Conversation between two friends about house
Answers
Miss Saima: Well, Nadia. It's obvious you have made up your mind. I am extremely sorry you have made this decision to live outside college.
Nadia : I have thought about it seriously. Miss Saima. I have been thinking of coming to see you for a long time.
Miss Saima : Have you got your parent's permission to live outside College?
Nadia : Yes, I have. They know all about it and they think it's quite a good idea.
Miss Saima : I feel they should have consulted me. You realize that I am responsible for you.
Nadia : I'm sorry. Miss Saima, but I wasn't going to do anything without seeing you first.
Miss Saima : Well, as you seem to have made up your mind, and as your parents have apparently agreed that you should find some other place to live, what are we going to do about it?
Nadia : I was thinking of getting a flat.
Miss Saima : A flat? We don't usually allow first year students to live in flats. We have certain college rules about this sort of thing, you know, Nadia.
Nadia : Yes, Miss Saima. I do understand.
Miss Saima : We'll have to see about it.
Nadia : Thank you, Miss Saima.
Amna : How did it go? Was it all right?
Nadia : She was a bit unpleasant at first. She was surprised that I wanted to leave.
Amna : What did she say?
Nadia : She was rather angry because my father didn't writ to her first.
Amna : You should have told him to. That's fairly obvious. Never mind! Did she give you permission to leave? That's the important thing, 'cos if she did you can start making some plans.
Nadia : No, not exactly. She said we'd have to see about it. But I think if I find somewhere she'll probably say 'Yes.'
Amna : She's not a bad person, really. Things'll turn out all right in the end you'll see. Hope so! How are you going to find a flat?
Nadia : I'll look in the local paper for a start. Where is that paper?
Amna : Here it is. What's your price limit?
Nadia : Not higher than Rs. 8 I'll find someone to share with. That's all I can afford. It would be too expensive to live on my own. Sharing means hat I halve all the other expenses like heating and light as well.
Amna : And food. It'll also mean that you won't have all the cleaning to do on your own.
Nadia : I suppose a flat for thee would be all right but I'd rather find one for two.
