Exercise 2 LISTENING 19 page 40
1 Estate agent Good morning. Can I help you?
Man Yes. I’m looking for a two-bedroom flat near the town centre.
Estate agent Right, OK. Well, we don’t have very much at the moment.
There’s this one…here are the details.
Man Thanks. It’s … Ј175,000.
Estate agent That’s right. It’s on West Street. Very nice location. Or this
one. It’s a little bit closer to the centre, in Cambridge Avenue. But it’s more
expensive.
2 Chemist Can I help you?
Woman Yes. I need something to help me sleep at night. Some pills, maybe.
Chemist Well, we’ve got some herbal pills.
Woman Are they strong?
Chemist Not really. You need to see a doctor if you want something
stronger.
Woman It’s just that my husband snores. I can’t get to sleep. It’s very noisy.
Chemist Well, I can sell you something to stop your husband snoring.
Woman Great idea!

Woman Do you work here?
