一年級上學期第一次英文期中考Oral Test

A and B (roommates) are looking at two ads for an apartment to rent because they are not happy with theirs. They are comparing all the reasons of their preferences, such as location, size, rent, privacy, parking spaces and so on. (At least three reasons) See Interchange unit 3 for your reference.

Sean: Catherine, I think we should rent another apartment… …Don’t you think so?

Catherine: Yeah… …I also think we should rent another one. Many things are broken after the small earthquake.

Sean: I really don’t understand… …why this first-level small earthquake could break the water pipe.

Catherine: The toilet also broken into apart… …And the roof is going to fall down!!

Sean: Because of this ridiculous stuff, I investigated apartments that are for rent. Here are two advertisements about them. Do you want to take a look?

Catherine: Of course! Let me see~ Hmmm… …Both of them are in the city and near Wenzao, right?

Sean: Yeah. I think it’s more convenient for us to go to school everyday.

Catherine: Yeah, yeah… …That’s true! Let me guess… …Apartment A which is next to Wenzao is more cramped than apartment B, right?

Sean: Yes! Correct~

Catherine: So… …How about the expenses of these two? Does apartment B has much more expenses than apartment A?

Sean: Yeah, maybe, because it’s more spacious.

Catherine: Ok. Can you tell me more about these two apartments?

Sean: Of course. Apartment A doesn’t have as many rooms as apartment B. But apartment B isn’t as safe as apartment A.

Catherine: Why? Apartment B doesn’t have a guard? Or there were thieves around the district?

Sean: Both, I think.

Catherine: Sean. How about the privacy? Which one has more privacy?

Sean: Apartment A doesn’t have enough privacy, because there are two neighbors on one floor. And we can have a whole floor if we rent apartment B.

Catherine: Ok, I think that’s all. Three advantages for apartment A and two advantages for apartment B.

Sean: In conclusion. We decide to rent apartment A, is that right?

Catherine: Yeah!! I will call the apartment keeper tomorrow. Thanks a lot.

Both: Thanks for your listening.
A B
Convenience: next to Wenzao near Wenzao
