Script

I finally found an apartment and I’m excited to move in! I have so many things that I will need to buy because it is unfurnished. Thankfully, the major appliances are there so I don’t need to buy a stove or a refrigerator. There is even a dishwasher! For the bedroom, I’ll need to get a bed, a dresser, and a nightstand. I’ll also need sheets and pillows and blankets. I must get bath towels, too. Since I have to pay the rent and deposit when I sign the lease, I will not buy a sofa for the living room until later.

Listen to the audio and choose the best answers.
