Visiting the apartment My idea in this entry is to simulate a possible conversation between the owner of an apartment and me. The thing is that I would be the person who wants to rent the flat and the owner is gonna show it to me. I'd like to exemplify a natural talk in english. Owner (O), Me (M). M- Good morning. I'm XXXX. I'm the one who called you yesterday to see the flat. O- Yes, of course, come in. M- Thank you. O- Well, so this is the hall. There is a hanger and a broom cupboard right there. M- Nice, they're useful. O- And the two rooms and the bathroom are on both sides of the corridor. M- Oh, there is no window in the bathroom. It's a shame. I think it's important to air it out. O- Yes, my wife always was harping on about that. But I don't really think it's essential. M- Well, never mind... O- On this side are the bedrooms, they are pretty big. M- Yes! They are two big and luminous bedrooms. I like it. But the windows don't shut properly. And it seems it's noisy at night, doesn't it? O- In truth, it wasn't a problem for us after all. M- Ok. O- The living room and the kitchen are right there, at the end of the corridor. The kitchen is fully equiped: washing machine, dishwasher, oven, microwave, fridge, etc. M- Nice. However, I've being noticing that there are no hetears in the flat. I'm afraid it's an important problem. Is there no central heating? O- No, but you can connect electric heaters if you want. M- Yes, but the bill would increase too much. I have to think it over.

Visiting the apartment

My idea in this entry is to simulate a possible conversation between the owner of an apartment and me. The thing is that I would be the person who wants to rent the flat and the owner is going to show it to me. I'd like to exemplify a natural talk conversation in english.

Owner (O), Me (M).

M- Good morning. I'm XXXX. I'm the one who called you yesterday to see the flat.
O- Yes, of course, come in.
M- Thank you.
O- Well, so this is the hall. There is a hanger and a broom cupboard right there.
M- Nice, they're useful.
O- And the two rooms and the bathroom are on both sides of the corridor.
M- Oh, there is no window in the bathroom. That's a shame. I think it's important to air it out.
O- Yes, my wife always was harping on about that. But I don't really think it's essential.
M- Well, never mind...
O- The bedrooms are on this side, they are pretty big.
M- Yes! They are two big and luminous bedrooms (This is correct but a litle awkward and formal. Maybe saying 'They're big bedrooms and get a lot of natural light' or 'they're very bright' something like that sounds more natural).. I like it. But the windows don't shut properly, and it seems it's noisy at night doesn't it?
O- The truth is, it wasn't a problem for us at all.
M- Ok.
O- The living room and the kitchen are right there, at the end of the corridor. The kitchen is fully equiped: washing machine, dishwasher, oven, microwave, fridge, etc.
M- Nice. However, I've being noticing that there are no heaters in the flat. I'm afraid that's a big problem. Is there no central heating?
O- No, but you can connect electric heaters if you want.
M- Yes, but the bill would increase too much. I have to think it over.

Very well written! The use of 'harping on' was really good!

---

* What do you mean by 'hanger'?

** Unless you were to visit the flat at night, you wouldn't know for sure if it would be noisy at this time. Therefore, it may be better to say "It seems like it would be noisy at night(, wouldn't it?)".
