Today's topic is something very real. Renting an apartment in English. Have you ever tried to rent a place but didn't know what to say in English? Don't worry. In this episode, you'll learn how to handle a real conversation step by step. I'm pretending a tenant and Jessica will pretend to be a landlord in this conversation. Hi, I saw your apartment online. Is it still available? Hi. Yes, it is. Are you looking to rent soon? Yes, I'm planning to move next month. Can I ask how much is the rent? Sure. It's $800 per month. Okay. Does that include utilities? Water is included, but electricity and internet are separate. I see. Is the apartment furnished? Yes, it comes with a bed, a sofa, and a small kitchen. That sounds good. Can I take a look at it? Of course. When are you available? I'm free this weekend. Great. Let's meet on Saturday morning. Perfect. One more thing. Is there a deposit? Yes, it's 1 month's rent. All right. Thank you. See you on Saturday. Wow, this place looks really nice. I'm glad you like it. The location is great, too. But to be honest, it's a bit expensive for me. I understand. The price includes water and furniture, so it's quite reasonable. H Is there any chance you could lower the rent? I can offer a small discount if you sign a long-term contract. That sounds fair. Let me think about it and get back to you. Sure, no problem. Let's go through some important expressions. One, is it still available means asking if it can still be rented. Two, how much is the rent means asking the price. Three, utilities included means electricity, water, internet. Four, furnished means comes with furniture. Five, deposit means money paid before renting. Six, take a look means visit and check. Repeat after me. One, is it still available? Two, how much is the rent? Three, are utilities included? Four. Can I take a look? Five. That's a bit expensive. Six. Let me think about it. Say it again more naturally. Imagine this. You want to rent an apartment.
