But I need something closer to downtown, as I spent most of my time at the office.Leasing Agent: No problem. We have a nice apartment complex located in the downtown area. Its perfect for the business professional. Fully furnished luxury apartments, with a service staff in the lobby to take care of the trivial details of your home life while you are at work. Prospective Renter: Im sure theyre wonderful, but I need an unfurnished apartment in a more economical price range.Leasing Agent: Ah! I get the picture. We have just what you need. Our Riverside View apartments have several floor plans (建筑平面图). The junior one-bedroom apartments are very economical, but their layout makes great use of a small amount of space.

Ill call the complex manager and arrange a viewing at lunchtime.2. 重新装修 RedecoratingWife: Youre off to Home Depot again (又要去)?

Im just going to look at some of their building materials that are on sale and see if a new project comes to mind.Wife: Oh no! I hope you dont get one more project on your do-it-yourself list. Maybe while youre at the store you could pick up some weather stripping (门窗封闭材料)to winterize (使防冻,使御寒) our house. Husband: Honey, Im all for energy efficiency, but its only July! 我完全赞成Wife: Yes, but your to do list is so long! Maybe if you get started now, the winterizing project will get done by November.Husband: All right! Ill pick up some weather stripping, and Ill have it installed before you know it.3. 家庭改建 Home Improvement Woman: Im thinking of redecorating my bathroom. Were selling our house and we need to update the basic look.Store Clerk: Youve come to the right place, maam! In fact, if youve brought some photos of your bathroom, I can give you expert advice on redecorating and remodeling.Woman: Ive already decided that I should get a more modern color than the 1970s dull olive that is in my bathroom now. Im afraid that what I really need most is helpful tips on how to install new home appliances myself. Store Clerk: Weve got a great selection of (很多) neutral colors for the bathroom, with matching fabrics for curtains and linens. Woman: Great! A coordinated look reflects professional renovations. I think my house will sell quickly . Uh, once I get this big project finished, that is. 4. 搬家 Moving Out Son: Ive found the perfect apartment!

Lets go.6 别墅(2)Vacation property Husband: Ive been looking into vacation homes. I think we should consider buying one.Wife: How could we afford such a luxury?Husband: Think of it as an investment in our health, peace and enjoyment of life. Look at the picture of this beautiful and secluded lakeside property. Wife: What an amazing view! Still health and peace dont pay the bills.Husband: True, but its prime real estate with proven resale and high rental value. It would also be an investment in our future.Wife: And it is nice to get away from the daily grind now and again. Maybe we can afford it after all.Shopping 购物1. 冲动的顾客 Impulse ShopperWife: Jim, help me with these bags, will you?Husband: Honey, you must have bought out the whole place!

Couldnt you change your buying habits?Wife: I know I should stick to our budget (量入为出), but its hard to wait until we have enough money. I like instant gratification (即刻得到满足). I want what I want, and I want it now.Husband: Maybe I should go shopping with you next time.Wife: I dont know if that would work. You always get taken in by the free samples they hand out. 你总是上那些免费试吃品的当Husband: Thats because Im always hungry when we go grocery shopping.Wife: I have a good idea.

Last year he bought me a washing machine, and this week it was a new refrigerator.B: How does he pay for all that?A: Oh, thats easy. The store lets you buy them on credit, and they also have a great layaway plan. 分期付款购买法B: Well, I guess that explains why your kitchen and laundry room are so well equipped.A: B: 3. 花店 FloristFlorist: Can I help you?Nervous Teenager: Uh, yeah. Im going to the prom tomorrow, and I need to get something for my date.Florist: Would you like a bouquet (花束) or a corsage (胸前花饰)?Nervous Teenager: What do people usually get?Florist: Our floral arrangements (插花)might be too elaborate for a prom date. I think you should try a wrist corsage. It can be pinned on a jacket or worn on the wrist.Nervous Teenager: What color should I get? I dont know what color her dress isFlorist: I suggest white then. Why dont you come back and buy it tomorrow, so the flowers will be fresh?Nervous Teenager: Great! Ill be back tomorrow, then.4 礼品店 Gift ShopMary: Dan, youre a genius!

We can get him a get-well card while were at it. 祝愿康复卡Dan: Since its a gift shop, dont you think we should actually get a gift?Mary: They dont seem to have anything but teddy bears. I think thats a little to juvenile for Mr. Jones.Dan: Im going to do it anyway. Its a good joke. Can you imagine Mr. Jones curled up in bed with a teddy bear?Mary: There go your brownie points (因某事而获得赏识)! 你真是聪明。5 去购物中心 Going to the Shopping MallOld Brother: You want me to take you to the mall again? You practically live there!Younger Sister: Well, it would be a nice place to live.Old Brother: You could live there. I know theyve got a bank and a post office, but what could a kid like you care about that?Younger Sister: Its the whole mall experience. I like watching the mall walkers exercise in the morning, and the retired people drinking coffee at McDonalds in the food court. 美食广场Old Brother: So the huge collection of clothing shops - not to mention the guys that hang out in the mall - have nothing to do with it?Younger Sister: Well, I wouldnt say that. I suppose that is a small part of the attraction.6 在购物中心 At MallJulie: At the mall again, I see.Sue: Yes, I just dropped the kids off. (drop someone off, 把某人送走) Thought Id do a bit of shopping myself.Julie: Me, too. Im off to the department store.Sue: Those are too highbrow (高档的,不切实际的)for me.

Buying bulk (批量购买)doesnt just save money. It also means we can stock up (备货、囤积)on the basics. We wont have to go shopping for months.Wife: It may seem like you are saving money, but bulk prices arent always cheaper than sale prices at grocery stores. Ive done the research.Husband: Lets do both today, and then we can really compare. Wife: Good idea!Husband: Wife: 8 在仓储商店购物(2) Warehouse Shopping (2)Husband: Whew!

Now weve got to find a place to store all this. And Im sure well eat more because we have so much on hand. Ill never keep my figure. 保持体形Husband: OK, so there are some drawbacks. But we did save a lot of time. 缺点Wife: I think the bottom line is that its a good idea to shop the warehouse club once a month, but we shouldnt do all our shopping there.Staff : Member : Health and Beauty 健身与美容1. 加入健身俱乐部 Health Club Signing UpStaff : Ive noticed your membership is about to expire.
