Sarah: Hello, Mr. Willis? My name is Sarah Ivanovic. Are you the 1 of Mount Ellis Apartments?

Superintendent: Yes, I am.

Sarah: I'm calling about the apartment for rent. I saw the 2 in yesterday's paper.

Superintendent: Oh, yes.

Sarah: Can you tell me about the apartment?

Superintendent: Yes, it's a spacious apartment with a nice 3 of the river. It has a large living room, a dining area, two bedrooms, a large bathroom and a nice sunny kitchen. There are also laundry 4 on each floor of the building.

Sarah: Is there a balcony?

Superintendent: Yes, there's one with this particular apartment. Not all of the apartments in the building have balconies, though.

Sarah: That's good. I really want a balcony. Does it come with any 5 ?

Superintendent: Yes, it does. It comes with a stove, 6 and dishwasher. The rent is $850.00 a month plus a damage deposit of $850.00.

Sarah: Does that include 7 ?

Superintendent: Yes, it does. Underground parking is extra, though. That's $45.00 a month for one parking 8 . How many persons will be renting?

Sarah: Just two of us - my husband and me. His name is Mark Foley. Is it possible to view the apartment this evening or some other time in the evening during the week?

Superintendent: Sure, just let me check my 9 schedule. Uh-h, how about tomorrow evening at 7:15 pm?

Sarah: That would be fine.

Superintendent: May I have your last name again, please?

Sarah: It's Ivanovic. I-V-A-N-O-V-I-C.

Superintendent: Thank you, Sarah. I'll be expecting you. Just press the intercom 10 beside apartment #3. I'll let you in the building.

Sarah: Thanks so much. My husband and I will see you tomorrow.
