Talking about Apartment

Jason：What do you think of^Œ this flat?

Alice：
It’s not really all that good. The bedroom is a little small for us.

Jason：Small but it should be enough for our needs, I think.

Alice：
But there’s no hot water after 10 at night. Sometimes I like to have a hot shower^? before bed, especially in the winter. It feels good.

Jason：
That’s true. But I love the living room; it’s huge and filled with sunshine^?.

Alice：True, and I like the kitchen. It’s new and well equipped^?.

Jason：It has a great balcony with an incredible view of the park.

Alice：
You’re right. The view is spectacular. But that bedroom is so small. We’d never be able to fit all of our stuff in there.

Jason：
Maybe we could get some new furniture. Better stuff.

Alice：I haven’t thought of that.

杰森：或許我們應(yīng)該買些新家具，更好的東西。
愛麗絲：我沒(méi)有想過(guò)。
