M: I feel sorry for you. It’s a jungle out there.

H: Do you know any places?

M: well. I guess I can ask around to see if anyone’s got a room or apartment available.

H: thank you. I think I should also have a look at the Internet to see if anyone’s got a sublet.

M: how much do are you looking to spend?

H: I can only afford about 1,000 yuan a month.

M: looks like you’ll have to get a place in the suburbs.

H: it doesn’t matter, but it needs to be close to the subway or on a convenient bus route.

M: anything you need to have in the place?

H: I want a bedroom with full bath, and it’ll be better if the bedroom is on the sunny side.

M: you can also check out university bulletin boards.

H: why? Will those be students who are leaving?

M: not really, but landlords put up notices to attract students and they often have low rent.

H: thank you. I’ll be sure to take a look.

M: good luck.
