速成英语口语第四册 Lesson5:Making an Offer

Making an Offer

Kevin: So, this is the place I told you about. Third floor, three bedrooms, two baths, hardwoods, excellent view.

Brad: What kind of upgrades have they done?

Kevin: All the fixtures¹ are less than two years old. The master bath has a whirlpool tub.

Brad: I like the granite² countertops in the kitchen. Could you tell me about the appliances?

Kevin: All stainless³ steel appliances, as you can see. The refrigerator has a built-in water filtration system.

Brad: What's the square footage of this place?

Kevin: It's 1,350 square feet, not including the balcony space.

Brad: It's quite spacious⁴. We really want something close to town, so this sure fits the bill.

Kevin: Would you like to make an offer?

Brad: Yes, and let's try to get them to throw in the washer and dryer⁵. We want to move on this as quickly as possible.
