Lesson 001: Finding an Apartment

English

Sulan and Steve looked hard for an apartment in central Wellington. We looked in Trademe and we looked in the local newspaper and we asked friends. We looked at many apartments.

Finally we found our apartment in Southern Wellington. It has 2 bedrooms on the bottom floor, along with a big bathroom. 1 bedroom is smaller and can have 2 single beds but the main bedroom is big enough to have a queen sized bed. The top floor has a large living room and a kitchen and a nice balcony. This floor also has a dining room and a small corner office space.

It is a nice apartment because it is a warm and spacious apartment. It has windows looking both east and west so we get sun all day long. We have a little car that we park in the car park for the apartment. We can both walk to work so the car is only used when we want to go somewhere.

第一课 － 找公寓

素兰和史蒂夫花了很多精力在惠灵顿市中心找公寓。我们在trademe上找,在当地报纸上找，还跟朋友了解租房的情况。我们看了不少公寓。

我们终于在惠灵顿的南区找到了一个公寓。这个公寓有两层。底层有两个卧室和一个大卫生间。一个卧室比较小，只能放两张单人床。主卧室放一张大床绰绰有余。顶层有一个大起居室，厨房和阳台。这层还有一个餐厅和一个小小的办公角落。

这个公寓很不错；暖和又宽敞。它的东面和西面都有窗户，因此全天朝阳。这个公寓区有自己的停车场。我们有辆小车，它停在属于我们的车位上。我们可以走路去上班。所以，我们只是在外出的时候才用车。
