Alice, Tim and Helen are showing their possible new flatmate around the flat. He seems to like it, but is the rent going to be a problem?
| Helen: | So that’s Tim’s room, the bathroom’s over there, and your bedroom is here. It’s got a desk and chair and all that, so you shouldn’t need any more furniture. |
| Khalid: | Ok, that looks ok. erm, what do you guys do about housework? |
| Alice: | Everybody kind of chips in, don’t they Tim? |
| Tim: | Yes, Alice, we all do our bit. |
| Alice: | We keep all the cleaning stuff in this cupboard here. |
| Khalid: | Ok, I see. |
| Helen: | So, what do you think? |
| Khalid: | It’s a very nice room, and you guys are great and everything, but I have to say, I think it’s a little bit pricey. I wonder if it would be possible to reduce the rent a little bit? |
| Helen: | Well, I’m afraid it isn’t up to me Khalid, I’ll have to ask my dad about that. |
