1-- what's your apartment like?
2-- it's furnished two bedroom flat in a three-story building on campus.
1-- what is it like living in on-campus housing?
2-- it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The freshmen that live nearby are really loud, especially on the weekends. But, the rent is much cheaper than private housing, so it's worth it.
1-- did you have to pay a deposit?
2-- no, but we do have to pay 9 months rent in 6 months, so for the first months we pay 1/2 month's rent each month.
1-- do you have to pay utilities on top of your monthly rent?
2-- no, it's all included. Besides, students don't have to pay council tax, so we're saving quitea bit of money by living here.
1-- how long is your contract for?
2-- that's the bad thing---the contract ends in June, so we'll have to find a new apartment soon.
1-- have you started looking again yet?
2-- not yet. I'm hoping we'll be able to find something cheap once all the students leave the city for the summer.
1-- Good luck!

1--你租的房子怎么样?
2--在学校里面,是个三层楼里的两居室,有家具。
1--学校里面的房子怎么样?
2--比我想象的要好一点。住在附近的大一新生有点吵,尤其是周末。但是房租比外面的私人住宅要便宜得多,算是物有所值。
1--要付押金吗?
2--不需要,但是我们得在本年里付清9个月的房租,相当于在前半年里每月各付一个半月的租金。
1--水电费要单算吗?
2--不用,都是含在租金里的。而且,学生不用付房租税,所以说我们住在这儿又省下一笔钱。
1--你的合同什么时候到期?
2--这是最糟糕的事---合同6月就到期了,所以我们马上还得另找房子。
1--你现在已经开始找了吗?
2--还没呢。我希望到了夏天学生们一放暑假就都离开这儿了,到时候能找个便宜的房子。
1--祝你好运吧。
