love it! Don’t you?

K I’m not sure. There’s something about the house I don’t like.

L Kim, it’s perfect for the kids. Think of the yard. And it’s a real, authentic country house. What do you say?

K I guess so. If you’re sure.

L I am sure! Miss…uh, Barbara. We want it. We want to rent the house.

B Excellent.

L When can we move in?

B As soon as you like.
